Flash on Nikon D80 won't go up automatically?

13 years 5 months ago #6477 by Uplander
My flash on my Nikon D80 isn't popping up like it's suppose to. I have to manually pull up on it to get it to come up. Has this happened to anyone? I have owned this camera for a few years and know the warranty is long gone.

Any sort of help or advice would be appreciated.

Did you check your settings ? On my Sony, I can have it come up auto or manual. Possibly you inadvertantly changed the setting.

I will check the settings, but the thing about this is that I've not changed any settings. It just stopped going up?

Thanks so much for the help!

Do you hear any noise from the camera when you are pressing the flash to pop up?

If your settings are correct, this sounds like internal mechanical issue. Something I would have a authorized Nikon service center look at.

Update: I dropped camera off at Nikon service store, I'm suppose to be betting a call from them either today or tomorrow with status.

I will post up the issue they find with the flash.
