Are you sure there's no auto setting on the cam, that it is set to?Ghage;4027534; said:Thanks for the nice comments guys. I can't figure out how not to use the flash, everytime I try it, it won't let me take a pic. It has "Raise the flash" on the viewing screen and won't take a pic without the flash raised. I use a Nikon COOLPIX L100. Any suggestions????
