Got it in one mate. If the flash is still too great, go to manual 16 and put a
finger in front of the flash. 2 fingers=2 stops. I've shot wedding pics better
than the pros with this - all manual OM.

P.S. I got most of this info from an old camera store operator. He was asked to
take some wedding photos (his sideline) for a girl, as he had taken the photos
for her mother.
So he rocks up, takes all the home and church pics, just getting ready for the
family shots and notices he has the camera set wrong. A photographers worst
nightmare.
So he said "Lets do it again. I stuffed up". And he got the best photos ever.
Everyone was relaxed and laughing, no tension at all.
He didn't recommend it for future weddings though...
