Troubleshooting
If the fl ash unit fails to function as expected, check the list of
common problems below before consulting your retailer or
Nikon representative.
The fl ash does not charge (the fl ash-ready lamp does not light red):
• Confi rm that the batteries are not exhausted and are inserted
in the correct orientation and that the battery holder is fully
inserted.
• The unit will shut down temporarily to protect the internal
circuits after it has fi red several times in quick succession or
En
when the ambient temperature is high. Turn the unit off and
let it cool for a few minutes; if the ambient temperature is high,
move it to a cool location. Note that if the fl ash has been fi red
at full power more than 20 times in succession, it will automati-
cally shut down for at least 20 seconds to protect fl ash and the
fl ash-ready lamp will turn off ; in this case, leave the fl ash off for
at least 10 minutes before resuming use.
The fl ash does not fi re:
• Confi rm that the fi ber-optic cable is securely connected.
• Confi rm that the camera's built-in fl ash is set to fi re with every
shot.
• Check the camera shooting and fl ash mode settings.
The fl ash-ready lamp does not light green after the fl ash fi res in TTL mode:
• If the fl ash-ready lamp is lit blue, keep the targeting lamp but-
ton pressed until the lamp lights red (about three seconds) to
show that fl ash-compensation support is enabled.
• Adjust the distance to the subject and try again.
