Here are some simple things to try first for a camera that won't take a picture when the shutter button is pressed, or with an inoperative flash. They won't work for every case, but they're worth a try. (Hint, make sure that all the screws around the perimeter of the case are present and firmly seated.)
Green light flashing means that the camera is reading the memory card. If it keeps on flashing and flashing means that the camera is trying to read the card and not able to. This means that there is something wrong with the card. You should stick your card into the computer and transfer all your data from the card on to the computer. after all your photos are safe on your computer, put your card back in to the camera. turn the camera on, press the menu button, navigate to the menu that looks like a wrench and in that menu select "Format Memory Card" this will erase and format the card to how it should be. after that, you should be able to view your photos normally. If that doesn't work your card may be faulty and you may have to purchase another memory card.
Note: the camera might not display photos that you downloaded from you computer on to the card, cameras often only display photos that you took with the camera.
�� When the menu is displayed on the LCD monitor,
pressing the LEFT button makes the cursor shift to
the left tab.

Movie clip mode.
2. Press the Flash button until the desired flash mode indicator displays on the
LCD monitor.
3. A flash mode indicator will be displayed on the LCD monitor.
Use the correct flash to suit the environment.
HI there check the battery first. Red light blinking in working mode when the battery not having enough power for flashing. So i suggest you charged the battery fully or if its old then replaced it. Thnaks.
The flash has been working fine until last night when I tried to take a picture and the flash was set to auto. When I press the button the little red light beside the flash sign lights up, but the camera does not take the photo. When I set it to flash mode, it still won't take a photo. When I turn off the flash, then it does. What could be the problem? Is it in the settings?
TIggertigger, allthough batteries have improved alot they still eventualy die, by the sounds of this proublem the battery has died for what ever reasen, try getting a new battery. If this does not help try a filmwere upgrade, for insturctions on how to do this please contact canon.
Hello,
One quick question. Is the camera taking photos?? when you try to transfer the photos to computer , are the photos fine or there are some Black photos??
Sounds like a burn out, or a bad lamp. The flash is subjected to a huge jolt of electricity each time it fires, and breaks easily, especially when hot. If you are taking many flash photos, you should stop after 15 or so, to let the flash unit cool.
Good luck with Casio, if you are still under warranty. It will probably mean mailing them the camera for fixing, or replacing. Sometimes you can take it back to where you bought it for repair.
It sounds to me like you are not waiting for the camera to charge the flash when turning the camera on or between shots. It seems you are using 1700mAh batteries and most modern digital cameras are better off using 2500mAh batteries. Your camera was released in September 2006 so it is considered "modern". With 1700mAh batteries, your flash (warm-up) recycle time time will be rather long or the amperage may not be enough to fully charge the flash unit. I highly recommend Duracell 2500mAh rechargeable batteries.
