I put a new external flash on my camera a DSLR300 today...it is compatible with the T3...however my camera is throwing an error code saying it is incompatible or the power is not on.
Clean the contacts in the hot shoe with an eraser and try again
SOURCE: Internal flash not working because of non compatible flash installed
Solution:
Look at the external flash socket.
With the camera in "normal position", i.e., poiting away from you, you shoul see a very small (I realy mean very small) piece of plastic under the rigth inside of the flash shoe... it is the "external flash sensor". It probably is stuck. Work with the point of a knife to try and release it.
In more detail, if you look carefully at the external flash shoe, the are two metal pieces that will help create some pressure. So the flash holder (shoe) is made of two parts: a very rigid one and the metal blades that create the pressure. Look under the blade located nearest to the shuter button.
If you can locate the plastic piece (black in my camera, but can be white) try to have unstuck.
Worked with my camera.
