Default Flash will work on film camera but not digital?
In article ,
says...

Is there any reason an "economy" flash (Achiever 630AF) will work on a film
camera but not on a digital camera. I've been told this but see no reason for
it to be so.

The destination camera is Canon PowerShot G9.

Check the voltage between the center post and the flat part of shoe on
the flash. If it's over 6 volts it's possible that it can damage your
camera.
