All of the following is assuming that the camera is in Camera mode (where you can take pictures), and NOT in Play mode (where you look t previously taken pictures).
On the back of the camera, just to the right of the screen, there is a circle containing 4 buttons (in the 12, 3, 6, and 9 o'clock positions). The button on the right side of this circle (3 o'clock), which has a lightning bolt icon beside it, controls the flash mode. Each time you press this flash mode button, you cycle to the next of the 5 flash modes available on this camera (see complete list below).
You need to set your camera to the flash "Off" mode (described as #4 below).
If you do not have the LCD display set to display the settings, you will need to press the "DISP" button, which is located below the LCD screen on the back of the camera, to cycle through the display modes. There are three display modes when taking pictures: Standard (live preview with no info), Detailed (live preview with camera setting info displayed over top of the live preview), and LCD off (no live preview, black screen). You want to be in the "Detailed" display mode. You will know when to stop pressing the DISP mode when there is a live preview of what the camera is pointed at in the LCD screen, as well as icons representing various camera modes are displayed on top of the live preview picture, including the flash mode icon.
Once you are in the proper display mode, look at the LCD for the icons as described below, as you press the flash mode button and cycle through, stop when the flash "OFF" icon is displayed (icon that looks like a circle with a diagonal slash through a lightning bolt).
This camera has 5 flash modes:
1) Auto - will show in the LCD with an icon that looks like a lightning bolt with a small letter "A". In this mode the flash fires automatically as required by the light level. If the light is bright there will be no flash, if the light is dim, there will be a flash.
2) Red-Eye Reduction Auto - will show in the LCD with an icon that looks like an eye. In this mode, the red-eye reduction lamp fires with each shot, automatically adjusting the intensity to suit lighting levels and otherwise works like "Auto", see above.
3) On - will show in the LCD with an icon that looks like a lightning bolt. In this mode, a flash fires with every shot.
4) Off - will show in the LCD with an icon that looks like a circle with a diagonal slash through a lightning bolt. in this mode, the flash will not fire.
5) Slow-Synchro - will show in the LCD with an icon that looks like a person with a star above their shoulder. In this mode the flash timing is adjusted to slow shutter speeds. This reduces the chance that the background will be dark when shots are taken at night or in rooms with artificial lighting. The red-eye reduction lamp fires with each shot.
