Q&A for the unit
The unit becomes hot.
When the unit is fired continuously
immediately after the [TEST/
CHARGE] button has lighted, the
batteries will generate heat, but this
does not pose any problems in terms
of performance or quality. In cases
like this, wait until the flash head and
batteries cool off before resuming
use.
I can’t install the unit on my digital
camera.
Is the lock pin protruding?
You cannot install the unit on your
digital camera if this pin is protruding.
≥
Turn the lock ring in the opposite
direction from [
2
LOCK] until it
stops and retract the pin before
proceeding to install the unit on
the digital camera.
I can’t select the flash modes even
by pressing the [MODE] button.
When connecting the unit to some
digital camera models capable of
communication, you can select the
flash’s mode only from the digital
camera.
The colouring of the images
differs from what I see.
Adjust the white balance of the digital
camera. (Setting to the [AUTO] mode
is recommended.)
The images are too bright.
Is the subject closer than the flash
working range? Adjust the flash
working range using one of the
operations below.
≥
Adjust the aperture of the lens.
≥
Set the flash intensity to a [
j
]
value.
≥
Use the wide panel.
The flash working range does not
appear on the display panel.
The flash working range is not
displayed in the following cases:
≥
When the lens has been detached
≥
When bounce light photography is
performed
≥
When the light intensity is adjusted
≥
When the ISO sensitivity or
aperture setting is outside the
range
The display panel is extinguished
even though the unit’s power is
on.
Is the digital camera’s power-saving
function working?
The flash is coupled to the digital
camera so that when the digital
camera’s power-saving function is
working, the flash’s display panel will
be extinguished.
≥
Press the digital camera’s shutter
button halfway down to release the
function.
