The flash settings don't work in some modes...what mode do you have the camera set to?

Hi Dear,

You cannot change the settings of flash in auto mode. To change the flash settings you need to keep your camera in programmable mode or manual mode so that you can change the flash settings.

Hope this will help you. If you have more queries on the same. Please do write to us again.

Have a nice day.

The Flash Off setting is fixed and cannot be changed if you are using one of the following modes:

• High Sensitivity, Twilight or Fireworks Scene Selection
• Burst or Exposure Bracket REC Mode

If you are using one of the above modes, change the setting to regain flash control.
NOTE: If using Scene Selection modes, the ISO setting is also fixed to ISO AUTO .

I recently had the same frustrating problem. The top of the camera has a little black button that can change from continuous mode or single picture mode. It has to be on single picture mode to change the flash setting. After this is changed you can press the flash setting onthe dial and change the setting. I hope it works for you.

Select upper jog dial on Auto (green mark) and have flash options.
you maybe changing desired selections which are preset on that particular selection.
let me know what selections you want to change on what settings?

The flash settings on the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-T100 are Auto, Forced Flash, Slow Syncro and No Flash, if it is not giving you a flash and wont allow you to change the setting you might have to talk to sony or the store you bought the camera from. One long shot would be that depending on what other features you are using on the camera, i could be set up to not allow you to change the flash settings in that "mode". Sorry if this is useless, but good luck and if all else fails use sony support! :)

stupid hyperlink not working :( 

I had the same problem with my DSC-H9. The flash setting is set off when in BURST record mode. Go into MENU, scroll down to REC Mode, change it back to NORMAL.

Now go shoot someone or something... with your camera of course!!
