What to do if the Canon Camera Flash (Speedlite 220EX) does not fire?

What to do if Canon Camera Flash (Speedlite 220EX) pilot lamp turns off?
If the Speedlite 220EX is not used for 90 seconds, the power turns off automatically to save battery power. Press the shutter button halfway, or press the test firing button.
Why is my Canon Camera Flash (Speedlite 220EX) picture underexposed with high-speed sync?
With high-speed sync, the Guide Number changes depending on the sync speed. A faster sync speed reduces the flash range. If the subject is beyond the flash range, underexposure results. To resolve this, set the shutter speed so that the desired flash range is obtained.
Why are my photos blurred when using Canon Camera Flash (Speedlite 220EX)?
If you're using the flash with aperture-priority AE mode in low light, a slow sync speed might be set automatically. This can cause blurring if the camera is handheld at a slow shutter speed. It is recommended to use a tripod at slow shutter speeds.
