Flash sync question

[Charlton Vaughan]

I have an old model camera, Pentax SF10 w/Sunpak auto 266 D thyristor flash. 
 Now whether that means anything to anyone is my guess (but I'm hoping it 
does) :)

The flash syncing with the shutter is very unpredictable and I'm not sure 
what to do about it.  I have the Pentax manual but it's hardly any help in 
explaining what I'm doing wrong.  It's very frustrating to be taking a shot 
that needs light, the camera itself says it needs light/flash, but nada!  
I'm not sure if it has to do with the hotshoe or what.  On the bottom of the 
connection on the flash are five connect points.  They seem to be making 
contact.

Any suggestions?

Thanks to anyone,

Charlton



If I had wanted to put up with "high maintenance" I would have married a 
primadonna with a Harley.
