Setting Flash Mode - Polaroid a520 User Manual

• Setting Flash Mode

1. Set the camera to Still Image mode.
2. Pressing the Flash button cycles through the flash modes.
When you press the Flash button, the icon (according to the flash
setting you selected) will appear on the LCD screen. You can now take
pictures using the flash mode you have selected. The flash will recharge
after each flashed picture.
The flash range is approximately 3.2 feet to 6.4 feet (1.0 to 2.0 meters).
The camera has 4 flash modes (default setting is Auto Flash). Use the flash
when you take pictures at night, indoors, or outdoors in heavy shadows.
When shooting under these conditions:
The flash does not fire. Use this setting for outdoor
pictures, or where flash is prohibited or may be
distracting, or when shooting towards a reflective
surface, such as a window or a mirror. If there
is not enough light when using this setting, your
pictures will be too dark.
The flash fires automatically as needed. Use this
setting to take most pictures.
Use this setting to avoid "red eye" in your subject's
eyes. The camera fires a brief preflash before the
main flash.
The flash fires for every picture. Use this setting in
high-contrast situations to provide fill-light or use it
indoors in low light.
NOTE:
• Flash modes are not available in Video mode.
• Never touch or block the flash with your fingers. Doing so can soil these
components and interfere with the correct flash operation.
