using cactus V5 and canon D40

[Philiphotog]

Hi this is my first post and hopefully someone will be able to help.
I'm having problems with triggering a remote flash using the Cactus V5. The triggers seem to be working fine and the flash hot shoe works with the flash directly attached. Unfortunately the flash isn't triggered using the wireless V5. It may have something to do with the camera settings but I don't know what. Can anyone help please?
thanks

I have had the same issue at the studio with Canon users at workshops etc.

Could be settings but could also be something to do with the paint that Canon put on their hotshoe terminals which screws about with the conductivity between the hotshoe and the trigger. You can get a hotshoe adaptor on eBay for less than a tenner which solves the issue.

Can't look now as I'm at work but can look later and will post a link.
