EOS 40d flash problems

‎12-18-2012 01:32 AM

Hi! I am having problems with the flash on my EOS 40d. I get a message saying a incomp. flash or flash's power is turned off. I think this started after another photographer attached his external flash to my camera (no idea what flash he used). What can I do to fix this so I can get my internal flash to start working again?

 

Thanks!

This advice might apply:

Had that happen to my T1i, turned out the micro switch in the rails on the hot shoe was stuck. After removing the metal plate & freeing it up with a small screwdriver, it's never done it again...
