Re: newbie needs some help
Check on Yougnuo website if your camera is supported for this model for TTL mode. If not, the only way to use it is via manual flash mode. Now that's an adventure!
I forgot to mention... Clean the contacts of your flash and the hotshoe contacts on the camera body. Sometimes the terminals are already oxidized that it creates a membrane that prevent electrical signals to pass through. A very, very fine sandpaper can do the job (the same one they use to clean headlights) Use with caution whenever possible and clean the contacts while the camera is OFF!

Most electrical contacts can be safely cleaned of oxidation with a Pink Pearl eraser.
