The AF measuring beam of the flash unit is
not activated.
• The flash unit is not ready for firing.
• The camera is not in „Single–AF (S)" or
„ONE SHOT" mode.
• The camera supports only its own inter-
nal AF measuring beam.
• Some cameras support the AF measu-

camera's central AF sensor. If a periphe-

measuring beam will not be activated in
the flash unit.
Activate the central AF sensor.

(see the camera's operating instructions).

bottom of the image, be fully illumina-

of the reflector.
The shots are too dark.
