Question - while shooting manual, with flash set to pttl (in my case, K200D w/ FA 50 1.4, AF360FGZ) I seem to underexpose a fair bit. Took a myriad of candids New Years Eve, and while the photos are sharp and evenly exposed, they are a bit dark. Histogram shows nothing on the right 25% of the graph.

Do I need to add flash exposure compensation to make up for the loss of light due to the additional distance (up and down versus straight on) and diffusion of light from the flash? Is there a general rule for how much to add?
