Thanks, all. Yes the timing sucks but I had no choice as my old flash let me down on a previous shoot on Monday. The Metz 36 AF-4 P is fully automatic, just on and off so it's only the camera settings that I need to worry about.
I've bumped up the ISO a little and shooting on 'P' and I'm now getting usuable shots, and yes, I agree about post processing. I can always up the exposure in PhotoShop.
I took a lot of shots last night and am getting the hang of it.
The pictures I'm taking are all house interiors, no people to worry about so I can take a lot of shots at different settings and play with the results.
