Set the ISO to a lower number and make sure your "exposure compensation" is at "0" or lower if you prefer.

On the back of the camera, push the right arrow and you will bring up the flash options. Most of the time you might want to choose "Auto", but the lighting symbol without the circle around it will be the flash "on" setting. If the flash doesn't work in this setting, something else is wrong, possibly the Xenon tube is bad or the flash capacitor inside the camera. Hope this helps.

Your probably having the same problem as me, the flash isnt working. You should still be able to take pictures if you disable flash. So when it's on and your ready to take a pic, hit the right arrow key till it shows the swiggly downward arrow icon as of, looks like a no smoking icon, lol.

I'm guessing you have a delay set (people will use this on a tripod). The small button on the top left (next to the flash control) will solve your problem I think.

If you want them to be permanently deleted you can format the memory card and this will clear the card of all data. If you just want these certain images deleted then you need to be in Playback mode - press the Menu button - go to Playback menu and press Ok - then choose the key option and turn it from ON to OFF. This will remove the lock and allow you to erase the selected image.

I;ve been on the internet all morning researching the same problem. It appears it's a curcuit related problem with the flash. As of know, haven't got a solution other then buying another camera or taking paictures in manuel mode without flash.

there is no chance you can fix it.. you need prof service to fix it. internal flash circuitry malfunction is present. try shooting in program mode or manual setting ( not using flash).

it could be a problem with CCD, and that can just be replaced in a service centre.

it seems that the flash is not charging. the only way to fix is to show it to some repairer.
