External flash problems

I have a sunpak auto 431 external flash that I am trying to use with my Nikon F65 and I cant seem to get the flash to work.

Ive tried it with a Nikon D40 as well, and the flash still isnt working.

Is there any help you can give on why this could be happening?

Thanks.

Sarah

Sounds like the external flash is being triggered by the pre-flash.

On the D40 set the flash mode to manual. On the F65 set the flash mode to Standard TTL.

Sunpak Auto 422D Thyristor won't flash
It should work automatically once connected properly, in case it doesn't work something is not right, obviously. Did you try it out with a different camera? That could help you in figuring out the problem.

Nikon F65 won't auto-focus or take shots Hi, My old Nikon F65 will no longer autofocus. I attach the 28-80mm lens, correctly set it to 22 and lock it in position. Check the camera is set to AF and also auto. When I press to take a shot it zooms in and zooms out to autofocus, but then doesn't take the shot. This happens in all light conditions. All I get is a flashing green LCD dot in the viewfinder. The viewfinder is also a little bit blurry when viewing. The lens is clean and the camera does the same with the 70-300mm lens I have too. I've tried adjusting the switch by the viewfinder to the most clear setting possible but still no photo can be taken, though the camera will take shots when it's set to manual. I haven't used the camera for about a year and I read on this forum that it could be due to oxidisation. Is there anyway to resolve this myself or should I just take it to a camera shop to be serviced please? Any help would be much appreciated. Cheers Ian
