Kodak 3700ix, 3800ix Taking Flash Pictures, Focus/Flash Lamp Operation, Lamp Indicator Situation

TAKING FLASH PICTURES

In dim light, such as indoors or outdoors in heavy shade or on dark overcast days, you need flash. Your camera features automatic flash that fires when you need it. It also provides automatic daylight fill flash under certain bright-light conditions where shadows may exist. If the focus/flash lamp (16) “blinks” red, the flash is not fully charged. Wait for the light to turn green before you take a picture.
