force the flas to flash in daylight

Just like the topic sounds, thats it. I was shoot subject with sunset to back of person. Which really gave great lighting, but the camera was seeing the setting sun and would not flash. I'm sure their is a setting bu I can't find it. Using the eos rebel.

You have to get out of Green Box mode.
Switch to Av and press the button on the side to pop up the flash.

go to manual mode. and turn the flash on manually. and start playing with it from there. lots of failing to get it done right.

What camera were you using? Were you trying to use an onboard flash? The answers you were given will work if you're using most Canon DSLR's, but the first methods cedes more control to the camera and the 2nd requires more experimentation and a better knowledge of the camera's controls.

When asking a question it's very useful to include details about your equipment and settings and what effect you were trying to achieve. Additionally, an example photo can provide a great deal of additional information.

Yea green mode... Using a canon rebel pop up flash. Hey I just discovered something I should read the manual. But it does not give much detail.

Take a look at this site, you might find it interesting..

Great web site thanks
This is great for chiildren as well

you might want to order a book too. that way you can take it with you, and look things up as you go. i have the xti version, and it helped me out a lot since the owners manual was so cryptic.
