The ready-light
17
The ready-light comes ON when charging is completed.
When the SB-27 is fully charged and ready to fire, the ready-light
comes ON. Be sure to check that the ready-light is ON when
releasing the shutter.
The ready-light blinks when flash fires at its maximum output.
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.
