Nikon D50 - Flash problem

Slinwagh · 2 Feb 2007 at 15:29

For some reason I can't get the inbuilt flash to fire on my D50. I can set the flash to fire in different ways but it doesn't actually flash.

Does any one have any ideas?

What mode are you using ? Full auto, Portrait, Landscape, A, S, P, M ?

May sound dumb, but, have you pressed the button just forward of the mode wheel?

It doesn't fire in any mode.

Right now its on full auto mode and on the LCD display the flash is showing as Auto.

I'm in a dark room now with only the light from the street lamp out side, two monitors and a TV and it won't fire.

I have the exact same problem and i also have the D50. It wont flash no matter the settings.

Have you solved this issue yet?

Ive had a look through the menu and tried a few things but nothing works.

The flash pops up out of its compartment but doesnt flash.

The only thing i can think it could be is the other week i borrowed somebodys sb-600 flash gun and used it for a bit and i cant recall since then that it has worked.

Has anybody else had this problem?

Could this be a problem with all D50's?

Thank you
