Hi,
I just got my Sony DSC F505 on Friday and I love it.
Does anyone know if there is a way to force the flash to on so I can illuminate subjects with a very bright light behind them. I couldn't figure out a way to do it.
Thanks in advance.

Re:
When you push the little button on the back of the camera with the light in the middle of it, three things can happen. On the LCD you will see the little lightning bolt. Pushing the button will toggle: Flash FORCED ON : (lightning bolt steady on LCD) FLASH FORCED OFF :(lightning bolt with circle around it and slash thru it) and AUTO FLASH : (no lightning bolt at all)

In Intelligent Auto mode that's true, you only have Auto or Off. If you want more options you should switch to Program mode. There you can select Auto, On, Slow sync, and Off.
Check if the Flash unit in the Camera is popping up automatically.
Check if the Flash is set to Flash Forced Off. If it is set to Off, then set it to Forced On.
Please check if the Camera is not set to the following settings:
REC MODE is set to Burst or Exposure bracket mode.
Scene Selections modes like:
ISO High Sensitivity mode.
Advanced Sports Shooting mode.
Twilight mode.
Fireworks mode.
Set the flash to Flash Forced On when the mode dial is set to M or when Landscape mode, Beach mode or Snow mode is selected in Scene Selection mode.
The Flash mode in the Camera can be changed by pressing the Right Arrow button (>) continuously which will change the settings from Flash Forced ON, Slow Synchro and Flash Forced OFF.
Flash Level can also be adjusted in the Camera by selecting the Flash Level option from the Shooting Menu of the Camera.
You must have an E:61 or E:91 error. You will need to send it back to Sony but, that is what warranties are all about. I am sure it will be fixed quickly and for free!!
