Taking Flash Pictures; Flash-Lamp Signals - Kodak Advantix 4700ix Owner's Manual

Taking Flash Pictures

In dim light, such as indoors or outdoors
in heavy shade, or on dark overcast days,
you need flash. Your camera features an
automatic flash that fires when you need
it. It also provides automatic daylight fill
flash under certain bright-light conditions
where shadows may exist. When you
partially depress the shutter button and
the flash-ready lamp glows green, the
flash is fully charged and ready for
picture-taking (see the following tables for
Flash-Lamp Signals and Flash-to-
Subject Distance ).
1. Lift the Lens Cover/Flash (3) up to
uncover the Lens (7) and to activate
the flash.
2. Take the picture when the Flash-Ready
Lamp (13 ) glows green.
• The LCD panel will display "FLASH
NOT READY" message when the
flash is not fully charged.
3. Keep the subject within the distance
range for the speed of film in your
camera. Don't take pictures beyond the
maximum distance or your pictures will
be dark.
