Everytime I try to take a picture in low light, I get the symbol flashing which tells me to shut off my flash. So I shut it off and then I can take the picture and then the pic turns out terrible because the flash should have been on.
I am having the exact same problem. I have tried changing the batteries and cleaning the battery terminals with no change. The flash symbol flashes and I get horrible, blurry pictures with the flash off. Please help!!!I am having the exact same problem.

I am having the same problem. About 3 months ago this problem started. In low light conditions, the flash symbol flashes and a picture cannot be taken. Sometimes by moving the camera around a little differently, the picture will sometimes take. It also takes a long time for the flash to recycle. I have taken out the batteries and replaced with many new fresh batteries, nothing seems to work.I am having the same problem. About 3 months ago this problem started.

I always have a problem taking pictures, even when I put in brand new batteries thinking that is the problem, but the flash will only work one time. then I have to turn the flash off to take pictures or set it on the manual setting to snap off pictures, I have lost alot of opportunities and have become quite disappointed with my camera. Is this fixable?

The 'fluttering' is a pre flash used to help the camera focus in low light. The internal flash isn't a powerful flash and is usually only good enough for subjects up to about 2m away in reasonable light also to light a subject that is back lit. Try putting the camera in manual mode (M) 1/60sec on f5.6 flash popped up review it and make adjustments accordingly i.e. open up or shut down the aperture as the flash usually syncs at 1/60
i have a sony cybershot DSC-W210 and just recently the flash wont work when its on any mode to take a picture it has the flash symbol on the screen flashing and the code E:91:01 underneath also flashing its takin pictures as normal just without the flash it wont let me change the settings of the flash at all
Sometimes the flash will be disabled when the battery is low in order to save power. Charge the battery fully and start up the camera.
At the top of the display, second from the left, you should see a symbol that contains a lightning bolt. This indicates the flash setting. Press the right side of the circular button until the symbol matches the picture on that button (just the bolt, no eye or A or anything). Now the flash is set to forced on. Try taking a picture.
If the flash still is not going off, something is broken. Call Polaroid. They may replace it if you have a receipt (as long as it's not refurbished or over a year old).
The orange light blinking means the flash is charging, once the light goes off you can go ahead take picture with flash. Your light keeps blinking because the flash is not ready. Try with fully charged batteries. If it won’t work, you may have an open fuse or something wrong with the flash circuit.
There is a "quick" button located on the back of the camera just for flashes. It is the first button to the right of the power button and it looks like a crooked lightning bolt arrow that points down. If you are in any picture taking mode, push this button and it will toggle you through each flash option, auto, red eye (eyeball symbol), flash (same symbol as the button, this mode will make the flash work everytime you take a picture), red eye and flash, and no flash (careful, in this mode you have to allow for the camera to focus, the lens will stay open a long time in a dark atmosphere -- if you don't hold the camera still you will get a blurry picture).
Set the camera to anything except no flash. Turn it off. Take out the battery. Wait 5-10 seconds. Put the battery back in. The flash should now work until you turn the camera off again (and then you must remove/replace the battery to get the flash working again).
The flash requires some kind of "master reset" to work. Haven't found a permanent solution to this.
