Julian,
I have had the same phenomen. It didn't just happen with my 380EX but
also with an old flash which I bought precisely to do "fill-in work"
together with the optical slave. It blocks after the first shoot.
You've to reset it back by firing it manually. Not very usefull for what
I had in mind since the flash was underwater :-) :-) The point here is
that this old flash is Canon dedicated (TTL). The 380EX does just the
same. I've read reports on the list about the same problem with other EX
& EZ flashes... it seems to be a Canon "feature" ;-)
Is there some workarround for this?
Greetings & nice weekend
Gerard.
PS: with the 380EX the problem is even worst, since the slave reacts to
the ETTL pre-flash and I get no fill-in at all!
