KODAK ADVANTIX 5800MRX Zoom Camera
Selecting Flash Modes and the Infinity-Focus Mode

Besides the auto-flash mode, you can select fill flash, flash off, and infinity (without flash).

Press the SELECT BUTTON until the desired indicator and corresponding text message appear on the LCD PANEL.

Note: Flash modes and the infinity mode remain selected after you take the picture. To cancel the selection, close the FLASH or press the SELECT BUTTON to return to the standard point-and-shoot auto-flash mode.

Fill flash

Bright light indoors or outdoors from backlit subjects can create dark shadows (especially on faces) in high-contrast scenes. Use fill flash to lighten these shadows.

  1. Press the SELECT BUTTON repeatedly until "FILL FLASH" appears on the TEXT-MESSAGING PANEL.
  2. Frame your subject within the VIEWFINDER EYEPIECE.
  3. Partially depress the SHUTTER BUTTON, and when the FLASH/CAMERA-READY LAMP glows green, fully depress the SHUTTER BUTTON to take the picture.

Flash off

When you do not want to use the flash, especially indoors where flash is prohibited, such as in theaters and museums, or when you want to take twilight scenes or distant subjects that are beyond the flash range, or capture the ambiance of existing light, use the flash-off feature.

  1. Press the SELECT BUTTON repeatedly until "FLASH OFF" appears on the TEXT-MESSAGING PANEL.
  2. Frame your subject within the VIEWFINDER EYEPIECE.
  3. Partially depress the SHUTTER BUTTON, and when the FLASH/CAMERA-READY LAMP glows green, fully depress the SHUTTER BUTTON to take the picture.
    • Use a tripod and high-speed film because the shutter speed at night will most likely be slow.

Infinity

For maximum sharpness of distant scenery at any zoom position, use the infinity feature (for outdoor use only).

  1. Press the SELECT BUTTON repeatedly until "INFINITY" appears on the TEXT-MESSAGING PANEL.
  2. Frame your subject within the VIEWFINDER EYEPIECE.
  3. Partially depress the SHUTTER BUTTON, and when the FLASH/CAMERA-READY LAMP glows green, fully depress the SHUTTER BUTTON to take the picture.
