10d built-in flash not working

[kbhagat]

Hi all. I just got my 10D today with a Tamron 28-200 lens. I can't get the flash to pop up while taking a picture in low light. I was wondering if it could be the lens.. Any help for a newbee to the 10d would be great

If you put it in creative zone (P, Tv, Av, M), you have to hit the flash button.

Go to automatic mode, fully automatic mode, and in low light it should pop up.

I have the same lens, so its not the lens. Love the lens. Disregard all negative comments on this board about it.

I did have it on Full auto, and the ISO did not go to auto, and neither did the flash pop up.

Bring it back to the seller; seems defective.

It seems stuck in the Av mode. No matter what mode i **** it too. Not sure if there is a way to reset the camera. bummer.....

Yep... I have to send it back. I called Canon tech support, and the 10d is not doing any thing execpt Av mode. Oh well... RMA # and hope to get a new one soon :(

Sad ..... :(

I have the same damn problem with the built in. I just got the 10d USA warranty. The flash worked fine, pops up, fires, red eye.. then now it doenst fire. it will pop up but no firing in any mode,...what is the master reset code? or are people refering to the menu drivn reset feature.. is there a hard key reset, like hold a button down and turn it on? this is so frusturating. my lens is a USM 28-135III IS... HELP! I HATE WHEN THINGS DONT WORK! lol...
