Troubleshooting
1. The Lightning Bug Plus™ will not power on
- Try a fresh 9V battery.
- Check that the battery connector is firmly attached to the battery.
2. During the POST (Power On Self-Test), some of the LED's do not light up or
appear dim
- Try a fresh 9V battery.
- Check that the battery connector is firmly attached to the battery.
3. There's lightning all around me, but I'm not getting any pictures!
- Try pressing the LEFT and RIGHT buttons simultaneously with the
unit powered on and connected to your camera. If your camera takes
a picture once per second, the Lightning Bug Plus™ is communicating
with your camera.
- Try a fresh 9V battery.
4. My camera takes a picture when I press the LEFT and RIGHT buttons, but
I'm still not getting any shots of lightning!
- Watch the yellow lightning bolt on the Lightning Bug Plus - if it lights
up, the unit is 'seeing' the lightning flashes. If your camera still isn't
taking pictures when the yellow LED lights up the lightning bolt, your
camera may not be configured correctly. - Make sure all of your
camera settings are set to 'Manual' - the 'Auto' mode will, in many
cases, prevent the Lightning Bug Plus™ from correctly triggering your
camera.
