There could be 2 reasons for this. The first is the flash needs to recharge after shot. If you needed full power then it takes longer to charge.

The second thing is if you use the flash for several shots in concession then the flash may become to warm . If this happens the thermal protection kicks in and stops the flash firing while it cools . (usually around 15mins if memory serves me right) . Which means you need to close the pop up flash to free the shutter release again.

Your best using an external flashgun .

external also have recharge time about as equal to built in. Flash range is the only difference!
