You don't want to strain your eyes to see your screen, and the fix is really simple. It's about as easy as adjusting the brightness on a TV. You'll have your brightness set the way you want it in a few seconds.

Is it an old one. The tube ones? There is adjustment on the back of the picture tube. About five of them. You need a flat head screwdriver. Not sure which one, but you can boost up different things. Each color and bright contrast. Gamma.??? Don't touch the wrong thing. If it is doing that then what you got to loose, right?

Most cameras have a function where you can decrease or increase the brightness of the flash. I, too, had that problem on the built-in flash on the Nikon D40, so I toned it down to -1 power, which illuminated the subject but didn't wash out. Also, if you're shooting an external flash, try toning the ISO settings on the flash to a lower number or decreasing the power. Also, angling the flash away from the subject slightly helps a great deal.

there should be brightness adjustments if you hold down the Fn button and look at your function keys F1,F2,F3,etc. There should be "cones" with plus and minus signs to adjust brightness

If you're using the forced flash setting, it may be too bright. Try setting the flash to Auto. If you're facing a bright light source, you may need to shoot your picture from a different angle. Use Image Expert to adjust the picture's brightness, as described on page 9-4. Set user mode to Manual and adjust the camera's exposure setting.
