We traded up from an EOS T5 to PowerShot SX70 HS.
we cannot seem to configure the SX70 to pop the flash when shooting like our older T5.
I cannot seem to find any info in the user manuals about this feature.
thanks for any help,
Paul

Hi Paul and welcome to the forum:
You're right: it's not too obvious, but the built-in flash of the PowerShot SX70HS must be manually raised - it does not pop-up like DSLR cameras. You place a finger on each side of the flash housing and rotate it upwards, as in P28 of the Advanced User Guide:
Might have been an idea to show a couple of fingers!
When finished, just push it down again - gently. The other thing you lose with the 'upgrade' is the separate hot shoe for flash. That disappeared after the SX60HS.
