- 1). Turn your Canon PowerShot A85 on, discharge the flash then quickly turn the camera off and remove the battery. Cameras with built-in flashes have an electrical storage capacitor inside the camera. These capacitors store energy so the flash will function properly. If touched when the camera is disassembled they can produce an electrical shock. By discharging the flash then removing the battery you minimize the amount of power that will be stored in the capacitor.
