[QUOTE="TakMan666, post: 845640, member: 69643"] I just wanted to update this rather old thread… I’ve had this issue with multiple Nikon D3500’s. We hammer them at work. Eventually it appears that the flash unit starts to go. When just taking ‘standard lots’ (work in an auction house) and using the camera on A with the little built in flash, I start to get the odd over exposure and less so under exposure (I can still see the flash going off). After many more thousands of images this on/off issue gets gradually worse, today it was taking very over exposed shots (virtually white) and then very dark images (flash still going off) and me taking perhaps 10 images to get one average exposed image. By that point the flash unit / capacitors needs time to cool and I have to wait for the orange flash icon to appear…. So that camera has now joined my shelf of spares that still work fine fully manual with studio flash lights! [/QUOTE]
