When trying to take a picture using the flash, the flash graphic flashes and the camera will not take a picture.
You have to unscrew the left side of the camera (if you're looking at the back of the camera, the side that is right beside the flash). Then, at the very top, with a tiny screw driver, just gently tap the black flash compartment and it should work after that. I've had the flash problem twice in the past year and both times I got it to work again by taping on it. Hope it helps!

Same problem. Just in time for Christmas! Had worked fine for 2 years prior to that. Works fine if I turn off the flash. Flash worked once today, but stopped again.
same problem, works when it wants to
Same problem. Changing batteries helped once, but now the flash is dead. Seems as if the capacitor is malfunctioning. Also, a small graphic appears above the number of shots remaining, shaped like the camera with what looks like a starburst (as if representing the flash).
I have the same problem. Works fine if I turn of the flash. Not at all if I don't.
