turn on fill flash

SD600 - Can I turn on the flash for a fill in auto mode when I have a lot of back light. Also, any experience with lens error?

Sure. Press the [Lightning bolt/flash] button to switch between flash modes. The selected flash mode appears on the LCD monitor. Your choices will be: Auto - The flash fires automatically as required by the light level; Auto with red-eye reduction - The flash fires automatically as required by the lighting level, and the red-eye reduction lamp fires each time the main flash fires; Flash on with red-eye reduction - The flash and red-eye reduction lamp fire with each shot; Flash on - The flash fires with every shot;
Flash off - The flash will not fire; Slow Synchro - 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. (Use of a tripod is recommended.)

I had tried scrolling through the flash options before, as this is similar to a nikon digital camera I used to own. However, there was never a "Flash On" option (which I'm assuming is just the lightning bolt symbol). Anyway, I don't have the camera with me here to check but I'll try again. Maybe I missed it.

You would probably need to go to the Manual mode for this camera. Canon A-series camera does not have the "flash on" mode for Auto, not so sure about IXUS. If not then manual, or any of the other preset scene modes.
