Spotmatic Flash Problems

I can't get the flash to go off when i take a picture with my camera.

sorry to hear you are having trouble.

before we can be any real help, we are going to need some more info. Exactly which flash are you trying to use, and on what model of Spotmatic?

Have you had the combination working before?

Have you ever had any flash working on your spotmatic? or used this flash on another camera?

try a different flash first.
try the flash on a different body next.
then try a pc to hotshoe adapter on the flash.
once you know where the problem is you'll know what you need to fix.

1 Try putting batteries in the flashgun.
2 Try putting live batteries in the flashgun
3 Try putting live batteries in the flashgun the right way round.
4 Try connecting the flashgun to the camera. Hotshoe or pc cable.
5 Try turning on the flashgun.
6 See Don's suggestions.
7 Try giving us a full description of the gear you are using and what you are doing so that we can give you sensible suggestions.
