I have not seen this problem.  Is the flash set in forced on mode so it is too slow taking the first photo? If you have the camera out maybe I could take a look and see whats up. I have my W80 out taking pics right now though.  I think I live 2 miles or so from you.

  What dipswitch settings are you using on the control board? It sounds like your sahutter wire is not making contact.
