Looks like you had something blocking your pop up flash. Could of stood on the other side.

The lens itself is blocking the pop-up flash. This is solved a few different ways:

1. Get a hotshoe flash, may or may not solve the issue.

2. Shoot off-camera flash.

3. Use a lens that's not so wide.

There is not night mode. You're beyond that now. The only difference between day and night is the amount of light so you need to learn to adjust accordingly. There's a thread with general tips and suggestions in this forum that will help you a lot.

You have a dial on top of the camera with numerous modes. Look for S/M/A/P on the dial, they're important. S = Shutter, M = Manual, A = aperture, P = Program.

You don't want that "fisheye" though. Horrible quality, next question from this guy will be about how to fix the quality of the shots from his cam because of this lens.

Save and get the real glass.
