Re: stuck external flash detect button

Outstanding ... the external flash detect button was indeed the problem. I just "bowed" the little metal strip so that it did not engage the switch, and problem solved! Thanks everyone!!

( Again, thanks to the people on this forum. Before I posted here, I emailed Canon USA, and their response? First suggestion: Push the flash button while in P, Av, Tv, or M. Really? Never thought of that! Second suggestion: make sure you battery is not dead. OK. If that does not work, send the camera at my expense to a service center in distant city, wait two weeks, and they will try to fix it, again at my expense. So I'm glad I posted here!! )
