Causes for misfires and solutions
1. External environment 2.4GHz signal interference (such as wireless base station,
2.4GHz Wi-Fi router, Bluetooth device, and others)—
Please adjust the channel ("CH") settings of the flash trigger (recommended +10),
find a channel without interference, or turn off other 2.4GHz devices while using
this product.
2. Please check whether your flash has recycled to full power or the recycling rate
has kept up with the continuous shooting speed (the flash-ready lamp is already on),
and that the device's overheat protection hasn't activated, or is operating abnormally.
Please lower the power ouput of the flash. If it is in TTL mode, you can try changing
to M mode. (In TTL mode, a pre-flash is required.)
3. Check whether the distance between the flash trigger and the flash is too close
(distance <0.5m)—
Please turn on the "near-range wireless mode" on the flash trigger and set
"C.Fn-DIST" to "0-30m."
4. Check whether the flash trigger and the receiver unit are running low on power—
Please replace the batteries ( 1.5V disposable alkaline batteries are recommended).
Notes
1. If the flash trigger is subject to a strong impact or vibration, it may malfunction.
2. This product is not waterproof. If it is immersed in water or placed in a high humidity
environment, it may malfunction. The development of rust on internal components
resulting from such conditions may cause irreparable damage.
3. Sudden changes in temperature, such as entering or leaving a warm building on a
cold day with the flash trigger exposed in the air, may cause condensation inside the
product. To avoid condensation, please put the flash trigger in a handbag or plastic
bag in advance to prevent sudden temperature changes.
4. Strong static electricity or strong magnetic fields generated by radio broadcast
transmitters and other equipment may interfere with the normal operation of this
product.
5. If you can’t trigger your flash or take pictures correctly, please check whether the
battery is installed correctly and whether the flash trigger's power switch is turned on;
whether the flash trigger is set to the same channel; whether the cable or hot shoe is
correctly and firmly connected in place; whether the function mode settings are correct.
6. If the camera can only shoot but cannot focus, please check whether the camera body
or lens is set to manual focus (MF) and set it to auto focus (AF).
7. If your flash trigger is triggered by other wireless flash systems, simply change the
channel settings of the trigger to counter interference.
