Why does using the flash indoors on my Kodak camera make the picture darker?
I have a Kodak CX7430. I usually get great pictures. But, sometimes when I am indoors, the automatic flash makes the pictures darker. I have tried landscape mode for objects that are far away (so that the flash doesn't bounce off a closer object), but that doesn't really help. If I turn the flash off, the picture comes out fuzzy. I have seen this occur on other people's Kodak cameras, so I know that my camera is not broken. Has anyone else had this problem and/or have suggestionsabout what I can do? Thanks!
Answer:
Actually the landscape mode sets the Autofocus to infinity. Landscape also turns off the Autofocus frame on your electronic viewfinder. It can be quite helpful in doing quick candids in bright sunlight without having to worry if your subject is in the focus sensor or not. It is also useful for shooting through glass.
Anyway, I also have a Kodak, a DX7630, that is miserable at accurate indoor flash pictures. The exposure is extremely inconsistent. I have found that if you put it in the "P", Auto ISO, and then use flash exposure comp to compensate for the camera errors I am happier.
You might try indoor pictures without the flash, but this time use a tripod and trip the shutter with the self-timer. If your subject is not moving, you will be awarded a very sharp, natural light picture. Be sure your WB is on auto.
Kodak cameras have awesome glass, but boring color rendition, and, most annoying of all, very inconsistent exposure calculations and control.
