Hello,


I just ordered a softlighter with brackets from Adoroma and have an issue.


The hot shoe on the bracket is all metal and when I attemptedto insert my flash it kept firing it? A puff of smoke came outof the flash on last attempt but no apparent damage only now I am apprehensive.


Was this occuring simply because I had the unit "on' while inserting and as long as it is "off", there will be no issues?


One other thing. I used mytwo flashes in a master/slave scenario, in ETTL at 1/1, and the flashes blew out my test subject? I can manually change the settings but I thought the flash system was supposed to adjust everything automatically inETTL mode?


Thanks, Ralph
