Unfortunately, you may have a faulty flash pcb (printed circuit board) The part is around 50$ plus installation 200+ total repair cost. A work around would be to use an external flash unit from the hot shoe

SOURCE: r05 problem using d70, camera will not take a photo in autofocus

It is actually an error message generated by your compact flash and means that the card is no longer readable. A lot of D70 owners have reported this error without being able to find another solution other than reinserting the card or changing the card to a different brand. You could also try cleaning out the memory card slot and check to see that all pins are aligned and not bent.
Good Luck,
Jeff

Does the flash pop up? If not, try to pull it up manually. Look at your settings in the menu, maybe reset them.

SOURCE: Nikon S210 flash not working

The flash has been working fine until last night when I tried to take a picture and the flash was set to auto. When I press the button the little red light beside the flash sign lights up, but the camera does not take the photo. When I set it to flash mode, it still won't take a photo. When I turn off the flash, then it does. What could be the problem? Is it in the settings?

Nikon SB 700 Problem: 'IT FIRES BUT NOT SHOWING THE RESULT PLEASE HELP TO RECTIFY THE PROBLEM' ...

You did not give enough information. If the flash fires when you press the shutter button then it seems to have taken a photo. You do not tell us what happens when you press the playback button on the camera or what camera you are using with the flash.

Kodak P880 camera won't autofocus. I bought a used P880 - seems like an awesome mid-high end camera for someone on a budget. Problem is that it won't autofocus properly. When viewing and pressing down on...

Hi mfkcolumbus,

Did you check the firmware version? If it's not v. 1.02, then get it at the Kodak support site and flash that firmware to your camera. If it is 1.02, then you may try to reflash that same firmware. Sometimes this helps strait'n out things.

Hope this helps.

I changed the batteries and continued to take photos when i noticed that the screen was flashing on and off and then going to standby mode. tried resetting back to default but screen still flashes. flash...

Hi Bill,

You are not using this flash like a sub-machine gun, right?
Is your reachargeable batteries older than 15 months?

Try this:
Set to low power on flash, set flash to manual.
Remove flash from hotshoe.
Fire the flash by pushing the flash button for 3 mins, same problem(s)?

Nikon SB-800 flash - needs to be reset ?? or repaired ??

Try reseting the flash itself, press and hold the "Mode" and "on/off" buttons together for 2 seconds approx...this should reset the whole flash.

If that doesn't work try unlocking it by pressing the "on/off" and "Sel" buttons together, the padlock should disappear.

With respect to the corroded contacts you just need to try and clean them as best you can...but it sounds like you have really bad contact with the battery and hence a serious voltage drop, hence the dim display and lack of the red ready light.

Thanks
Mark

My sb 600 fires with the camera but it seems not illuminate

Definately a settings problem. The camera will only syncronize on one specific speed. Youe best bet is to use auto. For manual, you'll have to set the shutter speed at the sync speed.

Flash Sync Speed
  • up to 1/250 X-Sync Speed
  • up to 1/8000 FP High Speed Sync
  • Red-eye reduction
    Red-eye reduction with slow sync
    Rear-curtain sync
    Slow sync
    Front-curtain sync (normal) Flash Sync Modes
  • 1) i-TTL: TTL flash control by 1,005-pixel RGB sensor, built-in flash, SB-800, SB-600, SB-400: i-TTL balanced fill-flash and standard i-TTL flash
    2) AA (Auto Aperture-type) flash: Available with SB-800 used with CPU lens
    3) Non-TTL Auto: Available with Speedlights such as SB-800, 28, 27, and 22S
    4) Range-priority manual flash; available with SB-800 Flash Control

    Can't turn the flash off

    Hi The product you have given has Built-in flash with Auto, Forced on, Red-eye on, and forced off (Red-eye reduction On or Off).
    There is a 1 1/8" diameter lens with a built-in lens cover that automatically opens and closes when the on/off button is pressed. Above the lens is the viewfinder window, flash and tiny (almost unnoticeable) microphone. There is also a small circle that has three functions: the autofocus assist beam, red-eye reduction lamp, self-timer lamp. A wrist strap comes with the camera and attaches through a slot on the front of the camera near the side.
    To the right of those buttons is the four-way controller, used for menu navigation as well as:
    • Up - Metering (Evaluative, center-weighted, spot)
    • Down - Drive (Single-shot, continuous, self-timer)
    • Left - Focus (Auto, macro, infinity)
    • Right - Flash (Auto w/redeye reduction, auto, flash on w/redeye reduction, flash on, flash off)
