Just received the new Coolpix S8000 and it looks great. However I can't seem to get the flash to work. On the screen in is off and while pressing the rotary selector to turn on the flash nothing happens. The three other icons work but not the flash. Is there something I need to turn on in the menu. This is very unfortunate. Thanks for the help

With camera on, don't rotate the "rotary selector" -- just use your fingernail to press down at the 12 o'clock position. A menu will appear.

When you take your picture, you cannot hold the camera in the normal position, or you will be holding down the flash door. Make sure your finger is not on top of the door when you take the picture (I consider this a design
