Using the flip-up flash
Use the flash when you take pictures at night, indoors, or outdoors in heavy shadows.
Make sure you are within the flash range.
To change the flash settings, see page 36 .
Using an external flash unit
Use an external flash unit when you want additional or specialized lighting (we
recommend a Kodak external flash unit for fully automatic extended flash
capabilities). You can use the camera’s built-in flash, as well, to provide extra fill flash.
1 Slide off the Hot-shoe cover.
2 Mount the flash unit to the Hot shoe.
3 Turn on the external flash unit.
The external flash unit is live when connected to the
camera. The flash synchronizes at any shutter speed.
Refer to your external flash unit user’s guide for details.
