[QUOTE="WayneF, post: 252856, member: 12496"] You are going to need more information about the symptoms, but ISO 100 1/100 second f/5.6 ought to be black in a dim room if the flash did not fire. Therefore, I don't think "black" is the symptom of camera malfunction. Sounds like the flash did not fire. Watch it, see if it did or not. Batteries in flash and batteries in radio triggers also have to be fresh. Batteries are always the first suspicion, but in my experience, a low camera battery does not work improperly, it just shuts down and quits. Try again, you need more information. It does not have to be in the same setting, and try to establish some information about what is happening. But you said TTL flash and radio triggers, which is an adamant no-no, it cannot work right. At best, the flash is always a constant unprogrammed middle power level, regardless if the scene needs more or less light. Which could let you think the result was varying, when the TTL was simply not programmed for TTL (TTL flash absolutely cannot work right on a simple manual radio trigger). I suspect this was the major issue. [/QUOTE]
