Does the flash pop up automatically when needed?

Yes if the flash setting is on , you can select no flash on the dial and it wont pop up when you turn it on

No. Sorry my first answer it's incorrect since I never use iAuto I didn't know that the flash pop up automatically in iAuto mode, otherwise it's only manual.

Depends on the camera setting - if you are in Auto then yes. If you are in something more manual then no.

I'm going against the others by saying: not really. If you've set the camera to be in iAuto mode, then the flash module will always pop up as soon as you power up the camera. However, I find that the protruding flash module is annoyingly in the way of how I like to hold small cameras, such as this one, with my left hand. So, I'd push it down. Of course this changes the camera's flash setting to disabled. Thus, even if it's really dark and you would think the camera should being using the flash, well hey, it's been manually disabled, so no flash. You will need to keep this in mind (ie is the flash module is not popped up?) and then click through the settings to re-enable the flash again (pop it up).

The flash is located on top of the camera, to the left as the screen faces you. When you set the flash to auto, does the flash pop up? What mode are you using? iauto?

Flash can be set to automatic (based on lighting) or you can turn it off/on manually.

Releasing the pop up flash is manual. However, you'll will figure out to do it when you are in low light situations because a light on the front illuminates the scene for a second. In real use, you probably wouldn't an automatic pop up because it would get into your way when trying special exposures that you want darkness such as sunsets.

No, but the popup flash does a great job. sometimes when shooting objects I add a spot light from the side.

Looking at the front of the camera,it's a pop-up flash unit located on right side top section.Works automatic or manual whichever way you have it set.

Yes. It's a pop up flash and if the camera knows it's it's needed it will pop up automatically

The camera, left on automatic will satisfy you just fine. When the picture needs a flash, it automatically pops up.I do not consider myself an expert and I love my new camera. Have fun

Yes, it detects light levels and will flash when it is required. I think there are some manual overrides possible but I just use the out of the box auto feature.

I purchased the flash, but I have not used it yet. Sorry, I can't help. Jim K

It pops up when you push the button to take a picture if the flash setting requires a flash. Once up, it stays up until manually pressed down.

Bad news about the flash - I just checked out the User Guide for the SX210IS on Canon's website and it mentions that the flash will automatically pop up when you power on the camera in any mode :(Check out page #24 here:http://gdlp01.c-wss.com/gds/4/0300003224/01/PSSX210IS_CUG_EN.pdf

No. It really only tells you that it is active. I only notice the lights when I trigger the flash. They pop on momentarily...I guess signaling that it is active.

Yes it does. The flash setup can be found in the camera menu. The camera has an auto mode which automatically pops the flash when required.

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.

There is a button right behind the flash. You have to push it for the flash to pop-up. This link will show you the flash button. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wYOHltiToNk

I have no idea. When I put the ring flash on my pop-up flash does not pop up.
