How is the flash on the H2: Does the flash on the H2 still have this problem?

Change the metering mode from the default of 'Multi' to either 'Center' or 'Spot.' This way the flash exposure is set for the subject you point at, rather than for the whole scene. With the default metering mode of 'Multi', the camera tries to get the unimportant background to be well-lit in addition to the subject, which produces too much light on the subject. Using 'Center' or 'Spot' will cause the flash to put out just the right amount of light for what you point the camera at. This also works well for closeup shots with the flash taken in macro mode!

I've never had a problem with my flash before they enlarged the cutout. If they have made the cutout larger, it must have corrected some issue someone thought they were experiencing. I guess that means 'yes'. :-)

At first I guess I didn't notice the flash issue in mid lighting. But yes it does have a flash glare. I. Used a small dremil sander attachment to widen the circle of the flash hole . No issues now . such a small repair makes it a awesome case.IMO.

I bought it for my mother for Christmas and when I asked her this question she said that she hasn't had any problems with it so far but then again she can't really remember if or when she used the flash on the camera. Lately she used the camera without the flash. But over all she hasn't had any problems with it.

I haven't noticed anything wrong with the flash at all, it must have been fixed a long time ago

I purchased my SD890 IS from Amazon last year just because of this problem with my older Canon SD 700IS. Perhaps Canon can help with this issue. I just took a photo for a test and the flash worked on A - ISO HI and the picture seems to be fine. Perhaps it's your settings that play a part in this issue. SS

^^Both are wrong but Raymond is "less" wrong. You can find workarounds like Skyfire app but this phone doesn't have the right chipset for Flash to run properly. From what I've heard it doesn't run very well on any phones currently but that's something for Adobe to work out.

No problems with flash charging on either alkaline or lithium, but the shutter lag is horrendous.

1. No. The flash cannot keep up with camera's ability to shoot continuously. 2. Yes. 3. Between 1-2 seconds with new batteries, significantly slower after several consecutive shots. Please note my review -Once this thing is out of warranty, it becomes a "throwaway" unit - no repair parts, no matter how simple, are available from the US Distributor

So far on my Pentax K1000 it flashes each time I take a picture requiring a flash, I guess that's its internal mode sending a signal thru the hotfoot.

I haven't tried a side by side comparison but the flash still fires when it's supposed to and my pictures are great. I'm not seeing any issues at all.

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

You aren't supposed to have flash turned on in camera, leave it off, test the light by pressing it manually. Typically doesn't work on full auto.

I bought the SD880 IS two weeks ago from Amazon. More than half of all the pictures I took using the flash had dust orbs (lens flares) in the picture. I returned it for an exchange Monday. Tuesday I got the replacement. I took 11 flash pictures in different places for tests. All 11 pictures had dust orbs (white spots) on the pictures, some very noticeable and rendering the picture unusable. And that is in a "clean" environment. So today I returned it for a refund. Just a word of caution. It's caused by the flash intensity, the location of the flash compared to the angle of the lens, etc... I bought the SD880 IS two weeks ago from Amazon.

The one I have is also running adobe flash 11.1 and I agree it is a good inexpensive tablet. I haven't had any troubles.

There is nothing more I know to add to Syd's answer . I have not taken very many shots with the flash but Syd's reply is correct as far as I can tell .
