A:AnswerFlash is not automatic and you manually have to pop it up so unless you put the flash up, camera will not flash anything. There is no viewfinder so you really cannot turn the screen off since you wont be able to see what you are shooting. That is about as discrete as you can get with this camera.
A:AnswerUnfortunately not, which is a nuisance because the set-up instructions for the wi-fi functions are overly confusing. I think we will end up having to buy a cable.
