Hey, so I just got a (new to me) CLE, and putting on my fully manual flash on it, I notice the hotshoe is sending a signal not only when I depress the shutter button, but also again when I wind the film.

So if I take a shot with the flash on, it will flash again and even a third time as I wind to the next shot of film.

I'm guessing this isn't normal behavior?

If it matters I'm using a Lightpix Labs FlashQ. This isn't a TTL flash, it's all fully manual. The shutter speed is set to 1/30th of a second, if that matters.
