Sony DSC-F828 Faulty Flash




By colin924 on Aug 08, 2008

Flash will not work under any settings. The pop-up works and the indicator light works but it does not flash.Everything else on the camera seems to be fine. Any ideas?
Regards.

- Thanks Charlie, I did wonder about the hot shoe and whether to buy an external flash unit. I don't think I will now. I like the camera very much and I am tempted to buy a good second hand one on eBay.

Same Problem

Apr 21, 2009

-   Hi, I have the same problem. I bought a used camera on ebay and didn't notice the problem right away as I don't often use the falsh. To solve the problem I bought another DSC F828 on ebay. This one came with a scratched lens. Now I'm trying to figure out how to merge the two and get one good camera. Any ideas would be appreciated! Sony Service wants a minimum of $280 for one camera before they say anything so I'm not inclined to follow that route. Life is good, Bob-   watrousr

I had the same problem. My flash of DSC-F828 was not working. Just reset the camera and that will do the job. FOr resetting open the batery panel and there is a small reset hole. reset with a pen or pointed object.

Try resetting the camera. It is next to the battery release. I had a similar issue and posted help. No remedey. So, after praying about this issue, I was lead to power it down and eliminate all the power by taking out the battery push the power button and many others. I found the reset button pushed it and it is all working now. The praying for a solution was key. Praise Jesus. DRD
