Speedlight condition
Ready to fire
Fired properly
Both the master and remote flash units
have fired at full output and light may have
been insufficient for correct exposure.
Use a wider aperture and reshoot.
The remote flash unit has fired at full
output and light may have been
insufficient for correct exposure. The light
sensor could not detect when to stop
firing in sync with the master flash unit,
because a strong reflection from the
remote flash unit itself or light from
another remote flash unit may have
entered the light sensor window.
Change the direction or position of the
remote flash unit and reshoot.
The flash mode of the remote flash unit is
set to Non-TTL auto flash on the Master
flash unit. Reset the flash mode to D,
Manual G or Repeating flash q
mode. The same is applied when the
signal from the Master flash unit cannot
be received correctly.
