Hi Jim,
Have you tried resetting all settings on the camera? On a Sony camera, it is called "initialize". The initialize setting is found by going to the menu, and tabbing down until you find an option called either "reset settings" or "initialize settings" and then confirm it.
Many times that will fix the issue, in case something has either been enabled/disabled on accident, or the software is sticking (which happens from time to time)

Camera want flash sony dsc-h3

If it flashes when you take any photo then you have the flash set to manual override for each shot or you're just shooting in areas too dark for any photos without the flash. Check your flash settings or try a factory default reset from the camera's menu options.

Trying to change flash settings but says 'flash settings cannot be changed' with a warning triangle. I am in the 'Green Camera' setting on the dial on top

Hello. I have a solution for you. You have your camera set to "burst" mode, which does not use flash. Reset it to "single" mode and you will be able to change the flash settings. Regards, Joe. PS Please rate my answer. Thanks.

Clock setting

If you set current time in clock set, it will not asked you again. I think you just cancel it when clock set display appears.
