Re: Photos!
Ok, this is going to sound odd because it is difficult to explain, but I'll give it a go (I love a good challenge! LOL).
Modern cameras with flash function appear to have to flashes, but actually, they don't. The first 'flash' is a light detection flash, meaning the camera you are using is detecting the type and quality of light that it is being used in. If the camera determines the light quality is too low, then it will use the flash flash.
I have noticed with both my phone and seperate cameras that there is a box in the image area of the view screen. That is the target area for the photo. When the camera is detecting light and other settings, the box target box on my cameras changes colour. Red means the camera settings aren't right for the conditions, and the picture will come out rather blury. Green means the conditions are right, and the shot has a higher chance of being 'perfect'.
As to how to turn that first 'flash' off, my experience is you can't unless you are using the camera outside, in bright sunlight- then it is a case of the camera doesn't need to detect the quality of light, it has already sensed the conditions and doesn't use the flash.
As most cameras these days are digital, it is always a good idea to play with the camera and learn what the settings are and what suits your needs etc. The user manual should only ever be used as a guide. Nothing beats experimenting.
