I had what sounds to be the same problem with my LX a few years ago. Put the flash on the hotshoe, in either TTL or manual mode, and the camera (in auto mode) would light up the red LED by 1/75 indicating that a dedicated flash was present. But then - it would not trip the flash and it would not

Actually, you could have used a little smoke to set the ambiance a bit. It has a look of a student ensemble as opposed to a professional band playing out. I would have liked to see a bit more of the guitar, one or two steps back would have done it. On the plus side, it looks like you're getting
