The shutter will not release while the orange lamp is blinking because the

lamp goes off before taking the picture.

When you are using the flash in Macro mode, especially for wide-angle
shooting, the flash may fail to illuminate part of the subject, resulting in
uneven lighting. Always check the result on the monitor.
