Re: MY CAMERA'S POP UP FLASH IS NOT SYNC WITH THE SHUTTER

Hi

I had exactly the same issue after replacing the camera top cover assembly due to someone else having damaged the flash section. It seemed like the flash was out of sync with the shutter and then when it seemed to work okay, the image was underexposed. The issue was that the previous user of the camera had set the flash operation mode to "EasyWireless", once I had set it back to "NormalFiring", it works perfectly.

To get to the setting, turn the camera on, press the Flash button once to raise the flash, then press the Flash button again to get the Flash Control screen.  Then the first line has the settings for NormalFiring/EasyWireless/CustomWireless, just select NormalFiring.
