It won't in several shooting modes, like manual. Try auto and make sure flash mode is not set to off (circle with line over lightening bolt) but to auto.

The sensor would be a prime suspect. Has the camera been anywhere where dirt or moisture might have got in? Or has an attempt been made to clean the sensor recently? If so, it may be worth taking to a specialist camera shop to check, but prepare yourself for some bad news. If it is the sensor that is broken it may well be beyond economical repair.

Based on the fact that you asked this basic question, I STRONGLY URGE YOU TO NOT ATTEMPT TO FIX THE CAMERA YOURSELF! The problem you describe requires the services of a knowledgable camera repair man. I recommend that you go on Nikon's website and find the location of the nearest Nikon repair depot and follow instructions for return of your camera. Ask them for a repair estimate before they proceed with the work.

there are special repair centres fir water damage. Not sure you can find one close to you. You could try to put the camera in a bag of rice, and contact a Nikon certified service centre immediately. First ask them if they can repair and then what it will cost. Could be expensive, so i think you should start saving for a new camera.

Rotate the Live View switch to the LV position. Focus by pressing the shutter release button halfway. Start recording by pressing the movie-record button. Stop recording by pressing the movie-record button again.Full details are in the "Recording and Viewing Movies" section of the manual (page 107 in my copy). If you need a manual, you may download a copy here.

Still this is strange. Most of the time when I use the auto setting, I turn the main dial not on the green camera, but on the one between SCENE and the green logo. That prevent the flash to pop up. But still if you want to use the flash it should be possible. Be aware that some settings the flash can't be used, f.i. when the shutter speed is to high. I would suggest to put al user settings back to standard and try to use the flash again. If it stalls again, try to read the display, if it gives anything of a warning or message.

I couldn't locate the specific info requested but here is a link to the manual for the camera. Hope it helps. Good luckhttp://www.nikonusa.com/pdf/manuals/dslr/D3200_EN.pdf
