If you shoot 20 images with flash at short intervals, the flash might stop operating. This is to protect the flash unit. If you press the shutter button halfway and “DbuSY” is displayed in the viewfinder (and [BUSYD] on the LCD monitor), wait until the display turns off. You can then use flash again.
