The Nikon D5600 is a DSLR camera with easy-to-use advanced features that make it perfect for beginner and professional photographers alike. With its compact design, this model can be conveniently carried around to capture amazing shots in any situation. One of the most powerful functions on the Nikon D5600 is Flash photography, which allows you to take breathtakingly vivid photos at night or indoors by using the built-in flash system. In this guide we will show you how to easily turn your flash On and Off so you can enjoy beautiful still moments in every type of environment.

How to turn on flash

When using your Nikon D5600, it is easy to turn the flash on and off. To start, press and hold down the “Flash” button located directly above the viewfinder. You will then be given three options - Auto Flash Off, Fill Flash On/Off or Red Eye Reduction On/off - from which you can choose as desired for each shot. The ‘Auto’ option allows your camera to decide when a flash should fire for optimal conditions of light; Turning this setting off does not produce perfect results in all situations but may be ideal if you want more natural lighting effects with less harsh shadows that are caused by direct flashes. Once finished take care to remember turning back 'Fill' or 'Red-eye' mode depending upon your preference before moving onto other shots!

Double check that all other flash options are set as desired, then hit OK once complete. Your new setting should now reflect with no flash output when taking photos! It is also important to remember to turn it back ‘on' before returning your camera back into auto shooting or scene modes since some require a bit of fill-in light (of course depending what kind of shot you want!).

A green light will appear next to this command when enabled. To disable flashing with initialised functions press down the same ‘MODE’ button again until this setting is indicated by an orange coloured symbol instead of green one.
