FAQs

What type of batteries does the Kenro Mini Speedflash use?

The Kenro Mini Speedflash typically uses AA or AAA batteries. Please refer to the product manual for the exact type and quantity required.

What is the recycle time of the flash?

Recycle time depends on battery power and flash output level. For precise details, consult the product manual.

Can I use this flash off-camera?

Yes, this flash can often be used off-camera if your camera has a wireless flash trigger system or if you use a sync cord compatible with the flash's sync port.

Does it have TTL (Through-The-Lens) metering?

The product description does not specify TTL capabilities. This model likely operates in manual flash mode, requiring manual power adjustments.

What is the maximum flash range?

The effective range is determined by the Guide Number (GN32 at ISO 100) and your camera's ISO setting and aperture. A general guideline is distance = (GN * ISO) / Aperture.

How do I clean the flash unit?

Use a dry, soft, lint-free cloth to clean the exterior. Avoid using solvents or abrasive cleaners.

Troubleshooting

Flash does not fire

Ensure batteries are correctly inserted and charged. Check that the flash is securely attached to the hot shoe and powered on. Verify the camera's flash settings are enabled.

Light output seems weak

Confirm the Guide Number setting on the flash matches your ISO and distance. Check battery levels, as low batteries can reduce output. Ensure the flash is not being accidentally diffused or blocked.

Flash is loose on the hot shoe

Gently tighten the locking mechanism on the flash foot. Ensure there is no debris obstructing the hot shoe or flash foot connection.
