Kodak 4100ix manual Taking Flash Pictures, Flash-Lamp Signals, 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. When you partially depress the shutter button (12) and the flash- indicator lamp (20) glows red, the flash is fully charged and ready for picture-taking (see table below for other Flash-Lamp Signals and page 8 for the recommended Flash-to-Subject Distance).
