That may be the problem right there if you are operating the flash at the
exact edge of its supply spec.  The nominal supply should be high enough so
that under worst case conditions and part variations it doesn't go below the
minimum required by the flash.  Running a 2.7 to 3.6 volt part with a 2.7
volt regulator sounds like a bad idea.
