Thermal cut-out
The thermal cut-out function protects the flash panel, flash body and
LED light from damage by overheating. This function does not prevent
the flash head temperature from rising. Be careful not to let the
SB-500 overheat during continuous use.
• The flash-ready indicator flashes slowly when the internal
temperature rises as a result of multiple flash firings in quick
succession. All operations except power off are suspended when
there is a risk that the heat could damage the flash unit. (
0 H-3)
• LED light operation is available even when thermal cut-out is
activated during flash operation unless the LED light has overheated.
• Flash firing is available even when the thermal cut-out is activated
during LED light operation unless the flash panel has overheated.
