Instruction: Answer the given question using the supporting document.

Input:
Question: Does the flash automatically pop up when needed. I noticed it did not flash during Christmas pictures while other cameras in the same room flashed.
Document: First the card and battery compartment. The batteries are not secured as in other Nikon cameras, therefore you have to force the cover down to  close it. I am not sure how long the cover is going to hold up.Second is the flash, It does not pop up when needed, the camera tells you to raise the flash.
I've tried every setting and unless the subject sits still it's very hard to prevent the blur, especially when the flash is not in use.Using the flash decreases the blur considerably, but natural light is often more attractive in pictures.I'm very disappointed in Nikon for this camera, I expected a lot more for this name brand. They were like the Chevy of cameras, but not anymore with this camera.
Love Nikon and bought this as a small point and shoot to take pictures of our baby (our DSLR is hard to lug around). Returned after one week. Every photo without the flash was blurry on almost every setting. Form factor was nice and flash photos turned out well but simply didn't have the reliability and ease of use we needed. Going to try the Canon SX510 next before just reverting back to cell phone camera:(
I needed a P&S camera that has macro capabilities and a photo zoom, yet is light weight and easy to handle. Before digital cameras came out , I was a NikonF2 user; but these days I don't want to lug a heavy camera around. When I was shopping for a camera, I read that reviews of the L620 and was concerned about the reported short battery life. However, using it for over a month now, I can't understand what the complaints were about.
Nikon makes excellent cameras and I was not disappointed with this one. I wanted quality in a compact digital camera. I love the zoom which is much better than my old digital camera. The pictures are of high quality and the camera is easy to use.
I have been happy with the overall functioning and quality of pictures of this camera. It has a lot of different options for picture taking...at times seems to be little difference but I am still tinkering with it and learning how to apply them. My husband is dissatisfied with the reaction time between depressing of shutter button and capture of picture. As said, good camera for the price. Wasn't prepared to move up to the &#34;next level&#34; in cameras.
Bad !!! Now outside and no flash pictures are great and fast. Just thought after reading all the reviews on this camera - &#34;all rated it great&#34; -  that I wouldn't have a problem like this with this unit !!! !
The battery does die fast. But it works great. Only problem is you have to hold real still to NOT take a blurry picture. Other than that, the pictures look great. I rarely have to turn the flash on! -that part was impressive!
It takes time to save the picture onto the memory card after each shot. The highest setting takes the longest and lower settings are faster. The flash is fast - it will go as fast as the pictures will. So the speed is not affected by the flash. It takes pictures at the same speed - whether the flash is up or not.The zoom is good, but not great. I was hoping for a greater digital zoom.
This is a quite simple to use and quite capable camera for a great price. It takes very good pictures. As long as you have some sense of how cameras work--or are willing to learn--this camera will do it all. The optical zoom is superior, the ease of use of the controls is wonderful. This is Nikon quality--and they hit the ball out of the park with this one. Only someone who expects unrealistic things would be disappointed with this camera.
Answer: There is a switch on the back of the camera towards the top, above the display screen, if you switch it the flash will pop up and then it should work since there is a sensor on it, and if it doesn't work right away I noticed that if you pull the switch again (while the flash is up) you can basically toggle the flash on and off while it's in the up position. The flash on this camera is not exposed, it is a pop up, so unless the flash was up to begin with and still wasn't working, you probably just had your flash in the off position. For a better explanation you can take a look in your Nikon Manual, go to the index, and search flash. There should be all you need to know right there.Hope I helped :)
