| Post subject: | D90 and CST not communicating |
I just received my CST and CSRB and the CST doesn't seem to be receiving any signal from the D90. It's attached to a B1600. The D90 has the flash set to manual and full. Here is the trouble shooting I've done to figure out whats wrong: The test button on the CST fires the B1600. Which means that It's likely not an issue with the batteries or any setting on the cst and csrb. I attached an sb600 to the hotshoe of my D90 and it fires(So I'm confident it's not the hotshoe on the D90). The only problem I can think of is that the hotshoe connection on the CST is bad. I've looked at the pin on the bottom and it doesn't seem to protrude very much. However I don't know if it's supposed to. Any ideas? |

I just tried it on my D70 and it's firing. The contact point on the d70 is flush with the hotshoe but the d90's contact point is a little bit recessed. Is the pin on the bottom of the cst supposed to be springy or stationary? |

The CST camera contact is spring loaded. |

Try pushing down on the CST when attepting to take a photo. Also, are you in live view mode by chance? |

The camera contact on my CST is stationary. I tried pushing down and I'm not in live view. I successfully fired it from my D70s. The D70s' contact is flush with the bottom of the shoe. The D90 contact is slightly recessed. I think if the CST contact protruded a tiny bit more and had spring in it that I'd be able to fire it from the D90. |

If the contact is not springy, then we will need to swap that out for you. Call or email custoemr service, and they will be able to arrange for that. |
