AF-360FGZ flash not firing on my K10D?

Sometimes my flash will not fire. I generally use it on PTTL setting and with

the camera on P or green mode. Sometimes the problem occurs on Aperture

priority. Am I setting this thing up incorrectly? It seems that the sequence

of when I mount it and turn everything on may be a factor.

 

Any suggestions?

make sure your flash is completely charge,but it supose to recharge very fast after shooting and it supose to fire all the time to.May be your contact between the flash and the camera its not tight enough but will be surprise if its the case,i suggest a technician take a look.

You might try swabbing the terminals on the hot shoe and flash with diluted (say 33%) rubbing alcohol. I've never had to pay attention to what order I assemble things with my 360fgz and *istD.

 

I assume you're locking it down?

Thanks for the feedback. I put fresh alkalines in the flash and re-mounted it, taking great care to line it up cleanly and lock it down, and now it works fine. Must have been the batteries. I was using rechargeables and they were low.
