If I try to take a photo in auto mode indoors using the flash every single picture is totally whited out by the flash? Is there a way to fix/adjust this? Limitation of the camera? A defect?

I went into Program setting and took the same picture making sure the FEC was at zero adn it was. I also adjusted the setting up and down and there was barely a change.
