Q&A for the unit
The unit becomes hot.
When the unit is fired continuously
immediately after the [TEST/
CHARGE] button has lighted, the
batteries will generate heat, but
this does not pose any problems in
terms of performance or quality. In
cases like this, wait until the flash
head and batteries cool off before
resuming use.
I can't install the unit on my
digital camera.
Is the lock pin protruding?
You cannot install the unit on your
digital camera if this pin is
protruding.
• Turn the lock ring in the opposite
direction from [-4JII LOCK] until it
stops and retract the pin before
proceeding to install the unit on
the digital camera.
I can't select the flash modes
even by pressing the [MODE]
button.
When connecting the unit to some
digital camera models capable of
communication, you can select the
flash's mode only from the digital
camera.
The coloring of the images
differs from what I see.
Adjust the white balance of the
digital camera. (Setting to the
[AUTO] mode is recommended.)
The images are too bright.
Is the subject closer than the flash
working range? Adjust the flash
working range using one of the
operations below.
• Adjust the aperture of the lens.
e Set the flash intensity to a [-]
value.
• Use the wide panel.
The flash working range does
not appear on the display panel.
The flash working range is not
displayed in the following cases:
• When the lens has been
detached
• When bounce light photography
is performed
• When the light intensity is
adjusted
• When the ISO sensitivity or
aperture setting is outside the
range
The display panel is
extinguished even though the
unit's power is on.
Is the digital camera's power-
saving function working?
The flash is coupled to the digital
camera so that when the digital
camera's power-saving function is
working, the flash's display panel
will be extinguished.
• Press the digital camera's
shutter button halfway down to
release the function.
