Thermal cut-out
The SB-700 features a function that offers protection against damage
to the fl ash panel and body from overheating. This function does not
stop the fl ash head temperature rising. Be careful not to let the SB-700
overheat during continuous fl ash use.
A temperature warning indicator appears when the temperature •
of the flash panel and body rises as a result of the flash being fired
numerous times in quick succession.
If the temperature continues to rise, the thermal cut-out indicator
•
appears and all operations are suspended before the heat can
damage the flash panel and body.

Wait until the SB-700 cools down. •
Operation can be resumed once the warning is no longer displayed. •
On rare occasions, the thermal cut-out indicator might appear or •
disappear without the temperature changing depending on the
zoom head position. This is not a malfunction.
