Have just got the above flash for my Nikon D40 and can I hell get it work.

Anyone got any ideas what simple thing I might be doing wrong??

The camera aint recognising it is there for some reason.

:help::help::help:
 
Is it the correct fitting ?
 
Will it fire off camera with a test button ?

Is there a setting on the camera that switches off flash ?
 
I think it might be time to dig a D40 manual out, if anyone has one.

I've tried the same setting on the D300 and it fires no problem and I test all the flashes using a hotshoe and a pocket wizard before shipping them out, so I'm thinking it's just a setting in the menu that's needing changed :shrug:
 
Did you try switching the slave function off? I managed to reproduce exactly the problem you're having by switching the flash to slave and then trying fire it via the camera hotshoe.

I did, tried to PM you back but your inbox is full!

Anyways, I have got it to work, apparently it does not work in auto mode but does in P mode, what is P mode?

Thanks
 
<----deleting old mail as fast as I can :bonk:

P mode is usually Programme, but I'm a man, so I haven't read the manual :lol:

Glad you managed to get it sorted :)
