| Help! This camera is fairly new to me, and I am just using automatic functions for the moment. However, a problem has arisen that I don't understand. When taking photos with a flash, I sometimes get a message on the screen that says "Speedlight is in closed position" and the camera then takes a photo without a flash. This can be after I have taken one or two photos with the flash a few seconds before in the same environment. The Speedlight remains open, so it's not that that is closed, and it's always in an environment that needs a flash as the resulting shots are always black. What is going wrong? |

I don't ever use the flash on my Coolpix, but my guess would be that you need to wait a few seconds for it to recharge.

Yes, the speedlight is charging. The same message serves dual purposes here.

| Thanks, but this doesn't seem to be the case, as the camera would have been on for a good few seconds beforehand, and once the problem "clears" (I find if I alter the type of flash it clears it) it then takes photos with a flash without any problem. It's not that I have my finger on the flash cover either. Could it be a fault with the hardware? |
