KODAK ADVANTIX F600 Zoom Camera
Selecting the Flash and Infinity-Focus Modes

Besides the auto-flash mode with red-eye reduction, you can select auto-flash without red-eye reduction, fill-flash, flash-off, infinity-focus, and night-view modes.

Press the FLASH-SELECT BUTTON continuously until the desired indicator appears on the LCD PANEL.

Note: The flash modes will remain selected after you take the picture. To change the flash-mode selection, press the flash-select button, or turn the camera off then back on to return to the flash-default mode.

Red-eye reduction

Some people's eyes (and some pets') can reflect flash with a red glow. This camera features automatic flash with red-eye reduction which is the initial default setting for this camera. To minimize red eyes in flash pictures, turn on all room lights and follow these steps:

  1. Press the ON/OFF BUTTON to turn the camera on and to uncover the LENS.
  2. Press the FLASH-SELECT BUTTON repeatedly until the AUTO-FLASH and RED- EYE-REDUCTION indicators appear on the LCD PANEL.
    • Disregard step 2 if the default setting is already set for red-eye reduction.
  3. Frame your subject within the VIEWFINDER EYEPIECE.
  4. Have your subject look directly at the RED-EYE-REDUCTION LAMP.
  5. Partially depress the SHUTTER BUTTON. When the FLASH-INDICATOR LAMP glows green, fully depress the SHUTTER BUTTON to take the picture.
    • In this mode there will be a slight delay in the shutter release.

Auto flash without red-eye reduction

Use this mode for taking pictures without people. You can change the default setting to auto flash without red-eye reduction by following these steps:

  1. Press the ON/OFF BUTTON to turn the camera on and to uncover the LENS.
  2. Press the FLASH-SELECT BUTTON repeatedly until the AUTO-FLASH INDICATOR appears on the LCD PANEL.
  3. Frame your subject within the VIEWFINDER EYEPIECE.
  4. Partially depress the SHUTTER BUTTON. When the FLASH-INDICATOR LAMP glows green, fully depress the SHUTTER BUTTON to take the picture.
    • The camera will now default to the auto-flash mode without red-eye reduction.

Fill flash

When bright light indoors or outdoors comes from behind the subject (backlighting), dark shadows (especially on faces) may occur. Use fill flash to lighten these shadows.

  1. Press the ON/OFF BUTTON to turn the camera on and to uncover the LENS.
  2. Press the FLASH-SELECT BUTTON repeatedly until the FILL-FLASH INDICATOR appears on the LCD PANEL.
  3. Frame your subject within the VIEWFINDER EYEPIECE.
  4. Partially depress the SHUTTER BUTTON. When the FLASH-INDICATOR 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 mode. Use a tripod or place the camera on other firm support, and use high-speed film because the shutter speed in these situations will most likely be slow.

  1. Press the ON/OFF BUTTON to turn the camera on and to uncover the LENS.
  2. Press the FLASH-SELECT BUTTON repeatedly until the FLASH-OFF INDICATOR appears on the LCD PANEL.
  3. Frame your subject within the VIEWFINDER EYEPIECE.
  4. Press the SHUTTER BUTTON to take the picture.


Infinity focus

Capture sharp, distant scenery at any zoom position (for daylight and outdoor use only).

  1. Press the ON/OFF BUTTON to turn the camera on and to uncover the LENS.
  2. Press the FLASH-SELECT BUTTON repeatedly until the FLASH-OFF and INFINITY-FOCUS indicators appear on the LCD PANEL.
  3. Frame your subject within the VIEWFINDER EYEPIECE.
  4. Press the SHUTTER BUTTON to take the picture.


Night-view

In this mode, the camera balances the flash and existing light exposure so you can take beautiful pictures of people at sunset or at night. Use a tripod or place the camera on other firm support, and use high-speed film because the shutter speed at night will most likely be slow.

  1. Press the ON/OFF BUTTON to turn the camera on and to uncover the LENS.
  2. Press the FLASH-SELECT BUTTON repeatedly until the NIGHTVIEW INDICATOR appears on the LCD PANEL.
  3. Frame your subject within the VIEWFINDER EYEPIECE.
  4. Partially depress the SHUTTER BUTTON. When the FLASH-INDICATOR LAMP glows green, fully depress the SHUTTER BUTTON to take the picture.
