The flash of my DSC F505 suddenly stopped working. When I popped out the flash, an error code occured. The handbook says, this error code means, that only Sony can handle with it.
I got it repaired at a Sony Service center in Japan.
Anybody had the dame problem? Anybody knows about the reasons for that
error?

Re:
You must have an E:61 or E:91 error. You will need to send it back to Sony but, that is what warranties are all about. I am sure it will be fixed quickly and for free!!

Make sure Flash Shoe option is Off in setup menu then check flash light. Does camera give any blinking error code when flash fails to fire? Does flash pop up when you press shutter button to take picture in low light? Let me know to find out possible cause of problem.
I can't recall all the Sony error codes off the top of my head, but I believe E:91 is that your flash is not working.
Can you take pictures at all or do you get just the error code? If you can take a picture with the flash off then your flash needs to be replaced.
If you can't use the camera you need to first press the reset button, then reset all camera settings to default.
1-3. PROCESS AFTER FIXING FLASH ERROR
When "FLASH error" (Self-diagnosis Code E : 91 : 01) occurs, to
prevent any abnormal situation caused by high voltage, setting of the
flash is changed automatically to disabling charge and flash setting.
After fixing, this setting needs to be deactivated. Flash error code
can be initialized by the operations on the HOME screen.
Method for Initializing the Flash Error Code
Initialize
Initializes the setting to the default setting. Even if you execute
this function, the images stored in the internal memory are retained.
1 Select [Initialize] with v/V/b/B, then press z. The message
"Initialize all settings" appears. 2 Select [OK] with v, then press z.
The settings are reset to the default setting.
To cancel the resetting
Select [Cancel] in step 2, then press z.
· Make sure that the power is not disconnected during resetting.
Hope this helps.

Hi!
The flash fuse on the main board or the flash board is bad. Contact your local Sony service center, but
if they ask too much, you can contact me at [email protected]
and I will give you a good price.
I work in Sony service center.
