Make sure youre not on silent mode. Flash doesn't work on silent.

I just got a new black gx7 today and charged the battery and set it up the way I thought I wanted it, for example I set it to raw and electronic shutter, etc. I then went to the menu/rec/flash and found that it was grayed out. I thought perhaps the flash had to be in the up position but that didn't work either. I reset the camera to default shipped settings and the flash was still grayed out as was the setting for turning on the electronic shutter. The manual doesn't deal with this so I need some help. What am I doing incorrectly? TIA.

Thanks!  That was it.  It also seems that after turning silent mode off I again had options in terms of the electronic shutter.
