Troubleshooting

If the built-in wide-flash adapter is broken off accidentally

If the wide-flash adapter is subjected to a strong impact while set on the flash head, it may be broken off. In this case, visit your nearest authorized Nikon service center for repair.

If the wide-flash adapter is broken off, it is no longer possible to set the zoom-head position to anything other than 14mm. To adjust the zoom-head position, refer to the Custom Settings “Zoom-head position setting if the built-in wide-flash adapter is broken off accidentally” (p. 52).

Note

The SB-600 incorporates a microcomputer to control flash operations. In rare cases, the SB-600 may not work properly even after fresh batteries are properly installed. If this happens, replace the batteries while the SB-600’s power is turned on.

Warning

Batteries should not be exposed to excessive heat such as strong sunshine, a fire, or the like.

Dry batteries should never be recharged in a battery charger.

Do not expose the SB-600 to water as this may result in an electric shock or cause the unit to catch on fire.
