I'm getting pictures that are almost black whenever I use my built in flash or Nikon flash accessory if I leave the mode in auto. If I switch to manual exposure everything is fine. Any ideas ?
Try the custom menu,it might have the flash compensation values too low
To fully answer the question we need to know the exact model of the flash on the hot shoe. Flash settings can be made on the flash, the camera or both. And if on both they are additive.
The simplest way is to set the camera to P mode, add the flash, and set the flash synch on the camera to first curtain. Take a picture and see what you get.
Have you tried switching the White Balance to "flash?"
