Wanaka question

[Charl]

Can one disable the camera flashes in the crowd?

No they are part of that model and dont have a on off switch as far as im aware ...

This is something which amuses me, especially at school plays etc -- I want to stand up and yell 'Do you people ever read the manual? What's the range of your flash -- 4 or 5 metres tops? Wadaya think is gonna happen here, somehow your flash will develop super powers and reach out all that way to light up your kid?' I think of the FS crowd flashes as kind of a MS homage to stupid people...

I did think it might be controlled by Advanced Animations, but it seems not. Makes sense, reading the manual would be considered advanced, turning the flash off would seem quite simple.
