KODAK ADVANTIX C300 Auto/C400 Auto Focus Camera
Taking Flash Pictures

In dim light, such as indoors or outdoors in heavy shade, or on dark overcast days, you need flash. Your camera features an automatic flash that fires when you need it. The flip-up flash helps to minimize red eyes in flash pictures and to prevent hand obstruction in front of the lens. When you partially depress the shutter button and the flash/camera-ready lamp turns off and the fill-flash indicator stops blinking, the flash is fully charged and ready for picture-taking.

  1. Open the LENS COVER/FLASH to raise the flash and to turn the camera ON.
  2. Frame your subject within the VIEWFINDER EYEPIECE.
  3. Partially depress the SHUTTER BUTTON. When the FLASH/CAMERA-READY LAMP turns off and the FILL-FLASH INDICATOR on the LCD PANEL stops blinking, fully depress the shutter button to take the picture.

  4. Keep the subject within the distance range for the speed of film in your camera (see Flash-to-subject distance below). Don't take pictures beyond the maximum distance or your pictures will be dark.
