Hey guys, after my last few photo sessions I've noticed some weird behaviour with my SB-800 on my D50 Nikon.
Sometimes, at first I thought it was random, the flash will fire when I don't press the button. I thought at first it was just possibly cycling to ensure proper charge... however I notice now that its when I move the camera a certain way. The Sb-800 has always fit a little loosely in the camera, it jiggles a bit in the hotshoe, but sometimes when I jiggle it forward, it flashes!! Am I doing something wrong? Is there anyway to fix it? Is it a hotshoe problem? It's OK because I've never been not ready for a shot, yet, but I'm sure its effecting my battery life, and its not nice when it flashes my eyes or my customers...
Any thoughts?
