Is the flash automatic or do you have to open it to use the flash?

You have to push a button to pop up the flash, but then you can have it on auto setting in case some of the pictures don't need the flash.

You have to manually slide the flash up when you need the flash to operate.

Yes, it has a flash, but I hardly ever use it, as the auto settings are good.

I haven't used it in a while so I don't really remember but I think as long as it is open it will not interfere with the flash.

My flash comes on automatically when I slide the button to pop it on, u can go to the menu & play with it but I've never had a prob before. If nothing else Kodak has great customer service

It usually takes less then 3 seconds to reload if the battery is full of energy. Yes this flash is automatic, but this flash can only work in eyepiece mode with my Canon 5D Mark 3 camera. The use of it is actually so limited. I strongly do not recommend it.

You have to open the flash dock manually ... its not automatic !!! But the flash works only if necessary.

Yes, I put it on Manual and the flash just pops right up. It does come up automatically.

Yes, but only in manual mode. However don't buy this. It's a huge piece of junk, firing the flash 1 in 5 shots if you are lucky, more like 1 in 10 on average. Save your money and buy a better quality set up.

By default the flash is automatic. It might be helpful, as the others say, to go to the 'thunder' sign on the Function's Circle on the back of the camera to set it and turn it on. If the flash doesn't work turned on, then it is a manufacturing problem and you should contact the seller and/or Cannon.

No, but the flash is easy to use and easy to change settings. It does have a cheap feel, but works great. I have a canon flash, but this is my go to.

The first click is the spot light (front) - second click is side light but by pulling in the trigger part way you can make that flash manually.. This is a very nice light.

it will work but it will not function as an 'auto' flash. everything must be done manually.

No, it's a manual flash. you have to set the output of flash manually. It should trigger the flash when you press the shutter release, but it will only fire the settings that you manually set on the flash. Hope this helps!

Manually...... I like that some cameras the flash just go's off and screws up the picture with to much light

No. There is a small button next to the flash. Push this button when you want to use the flash.

I had the same problem trying to use the camera in auto mode. It popped up, i think every time i turned the camera on in the auto mode, but it wouldn't fire, even in a completely dark room. Yes, the flash was set to auto. It seemed to work fine in other modes. Every camera i've run across fires the flash automatically when used in auto so i figured there was something wrong with the one i recieved.
