First of all, hello everyone! This is my first post here, and of course, it's one that makes me feel like a total n00b. Anyway, there's a girl renting (to buy) my Canon EOS Rebel T1i, I hadn't used the camera in awhile before letting her go off with it, I'm positive everything worked perfectly, the problem is I've gotten used to my other camera and have completely forgotten how to use the T1i.


Can anyone help me with this? I guess what I'm basically asking, how can she make it use the pop-up flash?

Google has failed me on this one.

    Here's page 62 of the Canon manual:

    You just press the flash button. That pops up the flash. If the flash is up, it will fire. If not, it won't. You can close it by pressing down on the plastic top of the flash.

    Well when the flash button is pushed, the flash doesn't pop up. What can I do about this?

    If it's a failure I believe that there are couple of likely causes, and both require sending the camera in for repairs.

    I think that your money would be better spent on an external flash instead. At least that could serve more purposes and potentially carry forward on later bodies.

    Do try switching modes to see if the flash pops in either the Green or "P" modes.
