It’s the one where I have to flick the flash to prop open with a button on the side of the camera, but now the flash just won’t go off at all even with the settings on. I also see a small red flashing camera symbol on the bottom left of my camera screen. any recommendations?? Thanks!&nbsp;</EM></P> Sun, 11 Aug 2024 11:55:20 GMT valentina9918 2024-08-11T11:55:20Z https://community.usa.canon.com/t5/Point-Shoot-Digital-Cameras/My-PowerShot-SX740-flash-won-t-go-off-even-when-I-have-the-flash/m-p/492801#M19000 <P><EM>I have been using my canon power shot sx740 and I always have the flash settings on.

Let's see if we can force the flash to fire. Set the camera to the P shooting mode. Press the [flash lever] to raise the flash. Press the right directional button and choose the [FLASH ON] (lightning bolt without the A) mode.&nbsp;If the flash still does not fire, then unfortunately, there is a problem with the flash.&nbsp;Please follow the link below to access our online repair portal to arrange for service:</P> <P><A href="https://mycanon.usa.canon.com/signin" target="_blank">https://mycanon.usa.canon.com/signin</A></P> Tue, 13 Aug 2024 22:21:03 GMT https://community.usa.canon.com/t5/Point-Shoot-Digital-Cameras/My-PowerShot-SX740-flash-won-t-go-off-even-when-I-have-the-flash/m-p/493350#M19012 John_Q 2024-08-13T22:21:03Z
