help with flash!!!!

[snapperkid]

hey there,

i've been experiencing problems with my FL-36 flash. When I turn it on attach to the cam, the screen has the 'when not attach to camera' screen with the ISO at the bottom left anf the F(iris) next to it. But when I twist the thing to the right, it gets back to normal. When I release my hand, the problem comes back.

When I face The cam up, the problem happens. But when I face it down, it's alright. Is it connection problem or the dirt problem? Pardon me if you do not understand...

Have you try doing a reset on the FL-36 to see if it rectify this problem?

what do you mean by a reset. Sorry for my noobess....

I suspect that it is the connection problem by the way...

Ha ha ha... I think he was referring to flash as in strobe, particularly FL-36, not FLASH as in the software.

Press the mode and light button simultaneously for 2 to 3 sec will reset the flash to the default setting.

For my case the Fl-36 was alway in Auto mode and not TTL when attached to my camera hot shoe. So after I did a reset, it went back to TTL mode.
