Flash Not Working Properly
I've got a few of these cameras that we use for business. Over time it seems that the flash keeps failing on them. On the ones that work, I have a few options for the flash setting, on the ones that are bad it only gives me the auto and off options for flash and there's a little flash symbol with a cross through it on the upper left side.
After doing some research I attempted to replace the photo-flash capacitor but that didn't fix anything.
I'm a repair tech but I've never dealt with camera flash before and I'm not 100% on how it works. Does anyone have any idea on how I can fix this?
Esta é uma boa pergunta?
Just confirming that you replaced the photo flash capacitor with one of the same capacitance (µF) and voltage

@andrewsawesome I didn't.. I couldn't find one that matched. The camera brings a 300v 100uf cap, I installed a 330v 100uf cap.
From what I understand, as long as it meets the minimum it should be okay, correct?

Yes, as long as V is at least what the old one is you are good to go.
However, for some applications, things like ESR must be considered.
I don't have any info about that and flash capacitors.

The voltage on any cap will only go as high as the input voltage and current
