Noon flash won't pop up

If the screen display is shutting off, that's a normal function. If the camera is entirely shutting off it might be a bad battery or a very weak battery.

Go into the menu and ensure it is 'enabled' to fire automatically. Or press the lightning arrow button on the side or in a darkish room set the aperture to something like f16 and press the shutter button.

Not even when you press the button on the left side of the class? the one with the flash symbol.
Switch on the camera and then press the button.
Look in the manual how you can setup the flash in all other than the automatic mode.

Try a factory reset. In the menu go to the third spanner and select 'Clear settings'

To pop up the flash put the camera in manual mode (M) and press the flash release button and it should pop up.

Hi, What external flash did you use on your Canon 60D? The internal flash will not automatically pop up if in the "Creative Zone" it will pop up with the button in the creative zones (M, AV, TV and P) it will not pop up with the button if you are in the the full auto mode (that's the little green box mode) but, should pop up automatically if required. The flash should pop up automatically in the basic zone for Portrait, close up and night photography, the button won't activate (pop up) the flash. Also the internal flash will not pop up if there is an accessory in the hot shoe. Again what external flash was it you used and did it flash?

With the Canon XSi, the flash should automatically pop up in FULL AUTO mode when it thinks it needs to. In modes like Manual Mode, you need to pop it up yourself. There is a button on the front next to the lens that looks like a lightning bolt, that's the flash activator. Try popping your camera into Manual Mode and press that button. If it doesn't work then there might be a problem with the mechanism and needs repairs.

When you take pictures in AUTO, Portrait, Macro or Night scene mode, the built-in flash will automatically pop up in low-light or backlit conditions. If you want to control the flash pop-up, set this function to OFF.
1 Menu [AUTO POP UP]
2 Use control dial to select [ON] or [OFF].
3 Press the Ok button.

If you are in any other mode the flash will not auto pop up.

Hi,

1. Setting the time

• When the machine is plugged in, the screen will display 12:00.
• Press and hold the "HR" and "MIN" button until the numbers flash.
• Then press the "HR and "MIN" button to scroll through the numbers. When the numbers stop flashing, the time has been set.

CAUTION! When you pass the number 12, the letters "PM" appear to indicate the time between 12 noon and 12 midnight. When these letters do not appear, the time corresponds to the morning hours, from midnight to noon. Always make sure the hour is set according to the correct period so that programming is correct.

• 2 Programming the start time
• Press and hold the "PROG" button. The numbers and the indicator light flash.
• Press "HR" and "MIN" in the same way to set the hour to the desired start time for the cycle. When the numbers stop flashing, the programmed time is set.

CAUTION! Programming the start time is not possible when the coffee maker is running.

Hope this will help you.

Best regards

I have the same problem as Irichard, in that the flash won't pop up automatically, the camera wont work when you pop it up manually all all modes that allow flash photography do not work.
