See my post made at the same time. I think that was the problem for this instance. I had to force it back & forth a couple of times and now it works ok.

I didn't word the first part well. Even in MF setting it wouldn't fire at all. But I found the problem for that little glitch. The MF/AF switch is VERY tight and although it said MF it acted like catch in focus was on. After having to mightily force it over AF then back to MF it worked fine with the MF lens and the flash down. I wonder if his teenage daughter (Primary user) had tried to manually focus with an AF lens on the camera and bound something up in the screw drive that locked it into AF until I forced it loose.
I'm going to take a look at the flash problems when I get home this evening.

I have a friend with a GX-1L with a strange problem. It seems that it will fire the shutter only when in focus with the indicator even when in AF-S with a manual lens. And when the flash is popped up it won't fire at all and will never show the focus indicator. He's brought it in to work with a MF lens so I can't check it with AF until the evening but he says that it will not try to AF if the flash is up. I suspect that something may be fried in the flash system that interlocks with AF. Any ideas?
