just bought a new 7D, and am wondering if this thing is defective, or I am. I charged the battery this morning and started to get aquainted with all the features. I previously had an XTsi, and this is my first digital camera. I took a few pictures with the on camera flash, and now it doesn't work with the flash anymore. I can take pics without the flash, but when I raise it, the camera won't take a picture. I can put my 5600 flash on top, and it will work fine. Is there something in the camera menu I may have changed? I reset everything to the default settings, but it still won't work with the built in flash. Also, aren't the setting supposed to be saved when you turn the camera off? I can change the setting from "fine JPEG" to "RAW", but whenever I turn the camera off and on again it goes back to "fine JPEG". I think I got a lemon!

Sounds like you need to return it. The flash should fire on every shot when raised.
If you have the camera set to P mode the camera will reset all menu items to the default P-mode settings when you turn it of.
