You’ve matched the channels. You’ve matched the groups. Everything looks perfect on the screen, but your flash refuses to fire. Before you blame your hot shoe or camera, check this one "invisible" setting.

My name is David Coleman, and this is my site. I take photos for a living. Seven continents. Dozens of countries. Up mountains. Underwater. And a bunch of places in between. I'm based in Washington, D.C.
This site is where I post practical photography help, tips, and troubleshooting.
All posts and reviews on this site are written by me. And I only review gear with which I have personal hands-on experience. By a photographer, for photographers. More about me.
