[QUOTE="Sandpatch, post: 738229, member: 10543"] Thank you hark and Needa, tried these both several times with no luck. I now hear a faint click when I press the flash button, but I still can't get the flash to pop up. Maybe the solenoid has failed or an internal part or clip has fallen away or has broken; I just don't know. I've removed and installed the battery to no avail, so I'll try the reset procedure when I locate the directions for that. Last night I looked at the Nikon website to see what the latest DX camera models are. Boy, it gets confusing. A D5500 and D5600 are both available, but the older D5500 (@ $700) costs $100 more than the newer D5600 (@ $600)!? :confused: The older D7200 is $1,100 and the new D7500 is $900!? :confused: The new D7500 sensor has less MP (20.9) than the older 7200 (24.2)!? The D500 has no built-in flash, so that's off my list. [/QUOTE]
