SX40 HS Flash does not fire.

Hi

The inbuilt flash on my SX40 HS is not firing for 2 weeks (its a 3 year old camera).

I reset the factory defaults, did a manual settings to fire in Tv mode but to no avail. Please help.

Thanks,

Meru

Canon PowerShot SX40 HS

Re: SX40 HS Flash does not fire.

Do you have a hot shoe cover on the camera?  I know on the SX50 if you slide a hot shoe cover on the flash will not fire because a small switch in the rails is activated to turn it off.  Just my thought??  Maybe the SX40 is the same?
