My flash won't turn off! The pilot light just keeps flashing. I eventually just take the batteries out. Any suggestions?

I had a similar problem trying to use it with a PANASONIC FZ200 (not sure what camera you have). Some reviewers claim it worked okay with their FZ200 but never worked correctly for me. I had to remove batteries to stop the LED flashing. I tried thre different units and gave up.

Buy a better grade of battery, like Duracell. Personally, I think the flashing LED gives the unit more authenticity and would definitely use it. For one thing, if nothing else, it draws attention to the unit itself, which is what you want in the first place.

The flash only works if there is not enough light - automatic. However, there is a menu in the camera, and I see Lamp Setting which is on when you get the camera, but you can turn it off.

HII bought 2 sets and have the same problem. There is a button on the back you can push to change the setting, but I think there are a million settings to go through. I seemed to push the correct number of times for one set and it is on without flashing so I know it works, but the other one I never go to work and I heva tried everything. Good luck.

You may have a defective unit. My plugs into the flash and powers the flash each time it discharges. There is no on/off switch. The power switch on the flash should activate the battery pack. If it does not check the batteries in the pack. If you have fresh batteries in the pack and no power is flowing to the flash, then their is something wrong with the unit. Be sure to check that the batteries are aligned properly in the pack.

Get rechargeable batteries, best piece of advice I can give you. You'll make your money back in no time flat, especially if you're using the flash often.

I dont know! I had mine with the same problem. It seems like the switch got broken because it feels kind of loose compared on How it was before. Mine It also got water inside. Did your flashkight got water inside too? I have not tried to fix it yet.

Really? You held the button down until all the lights had blicked in a row (top down then possibly down up) and then a final "flash" or two before going back to green? This really should stop it. Please try again and let me know. Thanks a bunch. (Huie D.)

If the light is blinking then the blender is not secure. I would detach and try again. I wish I could help more but mine burned out after 2 months of use. The light would come on but the motor wouldn't start. Best of luck.

Mine works fine.hold down the middle button until it starts to flash really fast,but have your device searching at the same time.make sure that your glasses are charged.hope that i could help.

When you hold the strobe button for long enough, it stays in strobe, if you have tried clicking the large button and it's still in strobe and won't stop, you may have to remove the battery and wait thirty seconds and put it back together. If that doesn't work you may have gotten a lemon, talk to the distributor and or manufacturer and try to get it sorted. Sorry for your bad luck, I have abused the mess out of mine and it still works like a Swiss watch.

I haven't used mine with flash but it has been erratic w/o a flash. I had to go back through the start up procedures and reset the frequency twice. Seems to be ok now. Oh and I replaced all of the batteries just to be sure.

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.

What is happening that you feel the shutter is being left open too long? Are you shooting in manual mode? I know the only issue I had with this flash was cannot shoot with a long shutter because it blacks out the photo. Is that what you're having?

I read of others having this problem and there is a flash button. However, it only seems to give the option of using the flash in lighting that may not read on auto flash.
