I’m probably doing something wrong but can’t seem to get the flash to work with the S2. When I attach the flash, it turns on but doesn’t have an option for TTL-HSS in the mode menu. I tried resetting the flash and camera settings but still nothing. Anyone have any thoughts?
Thanks,

I saw this same thing last weekend
It is something really stupid about switching on the camera or the SF58 first … can’t remember which but it is in one of the manuals (in a none obvious place)
Good luck and will check when I get home this evening

I have been playing with this combination a bit today to see what’s what. I tried every combination I could, camera on first, flash on first, camera on then attach flash while off, camera on then attach flash while on. I have yet to find a combination where the flash will not allow me to select TTL-HSS while attached to the camera. If I take the flash off the camera, turn it off, then on again, I lose the ability to choose TTL-HSS, but as soon as I put it back on the camera, I can select TTL-HSS with no difficulty.
Well I must admit I can’t repeat the phenomenon.
All OK with me with all lenses tonight.
AM6 … is it sorted?

Thanks for looking into it but no good for me. I tried different combos but still not working. I’ll see if I can return this flash and get another one.
Hi,
Have you tried selecting different shutter speed?
BobbyHi Bobby –
Yes, different speeds, modes. Cleaned the contacts but don’t think the flash and camera are communicating properly.

I have a different problem with my 58;
It starts to develop a mind of its own and starts flashing, seemingly randomly. Problem is that unless I have it on my Quantum battery it is discharged when I go make a photo.
it will happen intermittently and disappear as quickly as it comes on.
yes, I know it makes “test flashes” from time ot time but this is different, high powered discharges.
anyone else see this?
