Flash

Hi I have a Pentax ist dl. My on camera flash stopped working, is there a setting in the menu where you can turn it off and on. I used it with an external flash and since then the on camera flash will not work Thanks

If the flash is popped up, it should fire. No direct menu setting to force it on, I believe.

Depending on your setting, it may not fire if there's enough ambient light. Are you below sync speed?
