Sony P10 - Better not to use flash?

Archived from groups: alt.comp.periphs.dcameras (More info?)

Remember that the flash has a limited illumination range. It can cause the
camera to show things outside the range much darker than they would be with
just the room lighting. The alternative is camera sensitive in that you may
be able to bounce or reduce the flash intensity with camera setings or your
hankerchief.
