There is a button on the left side of the camera that will rise the flash. In most cases, you won't need the flash, but you can use it if you wish.

I had to push the button by the flash to get it to pop up, then take the picture. It does not POP automatically.If it doesn't work then, I Don't know what the problem is.

First, you have to press the flash release button to open the flash(refer to the manual for location{ looking at the back of the camera, it's to the left of the flash cover, on the top of the camera} ). You also have to set the flash mode; always, automatic,etc.Several times I've been frustrated only to find out that the flash wasn't open and ready.Good luck.

There is a little button next to the flash, over the lense. If you push it, the flash is activated and you can take pictures with flash.

Ingrid, this is a smart flash that only requires you to push the flash release button to open the flash on top of the camera. Then you can select one of three flash modes by depressing the flash (lighting) icon on the menu function. If you will look on page 38 of the manual, it explains how to do this. It works very well.

Take the real light piece of paper out, make sure it is straight and even with carbon side down. put your flash like a fax, and hit copy, it has been quite a while since i used mine, but utube has some good videos

almost all cameras have a delay with flash.. try using the indoor mode withOUT flash and it will fire much faster and usually you will have more than enough light.

As far as I know the camera does not need to be in any particular setting for the flash to fire. Make sure you can fire the flash independednt of the camera, that is by pressing the button on one of the triggers manually.

Double check to make sure it's not on "no flash" (lightning bolt with circle and slash through it) which youcan change by pressing the circle with the ok in the middle. If that doesn't work, turn the camera off, take the battery out,and then put back in and turn on. also make sure your camera is well charged. Otherwise, get service.

I had the same problem trying to use the camera in auto mode. It popped up, i think every time i turned the camera on in the auto mode, but it wouldn't fire, even in a completely dark room. Yes, the flash was set to auto. It seemed to work fine in other modes. Every camera i've run across fires the flash automatically when used in auto so i figured there was something wrong with the one i recieved.

If you havan't already done so, try swapping the two 622c units you have. Perhaps the one you are using for flash works better with the camera? It should work but as MW said, the unit could be defective.

well, im shooting in large fine format, and i try to use iso accordingly, but whats confusing is that i get both the flash sign (like its recharching as you mention) but i also see the buffer light for the memory on blinking so im not sure if its trying to do both at the same time and can't consult the manual(totally clueless) cause it was ripped up the same day i got it by my friends dog..(damn chihuahuas) so never got a chance to do so...

Thanks very much for the info., Les. I actually returned my camera when even Panasonic tech support couldn't fix the problem, but I later learned it was not a defective camera. I'll be buying it again in the near future as I think it's a great camera, and I'll be saving your message in an attempt to figure it all out. Also, too bad there's no flash button on the camera and that you have to go to the menu to fiddle with it. That's weird! (and too bad it doesn't pop up automatically, like my Sony) THANKS AGAIN!

Set the flash on slave mode... On the 580ex II hold zoom then turn the dial to slave on the set...

Try popping up the flash with the release on the side of the camera. I had the same problem with my pictures and in order for the flash to work it needs to be popped up. Hope this helps.

I do not know because I do not have the same camera. More likely it will still trigger the flash.

On the top of the camera do I leave the switch kept on the Green Camera? I don't know which setting that should be on either. Do I use the flash with the flower button? Need more light? I don't know what my image quality should be set on or my image size, should it be set on portair, number of pixels to use. Sorry so much, but this camera is new and I can't figure it out. So frustrating. Thanks for answering.
