Canon T5i (700D) Flash Busy

hoangvista — Mon, 22 Oct 2018 09:18:42 GMT

Hello everyone! I have an Canon Rebel T5i(2000 shot)

I was trying to take some pictures and when flash was needed, it was "Flash Busy" right from the start. I tried at all modes but the camera still shows the message "Flash Busy". My battery was charged full. My memory card is fine.

Can someone please help with this?

I would suggest that you should try a new battery, if that doesn't work then it is probably an internal fault with the camera.

Specifically, a failed flash capacitor or bad HV DC-DC converter.

Or, the disco flash is seeing a lot of use and needs time to recharge. When the camera flashes that message, an icon should also blink to tell why you are getting the message.
