SB-800 doesn't want to fire in bright light? Anonymous
so the other day i was using my SB-800 indoors but in an area with large, large windows that let a lot of light in

i use my flash anyway because that's just how i roll. i'm kidding, i just needed some more light and a little fill never hurt anyone

the flash was in ittl at +2/3 and it worked pretty well but then i noticed it wouldn't fire at all in some of the shots, i was like o_O what the fuck?

didn't really try to figure it out on the spot because what i was doing needed my full attention. i was in M at 1/50 and f/4

could it be the pre flash sensed that i had enough light and would not fire it? the picture still looked okay but not as well as the ones where it did fire

i tried to simulate the situation again and it fire every time, what the hell happened?

Clean the hotshoe contacts on the camera and the flash, replace the batteries and if the problem doesn't come back up, forget about it.

May be recycling.
