Samsung s730 Hey, my samsung is doing the same thing, it wont take pictures with a flash, only without...now i remember once my finger got in the way in the flash but nothing really happened...the last time i took a picture w/the flash, it made a popping sound. Did you ever figure out how this issue could be solved, or if it can be solved at all??

You need to go to the store and buy Samsung S730 A-DATA 4GB SDHC Memory Card (Class 4)
It is worth about 8-20$. The memory card is used to save pictures. Here is an example: http://www.cellularfactory.com/camera/SAMSUNG/3/46100/

First try and take the SD card out and turn the camera off then on again. If that doesn't fix the problem, then: Turn it on, the hold the menu button for 20 seconds.

Hope this helps!

I think the above link is a free manual download from Samsung.com.

�� When the menu is displayed on the LCD monitor,
pressing the LEFT button makes the cursor shift to
the left tab.
�� When the menu is not displayed on the LCD
monitor, the LEFT button operates as the FLASH
( ) button.
�� Selecting the flash mode
1. Rotate the MODE DIAL to select a RECORDING mode with the exception of
Movie clip mode.
2. Press the Flash button until the desired flash mode indicator displays on the
LCD monitor.
3. A flash mode indicator will be displayed on the LCD monitor.
Use the correct flash to suit the environment.

If you are good with a screwdriver and soldering iron there is a common issue on this model with dry solder joins to the flash circuit.

The flashing eye has to do with the camera's red-eye reduction feature. Check to see that the little window below the flash on the front of the camera is clean, and make sure the lens is spotless. If that doesn't work, try de-activating the red-eye reduction using the camera menu.

Try reformatting the camera. Take the memory card out first or else you might lose all your pictures.
