Problem Possible solutions
My flash head does not turn on
and the power indicator does not
light.
• Make sure that the flash head is securely tightened to the flash holder socket.
• Make sure that the power cord is plugged into a working power outlet.
• Make sure the power switch on the back of the flash holder socket is turned on.
Picture looks bleached out
• Decrease the flash intensity.
• Use an umbrella to soften the light from your flash head.
Picture is too dark
• Increase the flash intensity.
• Use the black and silver umbrella to intensify the light from your flash head.
Using my flash does not seem to
change the lighting in a picture
• Some cameras have a pre-flash feature that fires before the main flash. The
pre-flash adjusts camera settings to suit the lighting environment. Your slave
flash may fire when it detects the camera pre-flash. Make sure that the camera is
set to manual flash mode (not pre-flash).
• Another option is to use the PC sync cable to connect your slave flash to your
camera. The camera fires your slave flash when the main camera flash fires or
when the camera shutter opens.
• Your slave flash may also fire when it detects any bright light. For example, if you
turn on a lamp or light source near your slave flash, it may fire.
The slave flash goes off too late or
not at all
• Make sure that the READY indicator has turned on before you take a picture.
• If the light sensor on your slave flash does not have a clear line-of-sight to the
camera’s flash or if the camera’s flash is weak, your slave flash may fire late or not
at all.
• Move your slave flash to provide a clear line-of sight.
• Use the PC sync cable to let the camera control your slave flash.
Camera’s flash does not seem
bright enough
• Increase the flash intensity on your camera's flash settings.
• Make sure that the READY indicator has turned on before you take a picture.
The flash head fires by itself
without any camera interaction.
• Make sure that there are no bright light sources close to the flash head’s sensor.
• The PC sync cable may be damaged. Try a different cable.
Power is on but the READY
indicator does not light.
• Your flash’s internal thermal overload protection has activated. Let the flash
head cool for 10 to 20 minutes.
