How do i get my vivicam 3780s to flash jusy once? [it always has two flashes when taking pics]

Back up from what you are photographing, and turn your flash off or onto auto. You do this by lightly tapping the little Lightening bolt in the lower right corner of the LCD screen and repeat as necessary until the yellow lightning bolt on the left side of the screen either has a red circle on it w/ a light through it (off) or a capitol A beside it (auto). I prefer auto, because I take most of my photos outdoors and it's hard to tell if a flash is necessary under a tree when its really sunny, or on a really cloudy day @ the beach...(sunny day in the shade-flash. Cloudy &rainy beach? No flash, not ever!) There is a problem w/ the cameras flash system though, you can set it on auto thinking that you can just click away & let the camera handle the flash like you can on most cameras, but the Vivitar almost always has to have the flash reset after every single photo, but then every once in a while it stays on the same setting all day long!

There are a lot of variables but set the macro to on and no flash. Make sure you give the camera time to autofocus and shoot straight into the glass. You may also try using the flash but block its full effect with the corner of a playing card.This will speed up your shutter and stop glare from the glass.

for 1 thing u might need another memory card for the camera if u have drop your camera it might have paused for a min and that called it to
Dysfunctions on u. and please try not too get a too
Expensive card for it but not a cheap one at that to so get a between price

It's a camera, not a webcam. It records pics and videos, but doesn't stream them live to a computer.

is the vivicam 3780s compatible with vista please

When you turn the camera on and you are on the main screen, use the last touch screen button at the bottom marked with a lighting bold. If you hit it it once, the flash is automatic, if you hit it twice it is always on.

Find a Vivitar Vivicam 3780s manual and software here. Just send them a search request.

flash does work on your vivitar cam you just have to put it on.
when you want to take a pic with flash on you simply have to press the backwards arrow which has the lihtning flash arrow above it. now the flash should work when you take your picture.
Good Luck
hope it works-it should because i've got the same cam too.

go to the settings on the camera and tell it to automatically to use the flash but be carefull it wastes the battery more

check your batteries...sometimes cheap batterie or regular batteries do the same to mine...you may need to spend the little extra and purchase batteries for a digital camera ect....good luck
