The Flash does not work, How do you activate that feature in the camera?

Hold the camera up as if to take a pic and there is a Circle with FUNC.SET inside it to the right of the screen. On the far right of that Circle is a lightning bolt like image. Click this and you will get a screen message to turn the flash on or off. The camera has to be on to do this.

If you want forced flash, turn dial to P, press the flash symbol on the dial and select the flash symbol from the 4 choices that appear.

By default the flash is automatic. It might be helpful, as the others say, to go to the 'thunder' sign on the Function's Circle on the back of the camera to set it and turn it on. If the flash doesn't work turned on, then it is a manufacturing problem and you should contact the seller and/or Cannon.

I had to push the button by the flash to get it to pop up, then take the picture. It does not POP automatically.If it doesn't work then, I Don't know what the problem is.

Set everything up (flash connected to NPT-04 receiver, everything turned on), and then hit the test button that's on top of the transmitter. Does the flash fire? If it does, then the transmitter is talking to the receiver, and the receiver is talking to the flash. So the problem is the camera isn't talking to the transmitter. You didn't say what camera you're using. On my Sony cameras, "wireless" is for using the pop-up flash to control and fire other flashes. You can do wireless TTL, and use the pop-up flash to be the "commander". That's what "wireless" flash mode is. Obviously that's not what you're doing. So change it to rear or fill flash mode, and see if that works.

I believe you don't. This flash is E-TTL and compact camera doesn't use it (it requires a SLR camera). I use it in a G9 and G12 in full manual mode.

I set the flash on manual mode. Is that what you are asking, if not please clarify question.

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?

Odd. I doubt it's a defective unit. Try manual mode to see if that works. Also. check that you haven't added some underexposure flash compensation on the camera or the flash.

You have to pop it open for the flash to work. Actually have not used the flash much.

This is not my area of experience, with this remote. It doesn't have a button for it, so I doubt it will work a flash. All the other remote triggers work well.

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

I'm getting error99 due to the flash. If I put it into no flash mode the camera operates fine, just the pix are crap.

Ingrid, this is a smart flash that only requires you to push the flash release button to open the flash on top of the camera. Then you can select one of three flash modes by depressing the flash (lighting) icon on the menu function. If you will look on page 38 of the manual, it explains how to do this. It works very well.

Actually just looking on the boards here I found out the answer. I had it set to Burst Mode in the settings because I was trying out all the features the week before. So even on the IA setting, it would not take photos with flash. I am sure that was somewhere in the manual or it might just be a known photography thing.

There is a switch on the back of the camera towards the top, above the display screen, if you switch it the flash will pop up and then it should work since there is a sensor on it, and if it doesn't work right away I noticed that if you pull the switch again (while the flash is up) you can basically toggle the flash on and off while it's in the up position. The flash on this camera is not exposed, it is a pop up, so unless the flash was up to begin with and still wasn't working, you probably just had your flash in the off position. For a better explanation you can take a look in your Nikon Manual, go to the index, and search flash. There should be all you need to know right there. Hope I helped :)

As far as I know the camera does not need to be in any particular setting for the flash to fire. Make sure you can fire the flash independednt of the camera, that is by pressing the button on one of the triggers manually.

Looking at the front of the camera,it's a pop-up flash unit located on right side top section.Works automatic or manual whichever way you have it set.

Thanks very much for the info., Les. I actually returned my camera when even Panasonic tech support couldn't fix the problem, but I later learned it was not a defective camera. I'll be buying it again in the near future as I think it's a great camera, and I'll be saving your message in an attempt to figure it all out. Also, too bad there's no flash button on the camera and that you have to go to the menu to fiddle with it. That's weird! (and too bad it doesn't pop up automatically, like my Sony) THANKS AGAIN!
