Why doesn't the flash fire on my Nikon Coolpix S230 Digital Camera?
If your Nikon Digital Camera flash does not fire, it could be due to these reasons: * The flash is off, so turn it on. * You've selected a scene mode that disables the flash. * You're in D mode. * Continuous, Multi-shot 16, or BSS is selected for the Continuous setting.
