    Cybershot H1 flash Problem

    I dont know if it came with the camera this way, but when im trying to take action pics the flash refuses to go on, I dont know if your familiar with the Sony Cybershot H1, but you press a button on a little pannel and it shows a flash symbol, but in Action mode it doesnt go on, it wont go on. I dont know if its something wrong with my camera its an 05 I think and hasnt been abuse but it has been used a little bit. Tryed changing batteries to see if that would work and the flash works in other settings. This is for mountain biking so it has to be on the action setting. Thanks for any help, but if the flash doesnt work looks like ill be selling this camera and getting a different one cuz this is just crazy


    Thanks

    Eric

    hi.

    the action setting just tells the camera to shoot with a fast shutter - the aperture and ISO are secondary considerations. This will give you less blurred photos of fast action. Not sure why your flash doesn't want to work in action mode.

    Try shooting in S mode, set the shutter speed to 200 or 250. Flash should work, and results will be the same.
