Hi Rich,
there should be a small flash switch on the camera (at least there is one on
my XA4), which moves a small pin to release the flash button and switch on
the flash. It is not meant to switch on by pressing the button again. You
can as well remove the flash and find this switch as a protruding pin, which
is indeed a small tube , press the inner part with a ballpen or something
pointed, an your flash will switch on! Mine works fine, eventhough my orange
light seems to be defect.

Betreff: [OM] XA A16 Flash Question
Received the first of two XAs I won on *Bay. This one has the A16 flash,
which was turned "on" (button glowing orange) as I unpacked it. Button was
up and "lit". I pushed it in. Flash went "off" (orange glow inside button
went out). Now, multiple pushes on that button later, it doesn't come back
up or go on. Have I got a busted button here? A lemon? Is it fixable? At
a reasonable cost? Or should I demand a return and refund? Or am I doing
something wrong? Or not doing something right, or at all? (It didn't come
with an owner's manual, so I'm flying by the seat of my pants at the
moment).
Rich
