Default My first digital camera - how to turn on flash?

I've recently acquired my first digital camera, second hand
no instructions available. I've worked out most of the functions
but I can't work out how to turn on the flash.

The display shows a symbol, its a zigzag line inside a circle
I think means "flash off," am I right?


The camera is an I.T. Works model 3045. Any help?


Anyone know if I.T. Works has a website? Maybe I could
download a manual from there, or could email my question..

There should be a button that you press to cycle through the flash options,
Flash On, Off, Red-eye reduction, etc. This button would have a flash sign
beside it. Otherwise invoke the Set-up menu.

Never heard of I.T. Works, although if I suspected that your
message was a troll, I'd say about the flash that I.T. doesn't Work.


First, make sure that the camera isn't set to a mode such as
Sports Mode or Landscape Mode, which probably wouldn't allow the
flash to operate even if you found the magic procedure to enable the
flash. Auto or Aperture Priority mode would be a good starting
point. Next many cameras use a button to cycle through the
different flash options. This may be a standalone button, but some
cameras that have a circular 4-way controller (up, down, left,
right), may use one of these four buttons to control the flash mode.
Another of the four might enable/disable macro mode, which is
usually symbolized by an icon that resembles a flower. If the
camera is of a really weird design, it might require you to hold one
"control" button while you press another to change the flash
setting. Something like that wouldn't be too easy to figure out.
Good luck.
