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.

-   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 have the same problem. Flash pops up but does not fire in any mode. Any ideas beyond sending it back to Sony for repairs?-   papabear3
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

WHENEVER I CHANGE TO "SET UP" AND GO TO "CF CARD TOOL", "ACCESS" WOULD ALWAYS POPS-UP ON THE SCREEN AND THE RED LIGHT WOULD TURN ON FOR ABOUT 10-30 SECONDS EVERYTIME I WOULD SCROLL DOWN TO "CREATE REC FOLDER". THIS WOULD OCCUR 2 OR 3 TIMES EVERYTIME I TRIED TO TOGGLE THE SWITCH TO ACCESS ANOTHER FOLDER. IT'S TRULY FRUSTRATING!!

What are the best settings for nightclub action photos without getting so much noise? With 400 or 800 ISO the noise is really bad but it wasn't like that before I reset it. How can I fix this?
