Oops.
Wrote to Sunpak to check on their opinion regarding use of the Auto 130 on a Canon 300D. "Don’t, no way, no how" was more or less their reaction. "It will destroy your camera" they said.
Thought I’d better update you people.
It hasn’t destroyed my camera but I have stopped using it. I’d really like to know why it could destroy the camera, though, as surely the camera triggers the flash and not the other way around. The Auto 130 itself has a sensor which shuts off the flash when the exposure has been reached so how can it harm the camera?
Does anyone have a circuit diagram for the flashgun? It should be possible to make a small alteration to prevent possible damage.
