Canon 650d - Flash Busy Error

Hello Experts,

I have recently picked up an hobby of photography, I have purchased used canon 650d camera from my friend. it was working fine. but after couple of days I noticed when I am trying to click a picture in dark area, the flash shutter opens quickly but doesn't fire the flash - Flash Busy error is displayed on LCD.

Can somebody explain me how to fix this issue, I have researched the whole internet but couldn't find the right solution I hope someone will understand and help me.

Lots of love and blessings on your way.

Regards,
Good heart

Canon EOS Rebel T4i (EOS 650D / EOS Kiss X6i)

Re: Canon 650d - Flash Busy Error

Welcome first time poster.   I don't have time to check at the moment and I don't have your camera, but there may be a way to change the flash setting in the menu.  Check the internet to see what changes you would have to do in the menu.  Or you may have something in the settings that automatically cause it to flash when it is too dark.  I seem to recall that I disabled that in my cameras.

It's probably broken

Flash can sometimes burn out, i think this is the case here.

Otherwise it would be user error, checking the manual would help with that.
