Warning
functions
In
the TTL or non -TTL automatic mode, both the ready-
lights
on
the flash unit and
in
the camera's viewfinder
blink for 3 seconds after the flash unit fired at its maxi-
mum output, indicating that the light might have been
in
sufficient for correct exposure.
In
this case, check the
subject distance and if
it
is out of the automatic shooting
range, use a wider aperture
if
po
ss
ibl
e or mo
ve
closer to
the subject. Becau
se
the voltage of batteries decreases
with u
se,
the guide number might al
so
be
reduced slightly.
The
flash output of the 88-16 depends
on
the available
ambient light and the reflectivity of the subject. Note that,
becau
se
of the
se
fa
ctor
s,
the ready-light may blink
to
indicate that the light output was
in
sufficient for correct
exposure, even if the subject is within the auto shooting
rang
e.
Other warnings shown
by
the ready-light's blinking vary
according
to
the type of flash unit and the camera
in
u
se.
