I haven't tried adjusting the exposure compensation yet, but I did play around with the ISO settings last night after I took the camera off auto-ISO.
Also, I attached the sb-400 like you'd recommended earlier and took several shots with it.
Indoors, I was getting some shots I really like (I *think* - I haven't uploaded them to the computer to really look at them yet) by using the bounce flash, setting the shutter speed to 200 and the ISO to 640.
I want to keep playing around with the settings more though, because I don't want to have to rely on the flash all the time. And, having the bounce flash attached seems to limit how fast I can set my shutter speed. I think I have it set plenty fast, but there may be a time when I want to adjust it.
Whew! So much to learn.
