Hello.

In brief: I have 3 external (non Canon) flashes that behave oddly with my SX40 HS. If you have a SX40 or SX50 and a Canon compatible flash, I would like to know how it behaves. I have explained the problem in detail on this page, and suggest to put the results on the same page:

I don't think your problem is directly related to this, but just FYI, there is a known problem where having an external flash (or anything that triggers the switch in the hot shoe) mounted prevents CHDK exposure overrides from working. This happens on sx40 and other recent cameras with external flash support.
