I have a Vivitar 736AFC flash that I always used without any problem with my EOS Elan/100 and EOS 500 (sorry, don't know the american name ;-)a ). Tonight, I tried to use it with my 350D/XT and... nothing happened, The camera didn't seem to recognise the flash. Both were ON, I tried in different modes. Is there a parameter I should change in the camera. Or are they incompatible and I should buy a new flash (I hope not :confused: )

Thanks for your help!

I would highly suggest you get a dedicated flash. I've heard that you can screw your camera's circuitry up. Get the 430EX it's not that expensive.
