Troubleshooting
Flash does not fire
Ensure batteries are inserted correctly and have sufficient charge. Check that the flash is securely mounted on the camera's hot shoe. Verify the flash is powered on and that the camera is also powered on. Confirm the camera is set to a mode that allows flash usage.
ETTL exposures are incorrect
Ensure ETTL mode is selected on the flash. Check if the camera's flash exposure compensation is set appropriately. Try bouncing the flash off a surface for softer, more balanced light. Ensure the subject is within the effective range of the flash.
Flash does not recycle quickly
Check battery level; low batteries can slow down recycling time. Use fresh or fully charged batteries. Ensure the flash is not overheating; allow it to cool down if used for rapid, consecutive shots.
LED modeling lights not working
Ensure the LED lights are enabled via the flash's menu or controls. Check battery power, as low power may affect LED function. Verify the flash is powered on.
