I discovered a new problem with my new used Canon A-1.
When I fire up the flash and put it on my camera in the auto mode , I don't see the ( F ) signal, doesn't appear in my view finder, like the camera isn't talking to the flash. I tried the same flash on my AE-1 P and I get the signal I should.
So I know it's not the flash. Is this a common problem ?
Thanks for your help
