Oh i thought he was refering to something else (technicle forum stuff), then i thought to myself later that it was about the camera alright. I guess natural lighting is better but it was dark and i am new to photography and am yet to learn.
try a flashlight with a tissue over the end. If the light is still to strong, fold the tissue over to double it up, this will give you some nice dispersion and a more even light than the flash.
