A new flash mechanism that slides forward as it pops up assures an adequate angle of illumination while contributing to the camera's low-profile body design. The flash offers broad, even coverage with minimal illumination drop-off at the periphery. In addition, the new design allows a dedicated external flash to be used in tandem with the built-in flash.

I have changed my flasher bulbs with LED Bulbs, I now have rapid turh signals. 2013 Honda CRV EXL

I have seen this so many times. If you change the bulbs for LED lamps then you need to change the flasher unit. This is because the LED lamps draw less current then ordinary bulbs.

DIY Pop-up Flash Diffuser

Wanting to lessen the power of your flash with under exposing your picture/subject?
Want to add natural light bounce to your subject and lessen shadows?
Wanting to have a pop-up flash diffuser without spending a dime?How about removing shadow cast when doing some macro shots?
If your answer to these questions are YES, then time to read this DIY guide. This should be easy to follow and the material(s) needed should be available in your home.
First, let's briefly discuss what a diffuser is. A diffuser lessens the strong/ harsh light coming from your camera's built-in pop-up flash, creating a softer and distributes the light evenly on your picture.
There are lots of pop up diffusers out there and are relatively cheap. However here's one that I've tried and tested and worked fine for me. Take the cap of your empty roll-on(deo) place it with your hand, right at the front of the pop-up flash(in it's popped out position). Then take a picture using flash. Try it with and w/o the cap to see the difference. Not impressed? Try it first and explore new ways of getting better pictures.

Get Wooden Sliding Doors and Drawers to slide smoothly

I have a house built in the 70's and the previous owners built in cabinets along an entire wall with sliding wooden doors. I would have to pull and tug and tug to get them to open, and then they would often pull the other door open with them! This would have been a situation where, with a different material other than wood, WD-40 would have been perfect! Of course I was working with wood, so that wasn't an option. I finally took an ordinary bar of soap (nothing fancy with moisturizers or extra ingredients) and ran it along the wood where the cabinets slide. Bingo! <img src="mkd123.jpg" /> I have since used this method to make wooden drawers open and close smoother and I do touch everything up every couple of months with a little run across of bar soap!

Built in flash will not pop up. in menu the message reads external flash is attached, but no external flash is attached!!!

Hardware, not software.

Look at the hot shoe. The two metal tracks where your external flash slides on have a flexible strip under them which is pressed down when the flash is attached. Something is probably stuck in there, holding them down and closing the circuit that tells the camera the flash is attached.

Try sliding the corner of a business card or other stiff paper in there to dislodge whatever is keeping it down. Probably something as tiny as a grain of sand or other grit it causing the problem.

Timer runs constantly. Runs cycle then shuts off and shortly later restaRTS.

Posted under GE 15069 countdown timer.
Unknown if this is new timer that is wired wrong or if load has interference, or existing timer that stopped working.

If new timer, then check wiring: This timer is for single-pole application only and requires neutral wire.
http://waterheatertimer.org/GE-timers-and-manuals.html#15067
Then check for line interference by moving timer to different Load, for example ordinary incandescent light bulb.
Make sure slide switch is set to Timer.
Slide switch works as ordinary on-off switch, so see if slide switch works correctly.

If timer stopped working:
Feel timer if it is warm to touch indicating overload or internal timer short.
Timer is rated for 1/2 HP at 120Volts. Check nameplate on motor for HP.
Check for short in line by temporarily replacing timer with on-off switch, and check wire nut connections.
Move timer to different Load, for example ordinary incandescent light bulb.

If timer has gone bad, then return it to Home Depot and swap for different timer.
If load interference is problem, then buy mechanical spring-type countdown timer like Intermatic FD60

mcomijohns. WHAT ARE YOU SUGGESTING!!!! Stop.

Lakshmy Be aware that the built in flash does not pop up automatically in all picture modes. Try it when in the different modes (on the mode dial) and see what I mean. Does it pop up when manually opened ?, (small button on front left hand side of the viewing pentaprism/flash housing.) PLease let u shave more information for a proper solution.

The best way to avoid red-eye is to have the flash as far away from the lens as possible. If you can mount an external flash onto the flash bracket, use that instead of a built-in or pop-up flash. Similarly, you can use bounce mode to make the light fall on the subject at a different angle/direction from the lens.

Pop-Up flash - Rebel xti

You will need to send the camera for servicing. There's a lever mechanism inside the flash unit which is responsible for popping up the flash. Since it is a mechanical device, it is sometimes prone to failure. I suggest not to put manual pressure to force the flash to come out, as it may cause permanent damage. Instead, send the camera for service.
