> Hi all

I have done all the right things ie: grey card on the film plane
etc..the hot shoe contacts a a bit sunken but only about 0.5mm I don't
think it's that.I forgot to add in my first mail that most times my
cobra D400 will not fire at all when on the OM4  but the T20 fires every
time full power.
HAS ANYONE EVER HEARD OF THIS TYPE OF FAULT WITH THE OM4??
