Ok. I took the batteries out of the camera over night but the next day there was no difference.

Anyway, I purchased an IR trigger system, so now I can use all my flashes with no cables. I have also emailed...

I'm not sure if I can put links in, but this is what I'm referring to. My best advi...

Advice for photo shoot
Using the basic equipment you have..... Stick a diffuser on the flash, don't have one ? put the panel down.,take them outside, preferably in the shade as dslr's like to blow out in sunlight with a nice natural background, use av mode on around 100mm f5.6 to soften any background yet any less and you wont keep the group of 3 sharp and press the button. Ideas, a old country house or mansion ne...

Christine, maybe you didn't realise what kind of site this was and how much experience many of the photographers here have about scams and rip off merchants in the business.
