Nikon D5200 flash not working

I have D5200 for more than an year now and suddenly the flash has stopped firing. I tried all the modes in which flash should fire but it doesn't. I tried taking pictures in the evening and night too but the flash won't fire. I tried taking the picture again next morning and the flash fired once. Subsequent pictures won't fire the flash again. Kindly advise.

Maybe you have turned the flash off in some of the menus... Very difficult if not impossible to diagnose your problem without having the camera in hand and trying other things.

You could try to do a camera reset (the 2 red buttons pressed simultaneously for a few seconds). This is all that comes to mind as of now.

This is why I will keep buying my cameras from a local brick and mortar store. When something goes wrong, I go to the camera store and see with the staff if it's something I inadvertently done or the camera has to go back for service.

I've seen this issue come up with student camera's a few times. A very simple fix solved the issue in all cases but one.

See THIS VIDEO for an explanation. Takes about five minutes.

Hi Amit,


I also have the same issue. Tried all the options but could get it working. Did you get any solution.


Thanks
