D3100 flash issue

Hi Guys,

I’ve been using D3100 since sometime now. Today I clicked few snaps using flash & everything worked fine. After that I spent some time exploring menu set-up options and played with few settings. Since then I have observed that my flash isn’t working. It pops-up properly under low light but doesn't produce any flash light. I went to menu set-up and reset all the options but still flash doesn’t flashes at all. However, it pops up properly.

Any suggestion on if I need to do anything or is going to service center is the only option now?


Thanks,
purple

Have a look in user manual and try to find a way to revert your "few settings adjustments". There should be specific instructions on how to reset the camera to it's original state.

Guys, it sounds like he already did that. Either (A) you did something that didn't get reverted, or (B) your flash took a dump and needs to be fixed. How long have you had the camera? It might still be under warranty.
