Yes
it only seems to fire on 1/16th when on the camera.

if i press test i go blind but when i take a shot its really dim and underpowered.

anyone got any ideas, i dont know what model it is, doesnt say anywhere, it has a AF assist light and sliders on the back, and its very big.

none of the buttons seem to change anyhting, jsut for aperture reference etc

i can post a pic if needed
 
I have a sunpac flash and as far as I can tell from reading around, attaching it to the hotshoe on the camera runs the real risk of frying the camera. That's why I haven't used it. I can't find the webpage that shows flashes that shouldn't be used with new dSLR's, sorry.
 
for reference if anyone else has this problem its a ttl only flash, no manual mode.
 
hi brad hope you see this next time your online try cleaning the contacts on both the flash and your camera could just be a bad connection
 
cheers dino, i got it to fire by covering the other ttl contacts
