Troubleshooting
Flash not firing
Ensure the flash is securely mounted on the camera's hot shoe or properly paired with a wireless trigger. Check battery levels and ensure the flash is powered on. Verify that the camera's sync mode is correctly set.
Inconsistent flash output
Check battery charge. Ensure the flash is not overheating. Clean the hot shoe contacts on both the flash and camera. If using wireless, check for signal interference.
Touchscreen unresponsive
Power the flash off and then back on. If the issue persists, perform a factory reset (refer to the user manual for instructions). Ensure your fingers are clean and dry when operating the touchscreen.
Slow recycle time
