Turn the flash on

Press the flash button and turn it off

When I turn on sony cyber-shot camera I get a Problem with the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W35 Digital Camera when I turn on sony cyber-shot camera I get a screen display that states "access". The lens keeps going in and out and then it states,"turn the power off and on again" What's wrong??

The flash mode can be turned on by pressing the UP ARROW button dontinuously for the desired settings. Set it to Forced Flash to turn on the Flash for all the time.
The flash mode will not work when the REC Mode is set to Burst or Multi Burst. It will not work when the Scene selection modes like Candle Mode and Twilight mode is selected. Flash will not work in MOVIE mode also.

Check if you are not in Burst mode as flash is disactivated i it.

Go to Menu =>Record Mode and select take a Single picture, it worked for me

Perhaps you have set the camera to a record mode other than Auto. Twilight mode for example, does not activate flash so as to set the camera on a tripod and shoot dark landscapes.

Check your camera record mode, and use auto or portrait mode, which they usually activate flash when there is not enough light.

Hope this helps.
