Happy Friday to all.

I have a Canon http://forums.photographyreview.com/showthread.php?p=413734&posted=1#30D, and just purchased my first external flash - a Sunpak PZ24X. I'm having a heck of a time figuring this thing out, and the two pages of English instruction in the "manual" is zero help.

I've only been able to get the http://forums.photographyreview.com/showthread.php?p=413734&posted=1#flash to fire once. I'm not sure if I bumped a setting somehow, or what. But I've spent three hours fiddling with it, and scouring the internet looking for tips.

Before I conclude I have a bad unit, I figure I should make sure the problem isn't between the camera http://forums.photographyreview.com/showthread.php?p=413734&posted=1#and the wall behind me.

Perhaps no one out there has this flash or camera/flash combo - but maybe someone has some general idea of what I possibly could have done or am not doing to make the flash not fire. Go easy on me.. I'm green :D
 
Did you mean PZ42X?

Only think I can suggest is that sometimes the batteries that come with it (if they are removeable rechargeable type) might need to get a fresh charge (depending on what kind they are).

You might try different batteries in it. I know, that might be an obvious thing, but thought I would mention it.
 
Yeah first thing I would check is the batteries.
