Problem with flash on Olympus Camedia C-150, help required

Hi, can anyone help me. I have a Canon Olympus Camedia Digital Camera C-150(E) The problem i am having is that no matter what light i shoot in even full sun the camera automatically uses the flash and all my pictures are dark. Its driving me nuts at the moment. Anyone tell me whats wrong. Thanks in advance

Re: Flash:

Check the flash settings. You likely have the flash "ON" instead of "AUTO". When set to "ON" (or whatever the always on mode is called) the flash will always fire. This is usefull for contrasty broad daylight shots where the flash can fill in the shadows lowering the contrast of the image.

Re: Dark pictures.

Check the shutter speed/aperture setting (if the camera has one) or the exposure compensation setting. These might cause dark photos.

Also, look in the instruction manual under the trouble shooting section for further clues if needed.

Just FYI,...

You have an Olympus Camera...

It is a totally different company from Canon....
