How do you turn the strobe off? I want to use the regular flash light.

I just turn the flashlight off when it is in flashlight mode and it then restarts in flashlight mode

Just lightly press the button on the end. It will change from strobe to SOS to dim to full power. If it clicks, you have pushed it too far.

By clicking the on off button quickly. 2 clicks for a medium, 3 clicks for the lowest setting, 4 clicks for a strobe and 5 on offs for the SOS. It really stinks that they give no directions.

You have to cycle through every time. To get to dim, you have to turn the flashlight on and hold the power button down, it will go to medium then dim. Strobe you turn it on, then off, then on again within a few seconds. Wish you could set the brightness but you can't.

When I say strobe, think of a strobe light. When holding the flashlight button down, it would flash at a high speed, instead of staying on solid.

The light will turn on/off/strobe with a push button activation on the side. If you leave it at on or strobe and put it in the holster it cuts off until you pull it from the holster and then it activates to the mode you had it on.

Yes the strobe has switchable salve triggering, and it can be turned off or on. And yes you can use your on camera flash to trigger the strobe with no problem.

Negative, it's strobe on or strobe off. No further adjustments available, great flashlight though.

Yes, you can turn the flash off. It also has different settings for the type of flash you might want.

I have same problem, I took a flash light and shocked it at night to turn off then when lite was removed it seemed to reset, been working for a couple of day now, i have 3 of them 2 work great all the time one is exposed more to street lights and another porch lite, it seems to be effected by it. Im going to try a cover over the eye with an exposed end towards the sky.

I wish I could tell you. I would also like to know how to "turn off" the stereo and not have the lights start to flash. The only solution I came up with is to unplug the device.

That is not normal. If it's in the return period, return it as defective. Otherwise, if it's under warranty see if you can get it replaced. If you can't return it or get it replaced, does it show the same behavior when it is set as the master as well as when it is set as a slave (assuming it's in slave mode when it triggers on its own)? You should try all the different settings on the strobe to see if it will work properly from at least one setting or combination of settings that might make it useable.

There are two settings..constant and strobe. If the light has been off a short time a single button push will put it in constant mode, if a second button push is immediately given the light goes into strobe mode. Turn of the light by another button push, wait a short time, push the button and the light is back in constant mode.

After you turn the flashlight on, press the on/off button slightly to toggle between different modes. If you press too hard it will turn the light off.

It does have the strobe function, but there is a way around it... You don't have to cycle through all the modes if you don't want to, there is a tactical mode available... With the flashlight off, just press and hold the button for a second or two and the light will come on full bright, when you let go of the button it will turn off. Or, in high mode, press and hold the button for a second or two and then release, the flashlight will go off without having to toggle through the strobe setting. If you press and hold in low mode, the light will turn to high mode, and will shut off when you release the button. It does have the strobe function, but there is a way around it...

Get off of Auto. Shoot in Program mode, and you can use fill flash. Set flash to "always on" in Program. That is "fill flash." Turn it off when you don't need it.

The answers are yes and no. It is on only as long as you press the switch, and there is no strobe setting on this model.
