Flashing digital display

Regardless on the camera being in the "Lock" or "On" the digitral user display, mode selector etc. is continually falshing. The camera will not function at all. The batteries have been changed and they were even removed and the camera left over night. Any help would be very much appreciated, my daughters Photography school project awaits a simple solution, fingers crossed.

Hello, depending on the class he is taking you may find that a normal digital camera will suffice. Most camera classes and courses now use digital, unfortunately the old film cameras are becoming a thing of the past. If your son is a mad keen photographer then I would consider investing in his future and buy him a good quality digital SLR. I hope this is somewhat helpful.

How to use falsh on camera
The flash is only for still photos, not for videos. The flash will not fire when you're in the macro mode. Full instructions for using the flash begin on page 13 of the manual.

The flash won't work under any setting I find.
Try changing it to single picture mode, if cammera is in burst mode the falsh is forced off.

How can I turn the flash off on a cannon power shot a400 camera
Your menus will have options to be able to turn off the flash in certain modes.
The camera also has external buttons which will turn the flash on or off. Read your user manual.
The button which has the SET inside has four selectors. The right selector has a flash on/off button to turn the flash on or off. The flash usually will flash when set to flash all the time and not in AUTO mode. The AUTO mode may not allow you to turn off the flash. You probably have to choose another mode to allow the flash to be turned off.
If you do not have a user manual, here is a link to a free pdf download: User manual Canon A400

Can't select Continuous nor BSS in Set-up for User 1,2, or 3
I had the same problem and just figured it out. Firstly, BSS won't work if NR is set to on. Turn it off and that should work.

Secondly, Continuous mode can not be shot in the RAW or HI image settings. Set the camera to one of the lower settings and give that a try. If that doesn't work, follow the instructions for updating to the latest firmware here:

That did the trick for me. I believe the problem has to do with the new memory card I started using. Good luck.

This happened to me too!
Turn the dial to setup, push the menu button & select reset all. This will restore the defaults & let you use the flash again.

A friend recently gave me a Minolta Maxxum 330si they weren't using. I've replaced all the batteries, including the small data battery in the back panel and the main battery. When I put the main battery in, however, the data panel (next to the "mode" button) just flashes with all the options (modes, etc) and the frame counter says 6. No matter how many times I reset the camera (by taking the battery in and out) the same thing happens. Is there anything else I can do to fix this?
