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.
