I found a similar thread "Flash not firing every time" but don't want to hi-jack it and am using a different camera so let me start a new thread. I'd be grateful if anyone can give me any pointers.
I have recently started needing to use flash more often than I have with my D610 in the past. I have been using A mode and closing down the aperture to give more depth of field for close up subjects and without flash light levels are just too low. The problem is that the flash only fires some of the time. I've not been able to work out the difference between the times it fires and the times it doesn't. In all cases it is set to fill-in flash and the internal flash raised (I don't have a working external flash at the moment). When it doesn't fire the shutter speed can be as low as 1/4s. When it does fire I get the predicted 1/60s.
Edit: maybe this should be in the D600/D610 section. If so can a moderator please move it.
