A friend of mine says her flash works while taking burst shots, but mine doesn't. Any ideas? I'm new to Samsung btw.

i just tried and cant get it to work.. but i did find a workaround
if you enable the torch/flashlight then open the camera and use burst shot the light will stay on
you can turn the flashlight on by using the widget built into your device

Doesn't work on mine, I figured out I had to use the flash light. I think she is either wrong or we are missing something as I even tried setting the flash to just on instead of auto and it didn't work in burst. Mary

Yeah, I tried it just as instructed and used the torch light. The pictures were still dark. Didn't work for me either. She must not have been taking pictures in the dark like I'm trying to take.

uMMM, I never tried to do burst mode in the dark, the camera is way too slow to focus and take a picture for that.
and even though I have the Flash set to ON, it does not trigger in burst mode for me.

The flash symbol shows as on. I have tried touching the screen first, but the camera doesn't seem to be in synch with the flash. Sometimes the flash comes on first, then goes away before the pics are taken. I think burst shot is only for lighted situations, because the torch light being on doesn't do anything for the pic either.
