Hi there, one of the option for this Sony DSC-WX80/W for flash is "ON" which allows the flash to always operate on any condition. For further in you can check on the link given below. Hope this helps. -Elyhttp://docs.esupport.sony.com/dvimag/DSC-WX60_WX80_WX200_guide/eng/contents/05/02/03/03.html?search=flash

Yes, the flash is automatic. Overall this is an amazing camera, taking gorgeous pictures and crystal clear video.

You can change setting on flash to "Slave" and the flash unit is auto triggered by another flash. Very nice feature.

So far (with all the settings I've tried), there is no auto-flash. You must press a button. Good: doesn't distract players on the field. Bad: camera reverts to ISO 800 which can be grainy.

Yes, the flash will automatically pop up... but you also have the option to spend a quarter of a second to push it back down, which then turns it off. Frankly, this is a better option than not having it pop up automatically and having to lift it up.

Set the flash "OFF" in P Mode (programed mode) and it will stay until you change it.

I'm not sure what to tell you on that one. But it is a manual flash. Plug-in a trigger and take some test shots with brightness settings and you will get dialed in pretty quick. Do you have any other specific questions that you need help with?

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

Auto mode picks the best possible settings from a huge internal library. Auto ISO enables low light pics without flash. The only issue is in bright light(in all Modes) Frank Wilson mentioned in a previous post the quick set dial for adjusting exposure. I find Setting it to -.3 gives good results. You can always brighten picture but can't darken washed out ones. Picture quality is impressive.

Manually it works great, but the auto?.....not so well. Took some outdoor pics of my nephew's. It was a sunny day, no clouds. Went to take a pic under a tree but it was so bright behind him, he was a black silhouette. Tried zooming in and out to try to get it to recognize where I wanted it to focus; it it didn't work. Tried turning the flash on while in the auto setting. It wouldn't work either. Have to go into program settings to get the force flash to work. Have to adjust the aperture to get the backlight (not every time, but whenever it won't do it automatically.)

HI I bought 2 sets and have the same problem. There is a button on the back you can push to change the setting, but I think there are a million settings to go through. I seemed to push the correct number of times for one set and it is on without flashing so I know it works, but the other one I never go to work and I heva tried everything. Good luck.

The flash only works if there is not enough light - automatic. However, there is a menu in the camera, and I see Lamp Setting which is on when you get the camera, but you can turn it off.

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

your flash might be set for automatic. look on back to where you see a lightning bolt, press it and see how it is set. if all else fails read the manual. ( this would be my first thing to do sit down with a cup of coffee in the am and just read. and register your camera on line.

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

This flash is very simple, but it does not have ETTL (full auto) functionality. In other words, the flash power is set by the user manually, not automatically.

You can't adjust flash power, Paul. The camera is amazing though. I have enjoyed using it as both a companion to my DSLR and in place of the DSLR when I don't want to lug around a lot of equipment.
