The light should stay on. ..could be from a dead battery, make sure to take the battery out between using otherwise it will die really quickly.

Mine arrived with a cable that wouldn't fit my T3i. I don't know if the fitting on the camera is the same for all Canons. Fortunately Vanguard's customer service was easy to reach, and they sent me a new cable at no charge--and that one works. Obviously I can't promise you a free cable, but they were very nice about it to me.

Yes. Sounds like a faulty lens. It works at all f stops. Check if there's a ton of dust in the back of the lens, but that's about all you can do. Also make sure that the camera works with other lenses at other f stops, so you're sure it's not the camera.

Haven't had any problems with my unit. Maybe going over the instructions again, making sure you have the correct model for your camera, batteries are good, and making sure cords are fully inserted would help. Also you could look at the reviews to see comments made that may help you.

What is happening that you feel the shutter is being left open too long? Are you shooting in manual mode? I know the only issue I had with this flash was cannot shoot with a long shutter because it blacks out the photo. Is that what you're having?

I'm not sure what to tell you. We use this specific one with the T3i cameras we sell. The plug should go in the fake battery and the fake battery in the place where the usual battery would go. Is that what you tried to do?

My light (green) stay's on when charging. It goes off when complete. Mine only blinks when the battery is low. It sounds as if your battery might be faulty. I never use tech support on anything. They usually know less about their products than we do!

Is likely a broken wire or dirty connection. I would try the cable on another camera. If it works on another camera, the contacst on your camera are probably dirty. If it still does not work, it's probably a broken wire in the device. A broken wire in the device is unlikely to be worth fixing outside of warranty.

When mine did this, I went to Wal Mart and bought a new battery. My camera worked just fine after that. I quess my old battery was just worn out...I hope this helps you...

I actually had the same issue. What I did was check the connection to the tail light and noticed the connection there was bad, it has to be connected very tight. I also secured the connection in the back of the radio by placing tape on the back to hold it tight in the radio. If there was any bump, it would flicker. Also, I tightned down the screws that help the camera to the license plate. Any kind of movement will cause a flicker. Hope this helps.

There is a switch on the back of the camera towards the top, above the display screen, if you switch it the flash will pop up and then it should work since there is a sensor on it, and if it doesn't work right away I noticed that if you pull the switch again (while the flash is up) you can basically toggle the flash on and off while it's in the up position. The flash on this camera is not exposed, it is a pop up, so unless the flash was up to begin with and still wasn't working, you probably just had your flash in the off position. For a better explanation you can take a look in your Nikon Manual, go to the index, and search flash. There should be all you need to know right there. Hope I helped :)

Might be defective. My first order was defective and it took a while to find out because I thought it was my camera too (Sony NEX). I returned it and got another working unit.

Same problem here! After I opened the box I charged the battery till the light turned green. Put the battery in the camera, put the film pack in, the black film cover came out (so I assume I put the film in right), turned the camera on but all the symbols are blinking and I'm not able to make a picture. After reading here I put the battery again in the charger and now the light turns orange!! But I just took it out because it was green?!?! Now I'm just gonna wait till it's green again and see if it will work. Does anyone have any others tips for me?XO

Yes I have the same issue. There is nothing wrong with the lens. It is a third party lens and is totally manual. Flip your camera to manual mode and adjust your settings. The camera will fire is this mode.

On our canon, we have to set the sensitivity until the red light on top goes out prior to turning the camera on.... hope that helps.
