I own a Panasonic Lumix TZ5 model digicam. It worked perfectly fine until recently when it wont click any pictures in the auto flash ON mode.The flash symbol is constantly blinking red.















It clicks pictures only when the flash is Forced Off. Sometimes an error message also pops up stating Please turn off and turn on the camera again. I also upgraded the firmware from Version 1.1 to 1.2 but of no use. Kindly help.

It's either that your batteries are low and cannot charge the flash or there is an actual issue with the camera































Before you start sending it off:















1. Insert new batteries















2. Reset to default settings















3. Turn flash forced on; or take a picture in a really dark place with the flash on auto































If that doesn't work check that your camera is still under warranty(1 year basic grantee). If it is still under the Panasonic 1 year warranty you will have to phone them(turn around is ~1-2weeks). If it is covered under a extended warranty you will have to contact the store from which you bought it. (Even if you took a extended warranty, you must contact panasonic directly in the first year)
