Chris,
Hopefully, new batteries will solve your problem. Try 357's, they work well
for me. S76's seem to go south pretty quickly for some reason. 357's
usually last at least 6 months with decent use on my 4 and 4T.
If it's still more, perhaps you can contact the dealer in Edmonton and get
the matter resolved.
What was the other flash you used? Was it a T-series compatible flash?
Some of the older flashes on the market (Vivitar 283) have very high trigger
voltages that might possibly damage some circuits. However, I doubt if this
is the case.
I still come back to batteries. Good luck, hope someone else can offer an
additional bit of help.

Now here is where it gets weird. After removing the flash I found that
the otf metering would no longer work. In auto mode the shutter doesn't
sync up to the indicated reading on the lcd. If you were to spot meter
in auto then the shutter does sync at the indicated time but, if for
example the sutter speed is very slow, the shutter will not release when
the camera is pointed into direct light or if the apperature is opened
right up.
What happened??? Am I scre*ed? the fair is over and the dealer is
already on his way back home to Edminton!
Could it be that I have the wrong batteries in the camera, I was given 2
duracell a76 button style batteries.
Any help would be appreciated.
