battery charge gets weaker. Always set the
power/mode switch to [OFF] when you
finish using the flash.
z Be careful not to touch the flash window or
sensor windows with your fingers while the
flash is in use.
z In outdoor settings in the daylight, the flash
may not detect illumination from the
camera’s built-in flash and may not fire.
z The flash may fire if another flash is being
used in close proximity.
z The flash may not fire if there are no
reflective items in its metering field.

fires for the first shot, it does not fire for

diminished, wipe the battery terminals well
with a dry cloth as the terminals may be
soiled with oil from one’s skin or other dirt.
