Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: I've had that problem with slaves as well!. It's most likely not broken!. It's more than likely a flash duration issue!. By this I mean that the length of time the flash is on, is too long!. Slaves are triggered by a very short duration of light!. Sometimes when the flash is used at too high of a setting, the duration is too long!. Try powering down your flash (the one that's triggering the slave) & see if it fires!. It should!.!.!. if the slave is functioning!. Next, try it with the flash (non-slaved) at full power!. Let me know if this does or doesn't work!.!.!.Www@QuestionHome@Com May be dying!. Things do that - even Wein slaves!. Have you cleaned the contacts lately!? Use the eraser on a regular pencil!.Www@QuestionHome@Com |
