16 Troubleshooting
Should the flash unit fail to function properly
or meaningless content appear on the flash
unit display panel, switch the flash unit off
with the main switch
ባ for approximately
10 seconds. Check the camera settings
and make sure the foot of the flash unit is
mounted correctly in the camera’s accessory
shoe.
Replace the batteries with new or freshly
charged batteries!
The flash unit should function normally again
once it is switched back on. If this is not the
case, contact your local dealer.
Below is a list of some of the problems that
may occur when the flash unit is used.
For each item, possible causes and remedies
for the problem are listed.
