You can try manually releasing it by turning the

instead of the flash popping up, you just hear a clicking sound until your camera gives your an error (Err 05 The built-in flash could not be raised. Turn the camera off and on http://community.usa.canon.com/t5/EOS-Rebel/Err-05-can-anyone-help/td-p/18305 again). Solution: Your flash is stuck and needs to be cleaned. Use WD-40 (Warning: don't do something stupid. This blog is not to be held accountable for other people's negligence, haste, stupidity, or lack of research). (Note: There have been some comments about using a can of compressed air. This is a great idea and is basically the same concept of cleaning out the dust in the flash mechanisms. http://www.tutorialgeek.net/2013/02/how-to-fix-popup-flash-on-your-camera.html If you have compressed air, I would probably use that before WD-40. Both work fine though.) OK. Let me provide some more details and specifics. Please read this if you feel your camera has the same problem. I have the Canon EOS D500. The pictures and problem shown in this blog post are specific to that camera but the solution is quite general and could probably be used for just about any camera that has a problem with the built in flash popping up (obviously though, this is only onesolution there many be many problems or solutions for your specific camera). For quite some time I have had a problem with my camera. Every time the flash should have popped up, it would make a clicking sound and give me the error: "Err 05 The built-in flash could not be raised. Turn the camera off and on again." To fix this, I would just manually pull the flash up as it was trying to come up. After a recent trip to Thailand, this problem caused me to lose a few timely pictures and I came home being fully prepared to take my camera apart to fix this problem. Luckily, this is an easy fix and requ

came back with some issues. Sand has gotten in every little crack in my camera. One problem was I could hear crunching sand every time my lens would focus. Although somewhat disconcerting, this didn't affect the performance and I didn't want to risk taking apart my camera to fix that. The issue that I did need to fix was the Err 05 that occurred whenever the camera needed to use the flash. The error message This error caused the camera to freeze and be unusable until restarting the camera. A little googling led me to discover that there were two flavors of this problem. One is when the popup flash fails to popup at all. The other, which was my flavor, was when the flash would popup successfully but still display the Err 05. Both, it turns out, are caused by the same thing. There is a little spring loaded button that needs to be let up in order for the camera to know that the flash has successfully popped up. When the flash doesn't popup, obviously the button stays depressed and the error occurs. If there is dirt, or in my case sand, you can also run into the problem of the flash popping up but the little button staying stuck down. The button is just to the right of the flash if you are looking at the lens. See pics below: A zoomed in look at the button In order to fix the issue when the flash stays down, you can apply a little lifting help by pulling on the flash when you are trying to get it to deploy. To fix the error that happens when the flash pops up successfully, I took a pair of tweezers to pull the button out and then cleaned around the button. I also pushed it in and out to try to dislodge any sand/dirt particles. The little button still sticks a bit but at least I know how to fix it now. SO glad I didn't send it in for repair which would have cost at least $100 for something that took me 5 seconds to fix. Whew.
