so yesterday i shot a wedding. i was using my d700 with a new sb-800 and my d70 as back up with a sb-800 that is just under a year old. i first noticed a problem with the d70 and the old sb800 not firing consistently. i figured it was weak batteries, changed them, switched back to my d700 and the new flash and went about my business.
then, i started having the same issue with the new sb-800. i changed the batteries and it was better for a few shots and then went back to not firing. so then i had to bounce back and forth between the 2 flashes, letting them sit for 10mins or so and then trading back again.
i missed a lot of key shots as a result. what is also weird, is that the camera registered the flash info as 'did fire' in those shots.
i have never had this issue before and i certainly can't have it again. the older flash has seen me through about 5 weddings and several shoots and the newer flash has done at least 5 portrait sessions with no issues.
any thoughts?
thanks,
j
