Troubleshooting<br />

Should the flash unit fail to function properly, switch the flash unit off with the<br />

main switch (1.17) for about ten seconds.<br />

Check the camera settings and make sure the foot of the flash unit is mounted<br />

correctly in the camera’s accessory shoe.<br />

Replace the disposable or rechargeable batteries with new or freshly charged<br />

batteries!<br />

After that, the flash unit should function normally when it is switched on. If this<br />

is not the case, contact your dealer.<br />

Below is a list of some problems that may occur when using the flash unit. For<br />

each one, possible causes and remedies are listed.<br />

No range indication appears on the monitor.<br />

• The main reflector is not in normal position.<br />

• The flash unit has been set to M -Slave operation.<br />

“TILT” appears on the monitor<br />

• The main reflector is tilted downwards for close-up or macro shots.<br />

68<br />

A battery warning appears on the monitor<br />

When the battery warning appears on the monitor, there is still enough power<br />

left for a few flashes. See also “Replacing batteries”, p. 42.<br />

There are, however, battery batches in which the battery warning appears relatively<br />

early, even though there may still be up to 50 % of the flashes still available.<br />

In the M<br />

-Slave mode, it is not possible to provide a battery warning for<br />

system-related reasons.<br />

The reflector position is not automatically adjusted to the current<br />

zoom position of the lens.<br />

• The specific camera cannot transmit any digital data to the flash unit.<br />

• There is no exchange of data between the flash unit and the camera. Press<br />

the shutter release buttonof the camera!
