[QUOTE="Eyelight, post: 310915, member: 24753"] This won't fix it but may help show if there is a problem. With camera in manual mode, set the shutter speed to 1/400. Open the flash and the shutter speed should drop to 1/200. If it does not drop, could indicate the camera is not sensing the flash is open. If while shooting, it does not flash, immediately check the shutter speed. If the camera loses the signal that the flash is open, it will revert back to the manual speed set before the flash was opened. If by chance you catch the shutter speed changing between 1/200 and 1/400 with the flash open, that would certainly indicate a problem. [/QUOTE]
