Cannon S400 Q

[David L]

When the camera turns on it automatically has the red eye flash option on,
is there any way to set it to no flash?

TIA,

Dave

Yes. Press the flash button (the one with a lightning symbol at 3 o'clock on
the circle of controls on the back) until the icon on the display shows a
lightning symbol with a line through it.

Sorry i will repost that Q, i meant is there a way for no flash to be the
automatic setting when you turn the camera on?

Sorry for that confusion,

Dave

I can't speak for cannon, but on the olympus camera, you can set it for
whatever you want, and when you turn it back on, it will go to default
setting, unless you also turn the reset features off when you make your
other adjustment. Once you turn the reset all to off, you should be all
set...

hope this helps..

The point of auto mode is to cover the widest range of needs. It is
preferable that the settings you used 2 weeks ago when you last
used the camera aren't persistent. That's what the "manual" mode is for.
