15 Troubleshooting
Should the flash unit fail to function properly or meaningless content
appear on the flash unit display panel, switch the flash unit off with the
main switch
for approximately 10 seconds. Check the camera settings
and make sure the foot of the flash unit is mounted correctly in the
camera’s accessory shoe.
Replace the batteries with new or freshly charged batteries.
The flash unit should function normally again once it is switched back on.
If this is not the case, contact your local dealer.
Below is a list of some of the problems that may occur when the flash unit is
used. For each item, possible causes and remedies for the problem are listed.
Only the flash operating mode TTL can be chosen and selected on
the flash unit.
• Depending on the system, some camera models (depending on the camera's
operating mode) only support the TTL flash mode. Other flash modes
(manual M etc.) cannot be selected or activated! See chapter 7.
No maximum flash range indication appears on the display panel.
• The main reflector is not in normal position.
• The flash unit has been set to remote operation.
The AF measuring beam of the flash unit is not activated.
• The flash unit is not ready for firing.
• The camera is not in Single AF mode (S-AF).
• The camera supports only its own internal AF measuring beam.
Some cameras support the AF measuring beam in the flash unit only with the
camera’s central AF sensor. If a peripheral AF sensor is selected, then the
AF measuring beam will not be activated in the flash unit.
Activate the central AF sensor.
The reflector position is not automatically adjusted to the current
zoom position of the lens.
• The camera is not transmitting any digital data to the flash unit.
• There is no exchange of data between the flash unit and the camera.
Tap the camera’s shutter release.
• The flash unit is set to manual zoom setting “MZoom”.
• The main reflector is swivelled out of its locked normal position.
• The wide-angle diffuser folds out from the main reflector.
• A Mecabounce is mounted in front of the main reflector.
The sign for the zoom position of the reflector blinks in the display
• Warning advice of shading on the edge of the picture: The focus of the lens
(converted to 35 mm - small picture format 24x36) set on the camera is
smaller than the zoom position set on the reflector.
The P-TTL or P-TTL-HSS flash modes cannot be called up and/or set on the
flash unit.
• The camera does not support this flash mode. See camera's
operating instructions.
• No data exchange took place between the flash unit and camera.
Lightly touch the shutter release.
The setting for manual TTL/P-TTL flash exposure correction has no effect.
• The camera does not support manual TTL flash exposure correction on the
flash unit.
