Hi,

While attending the 2006 Juno awards in Halifax on Sunday, I experienced a few problems while taking pictures with my S1 IS.

The problem that I was experiencing was, with flash on, and even with the shutter half-depressed, the camera simply would not take the picture.

This problem, obviously, was very annoying, and caused me to miss some great shots.

The red light would flash on and off on the camera, the image would be focussed, flash was on, and the shutter half-depressed, but it simply would not take a picture.

Can someone please tell me what this problem exactly is, and what it is caused by?

I would certainly like to avoid it in the future, as, like I said, I missed some great, great shots that night because of this problem :cry:

I hate to complain about this camera, as it is quite a good one, but the longer I own it, and the more I use it, the more I begin to notice its flaws :confused:

were you trying to take the pictures in rapid sequence? Because the more you fire the flash, the longer time it needs to recover between shots.

Sorry, I should have added that I was not shooting in sequence.

I was shooting at about 15-20 seconds apart, and when the flash was not on, there was no delay in taking the picture.
