Nikon SB-800 instruction manual Display of the amount of underexposure

vIf 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 camera’s viewfinder blink for approx. 3 sec. Depending on the camera in use, the ready-light on the SB-800 or in the camera’s viewfinder lights up. To compensate, use a wider aperture or move closer to the subject and reshoot.
