Setting The Flash - Kodak DC280 User Manual

Setting the Flash

When taking pictures at night, indoors, or outdoors in heavy shadows,
your pictures need flash. For everyday picture-taking, use the Auto
setting. However, there are times when changing the flash option can
improve your pictures. For instance, if you are taking pictures of people
indoors or at night, you can help reduce the likelihood of red eye by using
the Red-Eye setting. When your subject is outdoors under heavy
shadows, you can eliminate those shadows by using the Fill flash. In
situations where the use of flash is prohibited, as in museums, you can
turn off the flash.
