When I have flash-not-firing problems, it’s usually fixed when I clean off (using whatever’s handy, my shirt works most the time, but sometimes I may need alcohol to really scrub dirt off) the metal connection points on the bottom of the flash AND the metal areas on the hotshoe of the camera. I use my camera without a flash so often that the hotshoe and base of the flash will pretty dirty. Enough to interrupt the connection when I do connect them.

I know, this is a long link 🙂

August 9, 2016 at 7:20 am #18583Ezra MorleyModeratorYep, it’s a long link. This short link will go to the same place:
- https ://www.amazon.com/
Duracell-Rechargeable-Long-Life-Batteries/dp/B00007ISWA/ref=sr_1_11_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1470740938&sr=8-11&keywords=amazon+rechargable+batteries - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00007ISWA
If you don’t want to buy 8, then by all means, buy 4! 🙂 I would still recommend these batteries though: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00HZV9TGS They’re about the same price, and if you scroll down and compare the reviews, it might be a little enlightening. 🙂
August 9, 2016 at 8:58 am #18584Hannah MooreParticipantGreat, thanks for the link! 🙂
August 9, 2016 at 11:09 am #18587Hannah MooreParticipantOkay, interestingly, I got my flash on, and the setting was on “M,” So I changed the settings around, like I had done before but pressed other buttons, and this time I changed the “M” to “Multi” and it is flashing away,” of course I’m pressing the button, but yeah!
After all, I don’t have to order batteries, it’s just me that I needed to get fixed!! 🙂August 9, 2016 at 5:29 pm #18593Ezra MorleyModeratorGood, at least you know it’s still working! 🙂 Does it work when you put it back on M mode?
August 10, 2016 at 4:14 pm #18608Hannah MooreParticipantNo, that was what it was on before. Should it still be flashing even on that setting??
It’s a flash right? So I guess it should be flashing!August 11, 2016 at 12:45 pm #18640Ezra MorleyModeratorYes, it should definitely flash in “M” mode too. 🙁 Did you change any settings to make it stop working, or did it just sort of quit on it’s own?
September 12, 2016 at 3:46 pm #19042James StaddonKeymasterWell, everyone, this has been a great thread. If you would like to continue it, please feel free to start up another topic more specific to what you’d like to discuss. Start the topic in the PRO Q&A Forum if you’d like to continue to receive my specific input; start the topic on the General Photography Forum if you’d like to receive a broader input from everyone on the Lenspiration forums.
