The flash in Auto mode does not flash, even in a completely dark room. Any suggestions?

I had the same problem trying to use the camera in auto mode. It popped up, i think every time i turned the camera on in the auto mode, but it wouldn't fire, even in a completely dark room. Yes, the flash was set to auto. It seemed to work fine in other modes. Every camera i've run across fires the flash automatically when used in auto so i figured there was something wrong with the one i recieved.

Click on the lightening bolt on the back dial. Then scroll and select auto or on (flashes every time) on the flash menu. Also check that your battery is charged.

The flash is located on top of the camera, to the left as the screen faces you. When you set the flash to auto, does the flash pop up? What mode are you using? iauto?

I have experienced the same thing. When on the iAuto mode, the camera is very reluctant to use the flash, even when it is popped up and ready. If I didn't already lose the shot opportunity, I'd change to one of the other modes (like Aperture Priority) and try again, and it'd go off then.

You aren't supposed to have flash turned on in camera, leave it off, test the light by pressing it manually. Typically doesn't work on full auto.

HII bought 2 sets and have the same problem. There is a button on the back you can push to change the setting, but I think there are a million settings to go through. I seemed to push the correct number of times for one set and it is on without flashing so I know it works, but the other one I never go to work and I heva tried everything. Good luck.

Push the button at the back of the light. The problem for me was the light only had the one mode, constant blinking. Good luck.

I haven't had that issue. You can adjust the flash mode and that should solve the issue.

Can you provide more details? What is your camera? Did you try mounting a flash directly or wireless trigger?

No light. In low light settings the lack of a flash/light source the still photos are grainy.

flash works fine for me, picture looks like if it had been taken with enough light.

I don't know of any flash issues, I have a white case though and it doesn't really seem to affect the flash? Then again, I don't take too many indoor/night photos so I may not have noticed. I'm sorry I couldn't be more help :(

You can force the flash while out of "auto" mode. You have a programmer with several option for the flash. It's really simple to use.

`I have experienced this as well, especially with inside photos, no flash comes out too dark, flash is too light. There is an adjustment to the amount of brightness on the flash, just haven't "played" with the camera enough to be proficient at it.

Mine has never flashed. There is s slight pause when it's first turned on---but that is so short that it doesn't bother me at all.

Touch menu button, then touch the outer ring where the flash indicator it located. When you have selected the mode the camera mode has an automatic flash. This should fix the problem. Each Mode has different flash modes. If this doesn't work for you then it may need factory service. Hope this helps.

Flash can be set to automatic (based on lighting) or you can turn it off/on manually.

Maybe it is on a setting where flash is never used like macro, or long exposure. I don't recall the other settings where there's no flash but there are several of them.

It may just be the camera, I'm not really sure. I've used mine for over a year now and I've never experienced that problem. I know that they are infrared, therefore they will not flash. But mine trigger great at night. Hope this was helpful some. Good luck.
