Camera Samsung S630. Flash wont work. Batterys ully charged. Selected Auto Flash.

Bob,
Why persistently post the same query ? This will not get you faster or different responses - in fact, the reverse.

Hi there remove the memory card and reset the camera. Now turn on the camera with out the memory card and make the camera flash light ON mode and take a snap. If the flash not working after this setting, then you need to replace the flash tube. The flash tube is cut off and thats why its not working.

Dear Sir,
1.Please put your camera in manual mode or program mode after this select the flash option and then select fill in mode.
2.After this press the shutter button and hold it this will energize the flash and help to take the photo.
3.If these steps do not work then you will have to change the batteries.

your carera is set on shutter priority,,,
change it to auto
what its telling you is,, its set at a lens opening of F2.8 ( thats wide open ,,,so little or no depth of field in photos) ,(and a shutter speed of 1.45 of a second?) witch means its realy dark were you are??
the little eye flashing tells you to use the flash,,,
i bet you have left it set on flash photos only?
switch it over to auto mode and out of flash mode!

On many digital cameras the flash is automatic. The camera senses the brightness and decides whether to set the flash ON or OFF. I would like to know what happens when you instruct the camera to always put flash ON irrespective of lighting condition? (You can do that by selecting left button on the circular selection button.. the one with lightning arrow)
Please let me know if that works..

At this price point, they really are not worth investing time and labor required to attempt repair. Sometimes it simply makes more sense to dispose of the old and purchase new.

Does the flash fully charge?
If so, it may be that the flash tube is faulty and will require replacing.
This should be done by your authorised Samsung repair centre.

Hi,
According to the symptoms it seems that the capacitor of the flash unit is not charging properly.So, you have to change the flash unit.

Thanks & Bye
And dont forget to rate the answer.

I have this camera and mine did the same thing. YOU SHOULD DEFINATELY TRY DOUBLE AA RECHARGEABLS. I know you probably have ehard that they're no good, bubt my camera works for days if i fully charge the batteries, So, try some new and FRESH batteries for your camera.

Flash not working seems to be an ongoing problem with this model. Contact customer support at samsungcamerausa.com and fill out a repair request. My camera is also an A402 over 2yrs old and supposedly they are going to repair the flash free of charge. You'll have to pay to ship it.
