Turning on the flash again

Somehow I have turned off the flash on my camera. I've searched everywhere I can think of but can't seem to find out how to switch it on again!
It's a Nokia 2680 slide.

Are you sure you've ever taken pictures with camera flash turned on? I'm pretty sure that the 2680 slide does not have a camera flash.

I accidentally press Off the Backlight in my 3rd generation iPod Nano, how can I turn On the Backlight again?

I accidentally press Off the Backlight in my 3red generation iPod Nano, how can I turn it On again? Appreciate any help. Thanks.

What do you mean you turned off the backlight? How did you do that?
Have you tried a hard reset to see if that takes care of it? To this, first make sure the hold switch is in the Off position, then press and hold both the Select (Center) and Menu buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.

How to silent and turn off the flash light the E63...

I would like to turn the flash light off and also the beeps while I am taking a movie with my Nokia E63 but even doing that in picture mode (the only place where I can find such option) it continues to power on the led during my takes even in full daylight, so if someone can help me to turn off both the light and the sounds I will appreciate.

i made some research, apparently there's an application that you can use, it's called a ccam? it's supposed to turn the shutter off and the LED light as well. i tried it, but it says that the certificate has expired and it seems like too much hard work to have it signed so i didn't bother. you can look it up.

Time capsule for back-up only. How do you turn off the flashing amber light?

I am using time capsule to back up my work computer. I use internet through an ethernet cable, no wireless (it's my desktop work computer!), so don't need the airport - just back up on time machine.
I figured out (although there is NO information in the time capsule manual) how to set up the time capsule to wirelessly back up my computer, but because I don't have it plugged into the modem, and I haven't set up an airport connection, it blinks amber at me. How do I make it know that it is as set up as I want it to be, so it will be a steady green? Should I edit the airport utility options so that wireless network mode and/or router mode are "OFF"? If I set wireless mode to off, will my computer still "see" the time capsule and back up using time machine?
This might just be finicky on my part, but the flashing light is annoying me!

If you set up the Time Capsule to back up wirelessly, it functions only as a wireless hard drive...with no routing capabilities at all. In other words, the Ethernet ports on the Time Capsule are not enabled, even though you might have an Ethernet cable connected.
Try opening Macintosh HD > Applications > Utilities > AirPort Utility
Click on the Time Capsule icon, then click directly on the amber dot
AirPort Utility will display a message with information about why the amber dot is flashing. It might be something like a message that a firmware update is available for the Time Capsule.
Should I edit the airport utility options so that wireless network mode and/or router mode are "OFF"?
No, since the Time Capsule will no longer connect wirelessly if you do this.

Option to turn off the flashing zoom effect on iOS7

When it like zooms when you change applications and go to the home screen..
Are they going to add it?
It's very annoying and I bet it drains the battery.

Well there is no option to turn it off yet.
Will apple ever add that option? I doubt it, apple isn't too big on letting people customize the look and feel of the OS. However if enough people complain maybe apple will listen? As of now I don't see it happening though.

Is it possible to delay the flash on a T5i to fire at the end of a long exposure shot

I'm wanting to take long exposure shots of dancers and would like the flash to fire at the end of the exposure instead of the begining to increse the depth of field right as the shutter closes. Is that possible using the on camera flash of a T5i and if so what are the settings?
Thanks,
John

When you use a TTL flash (Canon's E-TTL or E-TTL II) the camera uses a multi-zone metering system (think of an imaginary grid system overlaying your image) and (1) meters with no flash at all, then (2) fires a pre-flash at very low power while simultaneously metering again. It then compares the difference in each zone between #1 and #2 to determine how much of a difference the flash made. By doing this it can identify highly reflective surfaces (e.g. mirrors, glass, reflective metals, etc.) and eliminate those from the flash evaluation. It can also find zones where the flash seemingly made no difference at all (e.g. if there was a light source in that zone... such as a lamp) and elminate those. Light sources and reflections would ordinarily fool a flash metering system into thinking it had produced enough light ... even if it hadn't. With those zones safely eliminated it can then compare the difference for each zone between #1 and #2 to determine how much addtional power should be necessary to correctly light them.
It does all of this during the pre-flash. The shutter is closed when it does this (the light will not affect your image.)
Then the shutter opens and at some point it fires the flash again... only this time using the power level calculated during the pre-flash phase. Only this second firing of the flash will show up in your image.
If you switch the flash to manual mode, you wont get a pre-flash.
The on-board flash is useful as a "fill" flash (decreasing the severity of shadows) and it can be used as a primary flash IF the subject is reasonably close (e.g. around 10' is fine... 14' feet is a stretch and beyond that... not so great.)
An externally attached speedlite flash can provide significantly more power. It can also be located off-camera to provide better lighting (on camera lighting is "flat" because there's no highlight/shadow side to any 3D surface... textures look 2D as a result.)
As for "depth of field"... this is a different problem and the flash can help, but there are some caveats.
If you're shooting indoors with only the available light in the room, then you're likely in challenging circumstances and using lenses with wide-open apertures. Hence the depth of field is fairly narrow.
If you could increase the lighting then you could reduce the aperture opening and increase the depth of field.
But there is a catch.... light exhibits a property sometimes called "fall off". This is because it follows a rule in physics called the "inverse square law" whereby the intensity of light decreases as the distance from the light source increases. Each time the distance from the light source increases by the square root of 2, the light intensity is cut in half (exactly half... that's not an approximation.) E.g. the amount of light illuminating a subject which is 14.1 feet away from the flash will be exactly half as compared to a subject which was only 10' away. The square root of 2 is approximately 1.41. So 10 x 1.41 = 14.1.
This means if you are photographing two subjects... one is 10' away and the other is about 14' away then the more distant subject will only receive half as much light. Suppose we go to a crazy distance... and we have a flash 100' away. NOW the second person has to be 141' away before they get half as much light. This means two subjects within just a few feet of each will not receive "noticeably" different levels of light.
While placing the flash farther from the two subjects will reduce the difference in illumination on your near vs. far subject, built-in flashes cannot handle these larger distances... they don't have enough power. But an external flash brings more power for you to do this.
Canon's speedlite model numbers actually provide an indication of their power level. If you delete the trailing zero from the model number (e.g. in a 430EX II you'd omit the "0" and get "43"... in a 600EX-RT you'd omit one "0" and get "60', etc.) the number you get is the flash "guide number" in meters. The "guide number" is an indicator of how far the flash can adequately illuminate a subject... but the f-stop and ISO settings you use on the camera will change this. So the "guide number" uses a baseline ISO of 100 and a baseline f-stop of f/1. Of course you don't have an f/1 lens but the baseline is used because it makes the math easy. You divide the guide number by the f-stop you are using. e.g. if you are shooting at ISO 100 and f/8 then you'd divide your guide number (suppose you have a Canon Speedlite 600EX-RT.. that's a guide number of 60 meters) and you'd get 60 ÷ 8 = 7.5 meters. Convert meters to feet and that works out to 24.6 (about 25'). Of course that's at ISO 100. Bump up to ISO 200 and you can multiply that distance by 1.41... or bump up to ISO stops to ISO 400 and you can double the distance (about 50'... and that's at f/8).
I should caveat that this assumes you are pointing the flash directly at the subject and there are no light modifiers in use (no soft-diffusers, you aren't "bouncing" the flash off a ceiling or wall, etc.)
Here's a Youtube video that might help you understand the light fall-off problem.

The Flash doesn't work Correctly when using Photo camera in iOS5

Hi ! I'e updated my iPhone 4 recently (yesterday) and this evening I've use it to make some photo and I've turn on the flash but when I take the photo the flash turn in advance or make a little glow and the photo saved result totally black. It is this bug to someone else? There's a solution ?

I'm having exactly the same problem. The flash goes off, but the resulting photo is completely dark. It seems as though the flash burst is not synchronized with the camera "shutter."
The camera seems to work fine otherwise, and if I record video with the flash on it looks fine. Flash photos looked fine before I upgraded my iPhone to IOS 5 today.
I'm wondering if it's a widespread problem—this is the only other mention of it I could find.

How can I set the flash cursors as my windows cursors?

I would like to set the cursors in Flash Pro CC to be my default windows cursors, since they are so nice.
I've tried looking through the Flash Pro folder on my computer for .png, .gif, .jpg, .jpeg, .ani, and .cur files but none of those searches turned up the Flash cursors.
Could someone help me out?

PSE 7 Welcome Screen startup options and turning off the advertising

The PSE 7 Welcome Screen no longer provides a start-up option for bypassing it and going directly to the Organizer or Editor. In addition, many people are annoyed by the advertising for Photoshop.com on the Welcome Screen and by the constant flashing tips in the lower right corner of the Organizer and Editor.
Here are some workarounds:
Create shortcuts directly to the Organizer and Editor. Use Windows Explorer to navigate to
> C:\Program Files\Adobe\Photoshop Elements 7.0
Find the file PhotoshopelementsEditor.exe, right-click it, and select Create Shortcut. You can then drag the shortcut to your desktop or the Start Menu. Alternatively, you can right click photoshopelementseditor.exe and click Pin To Start Menu, which will place a shortcut on the Windows Start menu. Do the same thing for the file PhotoshopElementsOrganizer.exe.
Turn off the advertising on the Welcome Screen. By turning off the advertising, you can still use the Welcome Screen to get to the Organizer, the Editor, Photoshop.com, and the tutorials. Use Windows Explorer to set the permissions of
>C:\ProgramData\Adobe\Photoshop Elements\7.0\Locale\en_US\Welcome Screen Pods
to deny Read & execute for Everyone (The path is a little different on XP.)
Turn off the flashing tips on the lower right corner of the Organizer and Editor. Use Windows Explorer to set the permissions of
>C:\ProgramData\Adobe\Photoshop Elements\7.0\Locale\en_US\Messaging Pods
to deny Read & execute for Everyone. (The path is a little different on XP.)

I am using XP and the path to the folder is as follows:
C:\Document and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Adobe\Photoshop Elements\7.0\Locale\en_US\Messaging Pods
However, I can't figure out how to "set the permissions". Is this possible in XP? Could someone please elaborate.
I am only interested in changing the tips (in the lower right corner that lead you to photoshop.com) in the Editor, since I do not use the Welcome Screen or Organizer.
Thanks,

What can i do too stop the flashing

i tried everything i need help with my ipod

On the 5th gen. iPod touch, you can take better images in low-light situations by using the built-in camera flash. To turn on the flash, tap the Camera app to launch it. Then tap the Auto button in the top left corner. There, you can either tap On to turn the flash on, Auto to automatically use the flash when needed, or Off to turn the flash off when you don't need it.

How do i shut the flash off on the isight?

how do i shut the flash off? it makes the photos look so washed out,.

If you mean the flash that Photo Booth delivers, see Photo Booth Help. If Help is not working:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=PhotoBooth/3.0/en/18454.html
To turn off the countdown or flash:
• To turn off the countdown, press the Option key while clicking the Shutter button.
• To turn off the flash, press the Shift key while clicking the Shutter button.
• To turn off both the countdown and flash, press Option-Shift while clicking the Shutter button.
it makes the photos look so washed out,.
If you find that you need to keep the flash because NO flash is too dark, adding LOTS more room light while using the flash will help the make the picture not look so overexposed. If STILL too bright, moving a few inches farther away from the screen should also help a bit.

After being connectred to a charging source overnight
Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

2. and the "tell websites not to track me" under Safari - Preference - Privacy.

That box should prevent websites using trackers to log your movements on the Web to benefit advertisers. I have no idea if it does.
Safari can keep your browsing history private. When you turn on private browsing, Safari doesn’t remember the pages you visit, your search history, or your AutoFill information, so your partner cannot see where you have been, but you must also remember to also turn off acceptance of cookies.
In all other respects Private Browsing is not as private as you might think:

"Note that the Private Browsing option does not prevent Safari from collecting cookies (the preference files automatically generated by many websites). The Reset Safari option clears all cookies. If you want to delete only certain ones, choose Preferences from the Safari menu, click the Security tab, and then click Show Cookies. You can select and delete individual cookies from the list that appears. Careful, though — if you’re a frequent web user, this list can be very, very long."
which is itself incomplete, the relevant part being 'If you want to delete only certain ones.
To that end it is useful to have Safari Cookies installed, which is the only cookie manager available for Safari:
http://sweetpproductions.com/safaricookies/
which automatically deletes all cookies not marked as 'favourites' when closing Safari. It does the same for Flash Cookies, but they are subject for themselves:

Typically they are issued from sites or 3rd party sites that contain Adobe Flash content. Since virtually all internet advertising is delivered in Flash, Google/Doudleclick and all other internet advertising companies are sure to be tracking your browsing behavior with Flash cookies. These companies can see you traverse the Internet as you come upon the plethora of sites that contain their embedded advertising. Check out the Wikipedia entry here.
In Mac OS X they are stored in the following location:

The settings for the Flash cookies are stored in:

Flash cookies are also known as 'Zombie Cookies' and are used by a number of firms, including Hulu, MTV, and Myspace. Graham Cluley, senior technology consultant at the internet security firm Sophos, told BBC News that the source of the trouble was Adobe Flash itself, which he called "one of the weirdest programs on the planet".
"I think it's highly unlikely that these large companies have abused Flash cookies - which are different from browser cookies - with malicious intent," he said.
"I think it's much more likely that the vast majority of users are simply oblivious to the bizarre way in which Adobe allows them to configure the software."

Can I turn off the Dashboard to install Adobe Flash update?

Does anyone know how to turn off the Dashboard? Adobe Flash player install asks me to turn off Dashboard during an install process. Any ideas?

Installing the Flash Update on your Mac
This is what I had to do to install it; I'm using OS X 10.9 Mavericks; you may get different results if you're still using Leopard, Snow Leopard, Lion, or Mountain Lion (earlier OSs)
I encourage you to do backup your system, download and install the Free, most current operating system for Macs, Mavericks OS X 9.
At some point, Adobe Flash will offer you the opportunity to update itself. It's a good idea, to do so.
Step 1 will be to download the Update .dmg file, which installs the update.
It will probably be in your Downloads folder; double click on it.
When the folder presents itself in a new Finder window, double-click on it.
At some point in the Install, it will pop up a notice to Shut Down Safari/Opera/Chrome/Firefox (all Browsers). That's easy.
It will also likely insist that you shut down a Dashboard Client. Only the Dashboard Client won't show when you try Force Quit (Option-Command-Escape).
Here's what I had to do, to make it work; there may be a more efficient way, but I didn't find it.
Here's what worked for me, and I'm going to spell it all out the Dummy way, 'cause that's how I need things done for me! : )
Click on an empty space on the Desktop to activate Finder. In the Finder Menu (top) click on the GO tab (top menu) and scroll down to Utilities. Click on the Activity Monitor. In the CPU tab (any of them will work), Click onDock and, holding the Command button (Splat) next to the Space Bar, click on all incidents of Dashboard Client. They're easy to find-- they all have a little grey folder icon to the left of them.
Click on VIEW in the top menu, scroll down to Select Processes, and click on that. The window will simplify and isolate, showing only the selected processes that are keeping you from installing the Flash update.
Then click on the big red stop sign at the top (Quit Process).... (This didn't work for me. No 'Stop' sign.)
Alternately, once you've 'collected' the appropriate files, click on and select each one individually, go up to View in the top menu, scroll down to Quit Process. After a brief pause, it will quit. Quit all of the processes selected.
Make sure everything else is closed and then try to install the Flash Player again. It should work! (Fingers crossed!)
'Always a good idea to Reboot, afterwards, and you should be good to go.

I have an iPhone 4, the flash will not turn off. What can i do? Flash is already off on camera and i deleted the flashligth app.

I have an iPhone 4, the flash will not turn off. What can i do? Flash is already off on camera and i deleted the flashligth app.

Try Hard Reset -> Hold down these two buttons at the same time [Sleep/Wake & Home] the moment you see the Apple Logo 'release those buttons' allow device to reset
If still no resolution -
Restore
[back up information either via iTunes or iCloud if no recent one has been done]
Erase All Content an Settings - FIRST Set up As New - Test Camera Flash
Works? Great! - restore back up
[NOTE - if the flash does not respond again after restoring back up then sorry will have to Erase All Content and Settings Again and then the best part 'Set up As New and manually enter data/information']
If the first time done and after setting up as new and still not resolved - then Id suggest call AppleCare Support or set an appointment up with an Apple Retail Store
Best of luck
