Sigma EF500 Flash does it gona work on olympus e500

I have exactly the same problem with my Evolt E-500. Very annoying and I've tried everything, and there's nothing in the manuals to advise about it.

I had the same problem but byt turning the camera on and off while pressing the sutter button gave me the option of custom reset setting and it is now working beautifully

Check the trigger voltage first.

The Xenon flash tube in modern strobes rarely 'burns out'. I would guess that a switch that is activated when the flash pops up is not working properly. More info can be found here: http://forums.steves-digicams.com/olympus-dslr/159660-e-500-built-flash-not-working.html

you don't have to see the flash on the screen.
if the flash is on tll than he adjust itself to the camera setting

This is the model Sigma lens that would be compatible to those cameras. Zoom Normal-Telephoto 50-500mm f/4-6.3 EX DG HSM Autofocus Lens for Olympus Digital Cameras (Four Thirds System)

solve this problem

try resetting the camera back to factory defaults by putting camera in P mode, menu, custom reset

Not sure if this will help, but it seemed to fix my issue......I used a freshly charged battery. Removed both xD and Compact Flash memory from the camera. Powered on. You will see the menu flash and read that there is no card inserted. Power down. Place memory back in the camera. I can't explain my issue. The camera may have gone into a stand-by mode until the battery died and it just needed a reset? Anyway, hope this can be of use to someone. =0)
