Jas I would get in a bit closer and use a smaller aperture (higher f stop)..focus is off on a couple but looking at your shutter speeds this would explain it..put the camera in manual mode and up the shutter speed..if they come out dark compensate by either lowering shutter speed or up the power of the flash or raise iso a notch..try shutter speed of 100 to start..

When you say manual mode i take it you mean M on the dial and not Manual focus? Confused

Also had a look in the book and cant see how you turn the flash power up or down, its a built in flash if that makes any difference.
