-   when I use the flash on the slim pix, I end up with a picture thats nearly white all over. This is really annoying and I have only just had it a few months.

Set the camera flash to auto. A digital camera will automatically use all available light to take a picture, and will only use extra light (the flash) if it needs to.
By using manual flash you are over exposing your shots..... giving it more light than is required.
Give it a try.
