The pilot light doesn't light at all and the flash hasn't yet flashed. I have a Canon 30D. Are there settings I need to change on my camera to make the flash work? thanks
This may seem dumb to ask but have you made sure all batteries are fresh (even new ones can be bad), they\'re inserted correctly observing polarity and the contacts are clean in the flash? (You can clean them using a clean, dry pencil eraser and a Q-Tip dipped lightly in alcohol.)
Also, try mounting the flash on your camera, turn both on and reset your camera to factory default settings through your camera menu settings.

No. First the Canon 199 was designed for the Canon camera, and the electronics are very different in the Nikon. Two the 199 was designed for film and the digital metering is completely differnt for digital. Buy a Nikon flash.

Check the contacts on both the camer and the lens. I usually clean mine with methylated spirits or isopropyl alcohol. I have to do this every 3 months or so as dirt or even oils from your hands can stop the contacts from working properly.
