v If the ready-light blinks after shooting, the light might be
insufficient for correct exposure.
In the TTL auto and Non-TTL auto flash modes, when the flash has fired at its
maximum output and underexposure may have occurred, the ready-lights on
the SB-800 and in the cameras viewfinder blink for approx. 3 sec. Depending
on the camera in use, the ready-light on the SB-800 or in the cameras
viewfinder lights up. To compensate, use a wider aperture or move closer to
the subject and reshoot.

same time the above ready-lights blink.
