Error 99 and strobe.

I discovered today that If i try to take a picture with the stobe turned off it sends the camera into Error 99. Am I doing something wrong or is this to be expected..

William,

I believe it is functioning properly, mine does the same.

This was an unknown error until last week. Addition of a diode to the manual controller is required for the Canon Rebel. We have started doing this immediately in production, and can add to yours if you will send it to us. Immediate answer is turn controller to lowest power setting rather than off.

Now thats interesting - I took my DRebel out today for the first time and had exactly the same problem but it went after switching off then on again. Ike - I am based in the UK - do I have to send mine back to you (got it from Ryan) or will you replace via a UK distributer ??

I`ve only had mine 2 weeks !! - if I do not return for the upgrade will the `fault` damage either my DS125 or DRebel ???

Turn the camera off for a few seconds and everything will be fine with no damage to camera or strobe.
