what does lightning bolt symbol mean? this appears after taking the picture, then the film does not automatically come out until turn camera on & off

I apologize if my answer is wrong. i believe the lightning bolt button is for automatic light adjustment. on the side of the camera you can turn it on or off. the camera should eject the film whether it's on or off.

That's the camera's issue. They sometimes have technical difficulties like that, and they will repair themselves most of the time if you turn it off and let it sit for a little. If it doesn't fix itself try taking it into a camera store that knows about film cameras and they'll help ya!

Could be a couple of reasons. Here are a few: (1) the film could have been shipped or stored improperly, too hot or too cold; (2) the current version of film is still susceptible to over exposure once it ejects. Try a frog tounge or putting it in a dark place as soon as it ejects; (3) the camera could be broken (ejection rollers or depending on model mirror or shudder) or (again depending on model) light feature could be set too high. Hope this gave you some kind of help

There is no direct connection to you camera..... It's used as a "slave" Just plug it in to electrical power and any flash will set it off..... ie a studio light or your on camera flash. Keep in mind if you have what is called TTL flash or "through the lens" this light will mess up the flash exposure. Depending on your expertise in photography.... for now, don't worry about the TTL stuff.... just plug it in and fire a flash and see how nice it works..... I'll answer any follow-up questions if needed

either you moved when you took picture or the object you were taking a picture of was moving. turn setting to sport. Our camera died so we no longer have it. You also could be blowing up the picture to more pixels than you have the camera set at. I can't remember how to set that on that camera.

Hi Christa, thank you for your interest in Levana. The camera would go out in a power outage, since the camera has a switch that slides to the on and off position it will turn back on as soon as your power is restored.

Ya It does that, Camera doesn't detect this flash properly, It's uses setting as if your using the camera without flash, I use it only in manual mode or slave, If you use it in shutter control mode, I will try to increase the iso and Open the apature, So Just use manual mode only.

Perhaps you got some bad film, mine worked fine. I would suggest trying another film & if it happens again it may be your camera

I just ordered this camera so I haven't tried it yet but I have other Canon's and this is how it is done: look at the back of the camera. There is the larger round circle on the right. On the right of the circle there is what looks like a lightning bolt. Press that and it should turn off the flash. Press it again to turn it back on. Hope that helps. UPDATE***** I received my camera so here is an update. In order to turn the flash off the camera has to be set to "program" rather than "auto". Looking at the back of the camera there is a button at the top right. When you have it pushed up where it says "auto" the camera will determine if the flash is needed. If you push it down to the little camera icon it goes to "program" and allows you to set the flash on or off. So to turn off the flash push the top right button down to the little camera icon. Then press the right side of the round circle where the lightning bolt is. At the top of the LCD screen it shows the flash options. Push the right of the circle until the flash off option is highlighted and then press the "func. set" button (in the center of the circle button). Hope that's not too confusing.

It is the image stabilizer. It was very irritating to me as well in the beginning. But when I use the camera outside under normal conditions I don't realize it anymore at all.

yes. Use the 4 way toggle control on back of camera looks like a lightning bolt options show up in screen to choose from

Hi. When the camera is switched off or the lens detached, the motor is disengaged so the focus elements and/or aperture rattle around. I had one of these for a while, and the 30mm version and both did the same thing. I never got the sense that anything was in danger of breaking and as soon as you turn the power on everything snaps into place.

Unfortunately that is simply a characteristic of the camera. When you have it set to auto (the green camera symbol on the dial) and turn the camera off when you turn it back on the flash setting will default back to auto. If you use other camera modes on the dial (A, S, P) then your flash setting will remain regardless of whether or not the camera is powered down.

At the back of the camera there are 4 mode buttons. Push the second one from the left. This for adjusting brightness. ( L ) is to lighten the picture. ( L+ ) is to make the picture even lighter. ( D ) is to darken the photo. NO icon is default. Hope this helps. STM

Hiya. No-glow is nothing more than an invisible "flash " that captures your subject without their knowing they've been photographed. Pretty cool technology, but if you do a web search you can find, technically, what it all means. In a nut shell, it means you'll capture pictures of poachers at night and they won't have a clue they've just been had. Good luck. Mick.

No it sometime's does a group of red lights but they do not "flash" just turn on then off. I thought this would happen everytime but after reviewing the pictures with me waving my hands around and looking at the camera obviously it did not go off everytime but was taking pictures, I do have a light on near me, just a 40watt bulb in a hanger by the coop and not sure if this was enough for it not to need it but even with that light it was pretty dark outside.

Mine has the lightning bolt and it works great. (I hadn't noticed the lightning before... thanks)
