Alert Signal

A warning is indicated when any of the lamps in the illustration starts blinking. Look up the cause of the problem below and follow the procedures given to fix it.

Ready-light blinks.

If the exposure is not sufficient when the flash is fired at fu ll output, the 8 8-1 04's ready-light blinks for about three seconds to alert you immediately after the flash is fired in TTL mode. (The ready-light in the viewfinder will also blink.)

-In this event, reduce the distance between the camera and the subject, or select a smaller f-number.

+Note

Flash power may vary due to surrounding conditions - with unusually dark subjects, for example - even though flash shooting distance settings are the same. A warning may thus appear if the subject is at the far end of the flash shooting distance range but still within it.

Moisture alert light blinks.

This alert indicator blinks when water has entered the battery chamber. Operation of the 8 8-104 stops automatically.

-Bring the Speedlight to a Nikon service center to have it checked .
