You can do a complete factory reset on it but I don't have the manual to hand......

Got it from goooogle:


Press the Mode and On/off buttons simultaneously for approx. 2 sec. to reset all settings, including the custom settings (except the distance unit selected in m/ft) to their default values.

You can do this with the camera too but it might not reset things like second curtain settings etc.

I know that when you shoot rapid-fire you do get the odd discrepancy in power outage, which results in a slight difference in flash exposure.

A reset will remedy any flash probs, although you might want to make sure the camera isn't set to some crazy bracketing mode.

Not to point out the obvious but... Low batteries?

 

[steve_lyt]

some batteries had had it , just goto to replace them, Found it by accident had to change the set of batteries, and it worked perfectly


thanks for the advice

Cheers Steve
