Tips on Speedlight Care and Reference Information

Because flash consumes a large amount of battery power, batteries
may not operate properly before reaching the end of their stated
lifespan or the number of charges/discharges as specified by the
battery manufacturer.
When installing batteries, turn off the power of the Speedlight and
never reverse the polarity of the batteries.
If the battery terminals become soiled, remove dirt and smudges
before use, as this may cause malfunction.
Depending on battery specifications, when batteries become hot, the
SB-700’s safety circuits are activated, cutting off power. This often
occurs when the flash unit is operated repeatedly. Battery power will
recover when the temperature returns to normal.
Battery power tends to weaken as the temperature drops. It also
gradually decreases when batteries are not used for a long time and
recovers after a short break following intensive use. Be sure to check
battery power and replace the batteries with fresh ones if you notice
any delays in the recycling time.
