Is there a noticeable flash with this camera at night?

There is no noticeable flash. There is a low glow from the LED's. I've captured a few animals with it and have not noticed them pay attention to the camera. My biggest complaint with the camera is that it doesn't seem sensitive enough (compared to my Bushnell) and the trigger is a little slow as I've caught an animal exiting the frame a couple of times. Other than that it's OK.

Not bad, I would suggest going to the more expensive no-flash if you can afford it? If not this is a great camera for the money, I had one mature deer get spooked from the leds firing. Takes nice pics, make sure you go with a 4gb or bigger card and what Browning recommends for sd cards.

There is just a little bit of a red glow when it goes off not to noticeable.

No flash, but the little red light does come on and there is a very faint sound; normally, animals see it but don't react except to look at the camera. This is a very, very good camera!!! If you want it for security, get the one that doesn't show the light.

No the flash is not noticeable the deer have no idea that the pictures are being taken.

No, from what I see it doesn't scare any of the animals and takes very nice pics . Its not like cameras with actual flash so the deer don't really notice

This camera does not have a flash at night and seems to be ver quiet when it is running. Even during videos the deer seem to not pay it any attention and the deer where I live a pretty spooky due to all the hunters surrounding my property

It has a regular flash for nighttime color photos. This camera will not work for your needs

I agree that the camera does not work well at all in the dark but is fine in daylight and hope that will be upgraded or improved in future versions. Other cameras might work better for night but mine does go off if senses motion.

I think there is only infrared function for night shot. You can take white-black video at night not color one

Hi, this Sony Cybershot doesn't have any infrared or night vision for taking images in the dark w.o the flash. -Ely

It's bright enough to see easily during the day, so I expect it would very bright at night. They've removed the flashing feature due to customer feedback so it remains on steadily when your device is on the pad. "Customizing" it with black tape should solve any night time issues.

Have not driven under those conditions but overall the camera has excellent low light capability. At night the camera view is always much brighter than the actual light level. I am very happy with the low light recordings.

Hi there, I own this camera since this April and took around 8000 pics since, about half of them in very low light. With this camera, you do not even need to use the flash in 99.9% of the cases. (this is why I chose this camera in the first place) In case it's really dark and you don't have any lightsource, you can use the flash and it is sufficiently strong so your photos will look good. But usually, you really don't need the flash at all. I made perfect shots (photo and video) in dark dimmed pubs as well as beautiful nightshots walking around NYC all without using the flash. But if you insist, it's there, and it's perfectly fine.

Pretty sure I remember it flashing red at night when it takes pics . Can't remember what I does in the day.

There is no light that projects from the camera, but you can see at night. At night the picture is black and white due to not having the lights. During the day the picture is in color. There is a small green light to let you know the camera is on. I have three of the cameras in different areas and love them.

Hi there, no it does not; but all the pictures that I have taken to this point (inside & outside) have been exceptional as far as lighting goes. I just always open the flash mechanism when I turn the camera on so if I need a flash it will flash. Hope this helps!

I'm really surprised at how well the camera does at low lighted events. I usually take both flash pics and no flash pics but find many times the pics taken with available light are better than with the flash. Hope that helps.

Mine is ok at night because any motion that triggered the recording feature also triggered my motion light in the area of camera focus. I have mine set to the ultimate focus for the area it covers,but I don't believe you can alter the focus once it has been recorded.

No daylight flash, only IR, so you see nothing. The shutter is extremely quiet. I've walked around in front of the activated camera many times and can't hear anything. The biggest issue is hiding it, so humans don't spot it.
