Hit the button with a little lightening bolt on it, then dial it down.

That effectively gets you more flash range, even though you really are not changing the flash.

Raising the ISO will have the same effect as increasing the intensity/brightness of the flash.

Another way to get less light in is to use a narrower aperture. actually, i'm a she, but that's ok. i understand light just fine. i have a photography assignment where i have to take 3 pictures- one with no flash, one with 1/2 stop flash fill, and one with one stop flash fill. thanks for the help though!

I've never heard of anybody trying to decrease the intensity, only increase it.
