My DSC-T100 won't allow any changes to the flash setting.

A lot of watch manufacturers use the American style date layout of Month/Day/Year. Try this. Looking at the watch press and hold the bottom right SIDE button for 3 seconds. It should enter setting mode where the seconds display will flash. Press the Right FACE button once. It should switch to the Hour display flashing. Press the same button again to go to minutes and them again to go to the date display.
Repeated pressing of the top Right SIDE button changes the numbers upwards, (1,2,3,4), and the Left FACE button changes the numbers downwards, (4,3,2,1). Press the Bottom right SIDE button once to finish and go back to the normal display.

My Sony Steady Shot DSC-S950 won't flash. I have pressed the flash setting several times as suggested in blogs to no avail.

If you have your flash set to "red-eye flash", it will fire "pre-flashes" to prevent redeye in your subjects. You can turn off that feature and set it for normal flash. As far as shutter delay is concerned, all you need to do is press the shutter button half-way and allow the camera to lock in the focus (it will beep) and then you can re-compose the picture and press the rest of the way when the moment is right.

i think i had the same problem, if u press the home button and then press shooting then hit the flash button on the right hand side it should change the mode.

Glad ur problem solved !

kindly rate my response WELL in system

Set camera on AUTO (green mark) on dial jog, now you can set flash on desired option.

First Press the MENU BUTTON:
Now you will see: Setup>
Use the directional buttons (big round button) on your camera to navigate throught the menus .
RIGHT ARROW PULLS UP > CAMERA 1 MENU and you will have a yellow highlite on the left side.
use the down arrow to select and highlite>SETUP FOLDER #2,
When you have that highlighted push the > RIGHT ARROW to move the HIGHLITE to the next selection.
>USE THE DOWN ARROW and highlite> CLOCK SET > when that is yellow>use the right arrow to get into it and select> OK PRESS ENTER (the little round button inside the arrow buttons.
AND YOU ARE IN THE CLOCK/DATE/TIME SETUP MODE MAKE YOUR CHANGES AND SELECT OK and press the enter button and you are done. Just press the Menu button to exit the menue

As you haven't said which shooting mode the problem occurs under (e.g. Auto, Scene etc) I can only suggest that you try different shooting modes to gain access to changing the Flash settings. Hope this helps.

for anyone who wants to know how i solved my problem with the flash saying it cannot be changed...

If you go into the camera settings; look under rec mode. It might be in "burst" mode. Flash will only work while in "normal" mode.

The Rectangles with a 'M' in it is the Multi-Burst mode. U must select 'Normal' Mode. Try this:
In the Autoshoot mode --> press menu --> Change back to 'Normal'.
You will now get rid of the rectangles with the 'M', and you can change your flash settings.
