Notes on continuous flashes

If you use the flash unit continuously for a short period of time, its built-in safety circuit will be triggered to limit flash firing and the flash
interval may be forced to extend.
In addition, if the temperature inside the flash unit rises further,

(overheat indicator) will light on the LCD panel to indicate that flash

firing is disabled for a while. In such a case, turn off the power switch on the flash unit and leave the flash unit unused for about 10 minutes
to let it cool down.

Continuous flashes heat up the batteries inside the flash unit. Take extra care when you remove the batteries.
