Hi everybody.
Not sure if the question is appropriate in my case, but I have recently bought a used D80 from Ebay, and a Chinese flash for it. It is Yinyan BY-24ZP.
Before that I had a minor problem with my camera - non working built-in flash, which was repaired here in my home town in Armenia. Now it works just fine.
However, when I got this external flash a problem occurred. It would not synchronize with the camera in modes other than M, S, A, P.
I though it is because of the flash (well, you know, it's Chinese...), but I checked it on my friends Canon, and it worked just perfectly in all modes.
So, the question is: what could be the problem with the flash/camera? And how to solve it?
Please do not advise official repair shops, since there do not exist in my country and the closest is in Moscow... I would send it for repair there only as the last chance...
Thanks in advance for advice and support...
