Electronic flashes provide the right amount of light required to take a clear picture at a fast shutter speed. However, sometimes the flash might not work as you expect. For example, if the "ZOOM" feature has a default setting to "AUTO," you might not get the results you need. Many flashes come with a "wide panel" feature that slides out from the electronic flash. If it malfunctions, it will need to be disabled. You can make adjustments and repair your electronic flash in a few quick and easy steps.
Instructions
1. View the control panel display for warning messages. Refer to your user manual to interpret the symbols on the display screen, then follow the suggested recommendations.
2. Switch the flash settings that are in "AUTO" mode to "Manual." Most electronic flash settings are accessible by pressing the "MODE" button and turning a setting selection dial.
3. Disable the wide panel switch if it is damaged or if the "ZOOM" feature does not work. This might occur if the wide panel is pulled up or not put back in its slot after use. Typically, a wide panel symbol and the word "On" or "Off" will be displayed beside it to indicate its status.
4. Reset the electronic flash to its default settings. Some models require both "MODE" and "LIGHT" buttons to be depressed at the same time for at least 2 seconds. Your particular electronic flash model should come with similar default setting instructions listed in your product's user manual.
