How does it turn on? How can I choose flash or steady? Pushing the button on the battery case doesn't do anything.

Pushing the button on the battery case is how mine turns on and off. Possibly try changing the batteries? Not sure what size it takes though.

probably the battery, ours works fine. But a good battery, we even got a spare, should come with. Check the battery and surrounding casing, make sure the connections are hitting. On ours, push once for steady, twice to flash, just keep hitting it til you get what you want. If you have a defective collar, would let the supplier know, sometimes not worth it for you to send it back. Did you buy it under Amazon Prime, you still will probably have to pay return shipping. Would let them know, maybe they will just send you a replacement. Think they use those little flat round batteries, never looked because we haven't had to. When they work they work great! Def let supplier know, esp if it was a Prime item. probably the battery, ours works fine. But a good battery, we even got a spare, should come with.

Initially, pull the plastic strip from the battery case so that the battery can come into contact. Then push down on the battery once and it flashes quickly, push again and it flashes a little slower and then push down again and it stays on solid. Push down once more and it turns off. If nothing is happening after pulling out the plastic strip try replacing with new battery. The collar comes with two extra batteries.

Press the on button twice rapidly. That seems to work for me. This way you bypass the flashing mode. Hope that would do it

By default the flash is automatic. It might be helpful, as the others say, to go to the 'thunder' sign on the Function's Circle on the back of the camera to set it and turn it on. If the flash doesn't work turned on, then it is a manufacturing problem and you should contact the seller and/or Cannon.

You may have a defective unit. My plugs into the flash and powers the flash each time it discharges. There is no on/off switch. The power switch on the flash should activate the battery pack. If it does not check the batteries in the pack. If you have fresh batteries in the pack and no power is flowing to the flash, then their is something wrong with the unit. Be sure to check that the batteries are aligned properly in the pack.

In Auto setting the flash will pop up when the subject is dark. Also, at the top of the OK button is the FLASH selector that will let you choose the type of flash you need.

I haven't used mine with flash but it has been erratic w/o a flash. I had to go back through the start up procedures and reset the frequency twice. Seems to be ok now. Oh and I replaced all of the batteries just to be sure.

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.

On mine at night there is a little white blur in the corner if I use the flash. I have a white case so I'm assuming it's from that. I'm not really sure how to fix it. Otherwise case and the battery are amazing I usually go 2.5 days with out a charge. Get two batteries that way you always have one fully charged at home and ready to go.

I don't know of any flash issues, I have a white case though and it doesn't really seem to affect the flash? Then again, I don't take too many indoor/night photos so I may not have noticed. I'm sorry I couldn't be more help :(

Mine has never flashed. There is s slight pause when it's first turned on---but that is so short that it doesn't bother me at all.

When you hold the strobe button for long enough, it stays in strobe, if you have tried clicking the large button and it's still in strobe and won't stop, you may have to remove the battery and wait thirty seconds and put it back together. If that doesn't work you may have gotten a lemon, talk to the distributor and or manufacturer and try to get it sorted. Sorry for your bad luck, I have abused the mess out of mine and it still works like a Swiss watch.

The other step required on mine is to turn the flash on. (Batteries must be in the flash as we'll.)You have to set the flash to determine whether or not both internal and external power are to be used.

Easy. Pick up the camera. Power on. On the back of the camera on the large outside circle there are 4 markings. The one on the right controls the flash. If you press it you will see that there are 4 options. Just keep clicking that right side of the outer circle until you get the setting that you prefer. Enjoy that little jewel. BKW

I dont know! I had mine with the same problem. It seems like the switch got broken because it feels kind of loose compared on How it was before. Mine It also got water inside. Did your flashkight got water inside too? I have not tried to fix it yet.

I beleive there are a couple of settings for the flash. Like flash, fill flash and so on. I think you can download the manual from their site.

No. There is a small button next to the flash. Push this button when you want to use the flash.

as far as i'm conserned, it goes only to automatic mode. it decides by itself when to use it. although, it can be switched off. i usualy don't use flash.
