I have made a temporary diffuser for the flash as you can see in the photo and put a plastic top over the on camera flash. I have taken lots of photo's all at different f stops and have now found the ideal setting for various distances.

Glad its all turned out OK Christine,

My reading of the instructions and what I managed to glean off the net infers that no2 is the correct setting.

Very impressed with the diffuser. It overcomes any colour problems with bouncing off a ceiling and is very versatile.
Did you try without the diffuser over the pop up once you had solved the no.2 setting ? As the pop up is a lot lower power I would not think you need it. If you do find you have to use it, you need to drill holes to get some air circulation in there, as the flash will generate a fair bit of heat that needs to be got rid of.

Top job all round.

You should start a money savings tip thread with this.
