When I worked in camera retail, we used to sell various 'soft bounces'. Usually little tent like things that would slip over a flash. Check out Henry's or another photo only retailer.

Now, check and see if in your Sony if you have the flash compensation settings. You can adjust flash brightness by playing with that. No sure if it is on your model, but it was on the 828 and the 717 and other higher models. Should be on the H2.
