In AUTO mode, if the ready-light blinks for approx. 3 seconds after shooting, it means that the flash has fired at its maximum output but the light may have been insufficient. (See page 40.)

—In that case, reconfirm the flash shooting distance range, aperture and flash-to-subject distance, and if necessary, use a wider aperture or move closer to the subject and then reshoot.

Replace batteries with a fresh set.

• Replace alkaline-manganese batteries (or lithium batteries) if the ready-light takes more than 30 seconds to light up.

•Recharge NiCd batteries if the ready-light takes more than 10 seconds to light up.
