Handling a camera can sometimes feel overwhelming, in this post I am going to tackle the difficulties behind the Lumix G85 Flash. However, before we go any deeper, it's important to note that sometimes the G85's flash might not work as expected due to such cases, but troubleshooting is the best approach to resolve some of those issues.

QUICK STEPS: 

1. Make sure your camera is ON

2. Behind the left side of the viewfinder there is an icon "flash" switch that you simply press. Your flash should pop up in an instant.
