Troubleshooting
Flash does not fire
Check that the batteries are inserted correctly and have sufficient charge. Ensure the flash is securely mounted on the camera's hot shoe and the camera is powered on. Verify flash sync settings on the camera.
Flash fires but is underexposed or overexposed
In TTL mode, check camera exposure settings. Ensure the correct camera brand compatibility is matched. In Manual mode, adjust the power output. Clean the hot shoe contacts on both the camera and the flash.
