Manual focus makes more sense. Although a tripod would probably make that much easier and I do not have one of those available right now. I guess I'll put that on my ever growing list of "Camera Accessories I Want".

I'm not even going to ask about medium format cameras or Hassleblad. That sounds like an entirely different world right now.

It could be that they came out black because of far too little light without the flash. I took the water drop pictures in my kitchen and there's not a window there, so light from outside doesn't really come in. I set up two desk lamps that seemed very bright (to me) but perhaps the camera felt otherwise. Perhaps if I had two super bright lights like you use for your books it would make a difference.

Exposure? I keep seeing this word pop up in things I read, but I have yet to find out what it really means.
