Hi,

First try with new batteries as power received will be less as the batteries gets older and so flashes might not be working well. Clean the metal contacts of the battery holder properly with dry cloth and then insert the new battery and check you are getting power to the camera.
If you still face the problem, then inner conductivity is lost between battery terminals and circuit board.
Another chance that there can be the problem with flash lamp. You need to take to service center to get it repaired.

Hope this helps.

I'm sorry that the flash on the Camera is not working. If the Forced flash setting is already enabled and the flash is still not working, then the issue may be due to another camera setting. Even if the Forced flash setting is enabled, the flash will still not work in the following circumstances:
- When shooting MPEG movies - When shooting in the Twilight or Handheld Twilight mode - If shooting with the Burst or Multi Burst mode - Shooting with Sweep Panorama - Shooting with the Fireworks or High Sensitivity mode. - If an external flash is connected
Please make sure that the Camera is not in any of the above modes.

Canon sx 150

Hi
1. The flash on this model Canon works only if you manually raise the flash. It does not rise automatically, and is only on the raised flash.
2. Flash on the module has a switch - it sometimes fails and then flash "does not understand" that she had to get involved.
3. Not working flash capacitor charging circuit - usually after any water
4. Flash lamp is not working - usually after a light blow
5. Command does not work (a piece circuit) from the processor to light the lamp flashes - after a blow or hit the water.

If you follow steps 1 - Raise the flash and the camera is turned on in the menu mode - "shoot with the flash" - but your flash does not work - the rest can fix broken only engineer to repair.

Flash will not work

Before you give up on the camera:

There are many setting that can affect whether the flash works or not.
You may have inadvertently set something that is stopping the flash from working.

Get out your User Manuals and use the index at the back of the book.
Look for something about "Resetting the camera".

This will reset the camera to factory specifications.
Then see if the flash works.

If that does not work ... recharge the battery and try again.

If that does not work, the flash is likely dead.

The flash does not flash. Camera works without the flash.

I reviewed the menu settings and made a change to the flash option setting. Some how the function was turned to the off position!
Reading your posted comments gave me the idea to check that out!
Thanks, TW

Flash not working

I had the same problem with my flash not working on any setting, but I found a way to fix it: hit the menu button, make sure the "rec mode" choice is set to normal instead of burst. I think the burst mode takes multiple shots in a row, so the flash isn't compatible with that setting?
