Hi
I have an LX and AF280T, which I use on the camera hot shoe. About 50% of the time the flash does not fire when the shutter is pressed; Result - more wasted E6!
The camera is switching automatically to X sync when the flash is charged.
The led in the finder flashes on a good exposure and this is confirmed by the green lamp on the back of the flash.
The flash fires every time on other cameras.
I have removed the prism and gently wiped the contacts.

I'm wondering if there's a problem with the internal contacts in the camera? Anyone else had this issue and found a solution?

Thanks
Andy
