Canon Rebel T3 has an intermittent flashing red light near the AF arrow on the back panel. Why?

It is not on all the time, but it comes on when I turn it on, then flashes on & off at odd times. Thought it was a low battery, but the battery is fine.

SOURCE: Problems with the battery and the flash on my canon powershot A530

Know this is an old post but... Some of The Canon Powershot A530 and A540 cameras are subject to an advisory recall. Seems that a small spring on the battery compartment door can short out the batteries. Suspect this of yours, in that you mentioned that your batteries weren't lasting long. If your camera is on the list, Canon should fix this for you for free, including free shipping both ways. This is regardless of your camera's warranty status. Please check the following link for more info:

I have a VIVITAR 728AFC external flash from a CANON REBEL film camera and want to know if it will work with a CANON T3 digital camera

According to this list the trigger voltage is well within bounds and thus won't fry your T3.

Canon T3 flash flutters and does not take pictures help!

The 'fluttering' is a pre flash used to help the camera focus in low light. The internal flash isn't a powerful flash and is usually only good enough for subjects up to about 2m away in reasonable light also to light a subject that is back lit. Try putting the camera in manual mode (M) 1/60sec on f5.6 flash popped up review it and make adjustments accordingly i.e. open up or shut down the aperture as the flash usually syncs at 1/60
