sunpak flash help
#1

I just got a SunpakMZ440AF for my Rebel XT and it is just not working. It is suppose to be TTL and all the auto stuff by my camera isn't even reconginizing it.

When I set the camera custom function for Av flash to set at 1/200sec (meaning no matter the aperture, the shutter speed will be 1/200sec with a flash), it works just fine with the cameras pop-up flash. But when I attach the Sunpak, the shutter speed is always longer.

In fact, the cameras aperture and shutter speeds are the same whether the Sunpak is attached or not. And the flashes output is really weak no matter what I set the flashes ISO and focal lenght to. But I know it is a powerful flash because the test button is like a bolt of lightning.

What am I doing wrong? Why doesn't this flash work with my camera? Is there some setting I should be using...

I want to be able to bounce and diffuse my flash... but right now, I am stuck using my pop-up flash.
