In what way is the LCD panel damaged?
The various letters, numbers, and icons are all screwed up (for example, the zoom settings read numbers like "188" and "C8" and stuff like that, and it's impossible to tell what mode the flash is in). Also, when you first put batteries into the flash, the back panel lights up and the capacitors charge up, even if it's off, but then it refuses to operate. Once you take the batteries out and put them back in, the flash discharges at full power as soon as you close the battery cover (I learned that the hard way...ouch), even if the power is off. > P.P.S. Can you tell me if the Sigma EF 500 Super emits an AF assist beam > when you use the "Green Square" Auto mode? Yeah, it looks like the AF assist is there for green box mode. --Alex * **** ******* *********************************************************** * For list instructions, including unsubscribe, see: * http://www.a1.nl/phomepag/markerink/eos_list.htm ***********************************************************
