problems with 550ex

N707JT · 20th May 2004

Hey guys

Just wanna check out, when your 550ex flash retracts (that inner thingy that moves), does it make a 'tak tak tak' sound?

I have noticed that my friend's 550ex is almost quite quiet as compared to mine.

I was wondering if it could be a faulty gearing system inside (if it ever exisit)?

Thanks!

Should be gear faulty...
Go canon for a checkup...

There will still be sound during zooming.. unless yours is more louder and sound so unnatural as compared to your friend's 550EX. If you are unsure, bring it to canon for checkup.
