Question about Pentax *ist DS Digital Camera

Flash stopped working

One day I tried to take a picture but was unable to because the flash had malfunctioned. The flash never charges, and since I have it set not to take a picture while the flash is charging, nothing happens. I emailed Pentax and they think my flash shorted. I was wondering if there is anything I can do to fix this?

No DIY fix for this. It will have to go back to Pentax or their agent. The likely cost of doing this could be well on the way to the price of a new camera.

CAMERA WILL NOT TAKE PICTURES RIGHT AWAY. WE HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL THE RED LIGHT STOPS FLASHING ON THE TOP. NEVER USE TO DO THIS. AND WE ARE UNABLE TO GET IT TO FLASH ALSO.

Try to turn off flash and take picture if it works that means flash unit defective.

While taking pictures, but no flash and unable to take pictures

Do you have the auto flash icon on? Or red eye reduction? My advice is press left on the D-pad until you get a flash icon. If not, posibly a fault.

Adobe flash player

try to uninstall the adobe flash player installed on your computer and try to clean your computer using tuneup utilities or such. what you have to do is get rid of anything that is related to adobe on your system first. then restart your computer and later...re-install adobe flash player. this might be due to a malfunctioned program driver issue on your computer.

Flash is not working

The flash icon appears in the upper left corner of display or it appears as circled flash icon? If flash is open and appears a circled icon, then there’s a malfunction contact that don’t communicate to the camera that the flash is open. Your camera needs service! Be sure the upper part of the flash is unfolded, pointing directly in front of the camera (not downward), because the sensor is just in this second folder. If the icon is not circled, press the right arrow until only the lightning symbol appears (forced flash). Try a shot! If the flash doesn’t pops, then your camera needs servicing (burned or broken lamp or other malfunctions).

Did you try to reinitialize? Setup menu go down to the third Setup#1 menu and make sure you click OK to reinitialize. That's what the manual said.

I have taken a lot of photos with my camera. It may just be that it is getting old, but the photos are starting to come out as really "grainy" More noticably the background in most images. It isn't as sharp as sharp as it used to be.

I have just had my Ist DL2 camera cleaned. Today is the first time I started taking photos with it however it is not recording any images. The monitor screen remains black and on the bottom lefthand corner there is a bin icon with delete beside it. Nothing has been recorded on my card. Every attempt I have made to photograph something is always blank. What could they have done to my camera when they cleaned it. I did contact them and they said they do not interfere with any of the cameras mechanism, so what has happend and how can it be resolved. I have a function to go to on Saturday and need my camera.
