Nikon 5700 Flash problems

#1 July 3rd 04, 08:36 PM

Camera keeps on displaying the Flasing Red SB Icon when set to automatic or
manual mode, camera will not take photo. If set to self timer mode the
camera and flash will fire. If the flash is turned off from the menu the the
camera does take a picture. any help or comments will be greatly
appreciated, Thanks, Mark

the flashing sb means that the camera wants to utilize the flash but the
flash is unavailable. it apparently is not an uncommon problem with this
model and the only solution is a repair.
