HZ30W Flash

At a certain time of day indoors the flash doesn't go on. Doesn't need it. Other times the flash will go on when I wish it wouldn't . Is there something in the menu settings that can manually turn the flash off.

Thx.

The dial on the back controls the flash. Press the flash symbol and it cycles through the flash modes. I think there are six options, one is off .

I leave my flash "off" most of the time and only activate the flash when I know I'm within contact range and the image could benefit from the flash. This goes for not just the Samsung HX3xW but just about any camera with auto-flash.

Is it inside the menu functions or on the wheel directly and which symbol gives the flash setting? Thx

Clicking the left side of the wheel advances through the flash modes. Look for the lightening bolt symbol.

Thx. Got that figured out. I wold assume if I look around enough I could make that my default as it goes back to auto when shutting off?

Use P mode and it will remember your settings, including flash.
