One of my SB800 fires randomly on my D200+grip.

Anyone know why? When I change it to my 2nd one..all is ok.

I have cleaned all contacts....and the batteries are fresh.

I got blinded yesterday when it fires straight into my eyes.

Vince, I had an issue with my d200 where it was "randomly" turning off the image on the LCD when I was chimping. It turned out I was inadvertantly touching the extra shutter button with the palm of my hand on the mb200 grip just enough to do a half press. My solution was to turn off the shutter release on the mb200 until I needed it. I'm not saying it's the same issue, but it might be and it certainly had me tricked for a few minutes.

Cheers
John

Thanks John, I might take the grip off and see it it occurs again :wink:
