Sony DSC-H1 flash off/on?

20 years ago

Dumb question but .... while on vacation we had the flash turned off through the menue. Now I can't find the flash off/on in the menue. How do I get back to on?

I've never turned my flash off through the menu. I just use the Control Button (the one that has the lightening symbol).

Yes, I do too but......DH thought this was a better way, This is a new camera and he was suppose to learn how to use it.
If you have the same camera have you seen this in the menu?
I'm sure it can be turned back on if I can find the right screen. I might have to call Sony or take it to someone.
Thanks

Thank you all! Sowngrow Jasper and Banff National park are known for it's wild landscape with high mountain peaks but really not that much wildlife, guess the area are so vast that these animals are spread out pretty good. Nevertheless, hope you had a good time in Canada. To see moose, I think Yellowstone park is a better bet. Catherine, Yes,..you said it, for over 25 years I have spent every free time there,..most all grown from seeds, incl. several hundred spruce trees. My main goal with this property is pretty well done now. Still allot of work for up keeping.

Camera battery life questions for Canon S2 or S3

Hi Ann My Wife has a Canon S2 IS....all I can say is, you get allot of camera for your money! I use a Rebel, but S2 always amazes me with the quality of photos it can take! The only drawback I find with these cameras, also Sony, I tried one out, 12 x zoom lens, but have returned it, just because the processing speed is a bit slow, perhaps with the new one it is better? As for batteries, we use Energizer rechargeable 2500 mA H, it takes about 3 hrs. to recharge and you can shoot about 200 to 300 pics on super fine setting. You should have at least two sets [of 4] , my Wife has 3 sets, so you will never run out of power. I find these batteries are more convenient, because it is available anywhere, much cheaper, about 1/3 of the price then my canon Rebel special battery. We heard, S3 IS will be released May 31. Also it has some new futures like sport shooting setting, which is good for moving objects and ISO up to 800 from 400. Here are some sample shots from couple of days ago. Konrad Macro

Maggie..I've never seen a way to turn the flash on/off in the menu. I haven't had my camera very long. I do know that Joan_MN use to have this camera, so maybe she knows.

Boy, I didn't think there was any way except the button/lightning bolt, either.
Time to read the manual!

Sorry, I can't find that menu flash off/on either. Hubby did it. He showed it to me so I thought that was good too, but now I can't find it. I'm not sure if that was the wise way to go. It was in the "set-up" menu so am thinking it is still off. It was nice not to have to remember to always do it with the contro button. However.....to get it back on I had to go through the settings using the contro button. Personally....I wouldn't recomend going through the menu. In some settings the flash won't go on (read booklet)(read me first) but at least now I do have a flash. Love the camera but We'll just use the "auto" from now on.
