Kodak DX6440 manual Using the Flash, Off-flash never fires

Chapter 2

Using the Flash

Use the flash when you take pictures at night, indoors, or outdoors in heavy shadows. Flash is effective between 1.6-16.7 ft (0.5-5.1 m) in Wide angle and between 2.5-8.5 ft (0.75-2.6 m) in Telephoto.

The flash setting can be changed in any Still mode. The default flash setting is restored when you exit the mode or turn off the camera, except in PAS mode (see page 25).

setting button

Press the button repeatedly to scroll through the flash options.

The active flash icon is displayed in the camera screen status area (page 8).

Auto* (default)—flash fires when the lighting conditions require it.

Off—flash never fires.

Fill—flash fires every time you take a picture, regardless of the lighting conditions.

Red-eye*—flash fires once so the subject’s eyes become accustomed to the flash, then fires again when the picture is taken. (If the lighting conditions require flash but do not require Red-eye reduction, the flash may fire only once.)

*The flash may fire, even in bright outdoor conditions, if the background is brighter than your subject.
