Sorry. It turns out that the flash is not being fired at all, in any mode. The flash will work when the test button is pressed but not on the camera. It is strange that the flash is able to sense changes in focal length and aperture. That seems to indicate that electrical signals are coming through the hot shoe. And that the camera and flash are not completely incompatible.

Thanks.

Try putting the flash into it's manual mode and see if that allows it to fire. If it does then there is a fundamental incompatibility between the flash and camera. If it still doesn't fire then it could well be a faulty flash.
