Had this flash for a month or so, and still learning it all. I normally stick my 40d in P when I use the flash but quite often it doesn't fire. The batteries are fully charge, and I believe th recycle time is just over a second. Does anyone know why iam having problems?

Opppps, wrong section. Please move to Photography

Mine did the same. It's failing.

Did mine as i didn't have the time to send it back. (needed it in ecuador a week before it failed.)

Did the fix and it's going great

Yeah, doesn't sound right. I've had mine for over a year and it's never missed a beat.

Many thanks, do you own the version 2?

It can't be the batteries as Ive got some Sanyo Eneloops 2000mah, which should be more than enough. Brand new aswell :/

My experience with flash is very limited...I have seen a flash menu on the camera itself..which looks to e programmed by the previous owner. Could that be causing problems for me?

Where did you pick up the capacitor from?

The_blue · 23 Mar 2012 at 08:32

Good question. I had to buy 5 but can't find the other 4 anywhere

I'll see if i can find where i got them

Thanks a lot, P&P is a killer! Was hoping Maplin sell them, but can't seen them listed

Yeah, i tried there 1st but no luck.

You can find singles with lower postage from china on the bay.

Thanks mate, you don't have any you want to get rid of? Anything I need to be aware of, looks straight forward.

Have you got the Mrk II version aswell?
