How to turn off the flash on a panasonic dmc-fs5

SOURCE: Panasonic DMC-FX07 Digital Camera won't turn on.

Check your batteries, but otherwise it could be a power board. It could cost between $90 - $125 to replace the board

I had same problem. I just got the camera working again. Not sure how it exactly happened but while I had it on and it was zooming in and out, I changed the mode and tried to take a pic. It would ask me to turn off and on again which I would do quickly and change the mode to something else like "portrait" or "landscape", etc. and try to take a pic. After a few times it stopped and focused on something. So not very scientific but doing that must have kicked it in the head or something.

Move the slide switch on the side of the card.

My TZ5 has developed exactly the same problem. I took it to DK Audio Services at Horley,Surrey,RH8 9GA. who repair cameras for Panasonic and was told by the receptionist that although the camera works with the flash off at present it will eventually pack up altogether. She suggested that when I get the quote I phone Panasonic on 08705 3577 357 to try and get them to pay for the repair, it seems it is a known problem! My camera is just over a year old!!

Testimonial: "Thanks, for your comment. Its good to know I´m not the only having this problem with the camera."
