Trouble

Possible Cause

Suggested Solution

 

 

 

When the camera is connected to a computer, and/or the camera is being operated with the AC battery charger/ adapter, a studio flash connected to the PC terminal will not go off, or goes off only once and then freezes.

Polarity is reversed in the studio flash — a condition that becomes apparent when the camera system is grounded.

You can confirm this condition by operating the camera with the flash after disconnecting the AC adapter and the computer; the flash should then operate normally.

If the plug is reversible, reverse the plug where the sync cord plugs into the flash.

Or, use a commercially available IR slave or radio slave.
