How to turn off flash in EOS 300D digital Rebel
hi
i just bought this camera off futureshop. I have read the manuals etc but cannot figure out how to turn off the auto flash!. the manual mentions that non creative mode, the flash will not flash.. however I thought it might be possible to simply press on the flash button to force it off or on.. anyone knows? thanks, |

It sounds as though you've misread the manual (which isn't hard to do). It's the non-creative modes in which the flash automatically pops up. In M, Av, Tv, and P the flash won't fire unless you ask it to by popping it up manually. The general advice is to learn how to use M, Av, Tv, and P modes and to not use the other modes. David J.

I think I have seen it with the disable symbol before ( a buddy rebels ) Not in the automatic 'icon' modes (full auto, portrait, landscape, etc.). You have absolutely zero control. In the manual modes (M, Av, Tv, P), it won't fire unless you force it. Mark |

Mark There are seven Full Auto modes on the 300D: full auto, portrait, landscape, close-up, sports, night portrait and FLASH OFF. Turn the Mode Dial of the camera clockwise as far as it will go to disable the flash. In Full Auto, the flash is also disabled in landscape mode and sports mode. As mentioned, the Creative Zone of the camera lets you choose. |

It won't pop up. Learn about Tv, Av and the other creative modes. I almost always use Av. John |
