How to Repair an M753 Camera Flash
The Kodak M753 camera supports several flash modes. If the flash mode doesn't match your current lighting conditions, it may appear not to work. Heavy shadows indoors or outdoors as well as nighttime lighting all pose challenges for the flash. The flash-to-subject distance in relation to the zoom position also affects whether the flash will work properly. Consider these factors and your flash will support you when a photographic opportunity comes around.

Tips & Warnings
Use the Close-up picture-taking mode instead of using a flash when subjects are at a close range, such as two feet or closer. Turn the “Picture” mode dial to the "Close-up" icon, which looks like a flower, to select this setting.
Use the Backlight SCN mode in addition to using the Fill flash mode when subjects are in front of a lighted area or in a shadow. Turn the Mode dial on the top of the camera and select "SCN." Navigate using the directional arrow buttons and select "Backlight." Press "OK." Alternatively, select "Candle light" to take pictures of subjects in dim lighting, or "Sunset" to take pictures of sunset color-depth variations.
Frequent use of the flash and viewing pictures on the LCD screen will quickly deplete the battery.
Use only Kodak Li-ion rechargeable batteries to minimize the risk of fire or an explosion.
