Simple, press the button which raises the flash, it should fire for every image while it's raised.

If you are in fully auto mode you may need to point the camera into a dark area or with the lens cap momentarily else the camera may not raise the flash, even if you press the flash raise button. My 3300 is a bit picky about raising the flash in fully auto mode if it thinks it isn't needed.

A tip, if the flash is overpowering the lighting is to drape a piece of white paper tissue over the flash, it will defuse the flash and cut it's brightness so it's a less intense pinpoint of light. A tab of sticky tape will hold it in place if needed.


At a school reunion (Jan's) I was wandering round taking impromptu shots with a serviette wedged over the flash on my D300 ...while holding a plate of food in the other hand. Caused a great deal of amusement...and got lots of spontaneous smiles.
