sunpack flash - can i use on my canon rebel?
Hey everyone
A friend gave me a Sunpack Auto 355AF hot shoe external flash but am having trouble getting it to sync up with my Canon Rebel XT. Can they work together? Is there some secret? I know the flash works, just can't quite get it to work correctly. Thanks. Grace |

I know the flash works, just can't quite get it to work correctly. Don't know about that specific model, but i think it is a dedicated TTL flash (like Canon's EZ series). In that case it is not compatible with the E-TTL control system of your Rebel. It may still work in manual mode, but only at full blast, and you may have to use a pc-adapter to connect it (or tape over the non-compatible contacts in the shoe).
