I don't have either of these things but the described behaviour (that's 
for U, Chris) is similar to what would be expected with a Canyon and its 
dedicated flash when in program mode and, I assume, in aperture priority 
as well.  The camera will attempt using a slow shutter speed (dragging 
the shutter) along with the flash in order to capture the background 
ambient light.  And, of course, if the ambient is too bright it could 
cause overexposure even without the flash.
