My zr90 has a flashing red icon that consists of a down arrow, lightning bolt, and what looks like a petri dish - camera will not record. what does this mean.
Mine had that too. It means the backup battery is low. It's located in a panel behind the LCD screen. You can find details on page 19 of the users manual. If you don't have your manual, you can download it for free from canon's website.

On the menu there should be an icon that looks like a yellow lightning
bolt with a red circle around it and a red line thru it (this means that
the flash is off)....in the lower right hand corner you should see a
white lightning bolt. Tap the red circle 2 times and you should notice
that the yellow lightning bolt now stands alone and the red circle and
the red line has been removed (now your flash is on). Note: Each time
you turn on the camera and you need flash, you will have to make this
adjustment...I hadn't figured out a way so that it happens
automatically..
The lightning bolt is the fill-flash symbol. Red-eye reduction is the eyeball symbol. Flash off is the lightning bolt in a circle with a slash through it. There's also an auto flash mode, represented by a lightning bolt with the letter "A".
Repeatedly press the flash button on the top of the camera to cycle through the flash modes.
In the shooting mode, press up-arrow on the multiselector (marked with a lightning bolt). Select the no-flash icon (lightning bolt in a circle with a slash through it), then press OK.
Touch the lightning bolt icon in the function area until the flash icon and the letter A appears on the left side of the display. This activates the automatic flash.
Touch the lightning bolt icon again until the letter A disappears. This forces the manual flash mode.
Touch the lightning bolt icon again until the eyeball appears on the left side of the display. This activates the red-eye reduction feature.
To turn off the flash function touch the lightning bolt icon repeatedly until the no-flash symbol (lighting bolt in a circle with a line through it) appears on the left.
Touch the lightning bolt icon area until the flash icon appears on the left side of the display. This will activate the flash.
Touch the lightning bolt icon area again until the flash symbol appears on the LCD screen. This forces the flash function.
Touch the lightning bolt icon area again until the eyeball icon appears on the left. This activates the red-eye reduction mode.
To turn off the flash, touch the lightning bolt icon area again until the no-flash icon (lightning bolt inside a circle) appears on the left.
This is covered on pages 13-14 of the manual. If you've misplaced your manual, you can download one from the manufacturer's web site at http://vivitar.com

On the control button (large button on the back) at the top is a symbol that looks like a lightning bolt with an arrow tip. This is also the UP arrow. When you press it continually, the flash options will be noted by symbols.
No indicator - Auto
Lightning bolt - Flash forced on
Lightning bolt followed by SL - Slow Synchronized flash
Lightning bolt with the circle and line through it - Flash Forced off
Whenever you are taking pictures of people within six feet of them, it is a good idea to turn on the flash - whether you are indoors or out. The Flash mode is easily accessed via the arrow pad on the back of the camera. Press the right arrow key, which has a lightning bolt icon, to enter the Flash Mode. Press the down key to select the lightning bolt icon and press “OK”. The flash will fire every time in this mode. Your outdoor pictures of people should improve in appearance since the flash will fill-in shadows normally apparent in outdoor shots.
