The camera won't turn on!

Hi all Last week when i was taking a photo i accidently turned on the flash mode on my camera. Suddenly the camera just went dead and now it refuses to turn on. I changed the batteries it still doesn't work! Strangely enough, the camera still works in webcam mode when connected to a pc and i can also view the content of it's memory. I would appreciate if anyone could help me. Thanks in advance

SOURCE: camera does not turn on?!?!

I presume you aren't using a memory card - because if you are, the pics shouldn't vanish when you change the batteries. BTW, don't suppose you can help with the problem I posted?!

Pictures that I take come out very white/bright. you cannot tell details. I have changed batteries and have the setting on auto.

Double-check your flash settings. You mentioned the camera is in Auto mode, but the flash has separate settings from the camera's shooting mode. With the camera in shooting mode AUTO check the Flash settings (Auto, Red-Eye Reduction, Fill-In, Off) It may be set to 'fill' causing your photos to be too bright.

Also, depending on how close you are to your subject the flash may not be needed. Using the flash when too close to your subject (less then 3 ft.) will cause bright/white photos. Turn the flash OFF if you are taking macro or photos closer then 3ft.

If neither of these fix your problem, turn the flash mode OFF, and camera shooting mode to AUTO and in a naturally well lit area, take a photo, if the photo is still too bright, you may have something mechanically wrong with your camera.

Nikon S210 flash not working

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?

Nikon Coolpix L3 Trouble

I had this same issue. Here's what I found on it in the Coolpix L3 manual:

That hand icon is the "camera shake" indicator, and it will pop up when the flash is off. The other day, I turned off my flash, but somehow it got stuck in that mode and wouldn't respond when I clicked the button to turn the flash back on. Without being able to turn on the flash, anytime I tried to take a photo in regular mode, the camera was warning me, with the hand, that there wasn't enough light and any photo I took would be blurry due to the long shutter speed.

Knowing what to look for now, I put the camera into video mode, then rapid-fire mode, and finally back into regular (green) mode. And suddenly, I was able to click the flash button and turn the flash back on. So that's all it was. Just stuck on my end. You may have had a similar situation, or your flash may be off and you can adjust it.

I hope this helps.

Use of macro digital feature

hi,let me just inform u that the macro mode is only for outdoors.So on the side of the camera u will find a sliding switch.Just slide it to the opposite direction to turn off the macro mode.Since u wanted to take pictures of jewelry pieces,turn on the flash if u have one and then take a closeup shot with good lighting conditions.If its too bright then use only the flash,if u r not satisfied with the quality then use only lights and then take a pic.Still face any prob plz get back to me.

Pictures nearly black (overexposed )

Hi! It's weird that 1/2 of your photos were too dark. You didn't mention about the flash. Eventhough it is on auto mode, at night you still need to turn on the flash manually. Normally, it is a curve arrow pointing downward, you need to point your mode selector there. What brand of camera are you using though?

DMC-FX01 Flash Does Not Work

In what mode are you trying to take photos? The flash will not work in certain modes (see the manual), for example the night mode. Or you accidentialy turned on sequential/burst mode (this is mode where camera takes more pictures on one shutter button press). Flash cannot be used in this mode also. I don't have FX01, but on FZ8 the camera will show flash icon in red, but will take the picture anyway without flash being triggered. The second problems seems like enabled power-saving mode, but those 5 seconds are too short for this. But anyway you can check in SETUP menu the settings for power-save. Also maybe the flash is broken and camera noticed it... I don't think this could be a software problem. Either problem with the flash, but more probably just setting of wrong mode.
