Sounds like a poor contact problem, you may want to just buff the contact a little bit with penceil eraser. > Also, the flash is starting to act sluggish again and I am thinking of going to rechargeable batteries (NiMH). Is there anything I should know about NiMH in general? Are there any specific recommended brands of batteries and chargers? > I've been using NiMH in 540EZ and then 550EX for the past 5 years, no problem at all, but do try to get the maximum capacity units available at the time to get the most bang out of the bucks, I bought 1,600 mah units two years ago, I suspect they might be up to 1700 to 1800 by now.
