Sounds like your camera needs service. Mine don't do either of the things you're talking about.

Of my 5 860ii flashes, the only issue I've had is exactly what you described - the zoom failed. When it turns on it makes a sound like a gear is jammed. works great otherwise for a background light.

I agree with the above except for the difference in money the 850ii light has the lithium ion brick battery which is a bottomless source of power and faster recharge if that's important to the ...

Yes. That's till ahead of me. Just need to sit down and do it. I had my M2 set up nicely, but this one has more "stuff" to assign. Thanks!
