Hello i want to turn the auto flash off

Hello. If you're shooting in Auto mode and you have turned off the flash, your camera will remember that setting and the flash will not fire. If you switch the dial on top of your camera to another mode and then back to auto it should clear the setting and the flash should now fire, if needed. The other thing to try is to hold down the the flash popup/mode button while, at the same time, turning the rear control dial. You can watch your top display and the flash modes should cycle through different options.

hello

Have you consulted the manual in this?

pages 15 to 18

But in any case I beleave you first need to set your camera into the PROGRAM AUTO mode
After you have set your camera to program auto you should be able to change the flash settings as below


Let me know if you need more assistance.

if I remember right , this will work for your bike, Step 1: Turn ign key on-off-on-off-on
Step 2: Press left turn signal 2 times and release
confirmation: 2 or 3 flashes on turn signals (depending on
configuration) 2 for USA, 3 for everything else
Step 3: Press and hold key fob button until confirmation recieved
Confirmation: 1 flash on turn signals
Step 4: Repeat step 3
Confirmation: 2 flashes on turn sigals
Step 5: Press left turn signal 1 time and release
Confirmation: Turn signals flash to indicate option selected:
1 flash - Auto arming disabled
2 flashes - auto arming enabled
Step 6: Repeat step 5 to switch between auto / auto off
Step 7: Turn IGN switch off

You have 2 options to try before you consider a service tech to look @ the camera.

Prelim : Ensure the batteries are charged & your using standard batteries.

Option 1 : Put the dial in Auto mode and see if that helps with the flash, also ensure you are trying to click the picture in a dim or dark environment, else the Auto flash won't fire if the environment is bright enough

Option 2 : Backup your pictures and reset your camera by using the menu. This should take care of any settings that might have been accidentally turned ON or OFF, then try to get back to the option 1 to see if the flash fires... (you will have to set the date & time post this action)

Press the Flash button (the top part of the circular "joystick" button, marked with a lightning bolt) to cycle through the options. You can choose from Auto with red-eye reduction, Auto, Flash on with red-eye reduction, Flash on, and Flash off. You want the lightning bolt in a circle with a slash through it.

Hello,

On the control button (large button on the back) at the top is a symbol that looks like a lightning bolt with an arrow tip. This is also the UP arrow. When you press it continually, the flash options will be noted by symbols.

No indicator - Auto
Lightning bolt - Flash forced on
Lightning bolt followed by SL - Slow Synchronized flash
Lightning bolt with the circle and line through it - Flash Forced off

You can refer to the manual for your camera at:

Use of the control button is on Page 17.

Thanks for using Fixya.

When this camera is in "Auto" mode the only flash functions available are Auto or Flash Off - in order to get the option of "Flash On" for all pictures you have to put the camera in "Manual" mode - to do this:

-Set the mode switch to the camera icon
-Press the "Func./Set" button
-Use the left or right arrow keys to set it to Manual mode (its icon looks like half a camera with the letter M beside it)
-Press the "Func./Set" button again to save your mode change.

Now when you press the flash button and cycle through the choices there will also be a "Flash On" option.

Hello!
I just solved this problem: to put flash, while you are in shooting mode, touch MENU, then REC Mode on the first page, and touch Normal, to take a single picture and then OK, you'll have the Auto Flash which appeares; but I never knew how to put the other kinds of flash...

hello,

its the round selection button on the back of the camera showing the flash option,

once selected you can scroll and see auto, rey eye reduction, off, fill in flash, slow sinc.

you press the ok in the center of the button to lock your selection.

good luck!

hello,

make sure when you press the round selection button on the back of the camera flash option, you press the ok in the center of the button on the back.

it will show brief yellow AUTO in the LCD screen upper right corner for a sec.

when you are going to take a picture holding the shutter button half way down, you should see up at the right corner outside of the LCD screen a red led flashing to indicate flash is ready.

one thing to try if this is not working, find the camera reset option in the menu. after doing this you may have to reset the date & time. it will bring the camera back to default settings

on the bad side if these dont work, possible flash circuit may have failed inside the camera.

good luck!
