Troubleshooting

Flash does not fire

Check if the battery is inserted correctly and charged. Ensure the flash is securely mounted on the camera's hot shoe. Verify that the flash is powered on and not in standby mode. Check camera settings to ensure external flash is enabled.

Inconsistent exposure in TTL mode

Ensure the flash is communicating correctly with the camera. Check for any obstructions between the flash and the camera's hot shoe contacts. Try resetting flash settings to default. Consider using a different flash mode if lighting conditions are very challenging.

Flash recycle time is too slow

Ensure the battery is fully charged. Using lower power settings will result in faster recycle times. If shooting continuously at full power, allow the flash some time to cool down if it has overheating protection.

Wireless control not working

Confirm that the wireless channel and group settings on the flash and transmitter (if used) match. Ensure the flash is within the wireless range (229 ft). Check that the flash is set to the correct wireless receiver mode.
