60d internal flash - Canon EOS 60D Digital Camera

Check that use of internal flash is not disabled in the menus.

Canon 60D Pop-up flash not working,
Ck to see if the Flash tube in the pop-up flash is Burnt or cracked, I can fix ether One for Ya!

Possibly the spring that raises it is broken, or there is foreign matter in the hinge. Can it be raised manually ?

On the hot shoe when you fit a flashgun it pushes two tabs down to disengage the pop-up flash some times the tabs don't fully return after flashgun removal

Check the metal tabs inside the notable rails as they need to touch the upper part of the rails to allow built in flash to work
Use a micro screwdriver to push the tabs up to the rail
GENTLY as that was what was wrong with my canon digital body

• is your settings set to manual ? if you are set to manual mode and the flash does not pop out try pressing the flash button located near the EOS 60d label
• if the flash won't pop out after pressing the button try to follow the steps on this you tube link

How to fix the This menu cannot be displayed External flash is attached...

you have to take it out of auto mode to have any control over flash, try putting it in P mode then press the flash button which is next to the flash. if this doesn't work, take it back to where you got it from to take a closer look.

Hi, What external flash did you use on your Canon 60D? The internal flash will not automatically pop up if in the "Creative Zone" it will pop up with the button in the creative zones (M, AV, TV and P) it will not pop up with the button if you are in the the full auto mode (that's the little green box mode) but, should pop up automatically if required. The flash should pop up automatically in the basic zone for Portrait, close up and night photography, the button won't activate (pop up) the flash. Also the internal flash will not pop up if there is an accessory in the hot shoe. Again what external flash was it you used and did it flash?

I encountered this same issue on new 60D. There is a micro switch under a guide blade in the shoe on the right side. Mine was not stuck down but bent just enough downward that the switch was being actuated. I used a pointed pocket knife blade to pry up on the guide blade making it arch slightly upward and everything is fine now. Now i wonder is this going to be a problem every time i mount and unmount my external flash. Time will tell.
