I don't have the same camera, but....
Have you used other cameras? I ask because this helps you to judge
whether it's the camera or the....well....the operator :-< <G>
In the interests of rapid response I will lecture anyway..<G> I hope
it may help.
Have you tried altering the White Balance (WB) settings? Auto _should_
handle flash, but you may need to set to a specific setting.
When you say "a blue cast" this _could be caused by underexposure.
This would be a general grey-blue effect, with everything not quite
bright enough. Most flashes have settings for power, and you should be
able to set the output. But with all flashes there is a limit to the
distance they can handle, and it's quite small. Your manula should
reccommend a maximum. Beyoind this, you will get under exposure.
The flashes on most of these cameras are also auto-adjusting, limiting
themselves to prevent _over_ exposure, and work quite well.
If the front area or close things are not bad, but back thnings are
"blued" then see if the flash has a "Slow" setting. This allows much
slower shutter speeds to sync with the flash. This means that you
flash the front subject, but use a nice slow shutter speed to grab the
background as well. Remember to allow fro camera movement and subject
movement.
>Have the Casio EX-S3 digital camera and works pretty well for a 3meg'er.
BTW. IMO in the prosumer range at the moment, I feel that the 3meger
may be the best compromise between resolution and noise / problems. I
say that and I own a 4 Meg camera.
