Pics were taken less than 5 seconds apart, and I used the flash first.
The answer (with a Olympus Camedia D-490) :
With flash:

Without the flash:

With the flash you're exposure settings are based on the flashes output. Your flash is built in, so it doesn't cover too much, and all you really see is what got the flash.

That looks like a typical result for an outdoor flash photo. Most attached flashes (as mentioned) will only affect objects fairly close to the camera, and dull out everything around the item photographed.
