How can I get it to default to steady (no flashing)? That's the mode I need 99% of the time.

Pretty sure you have to cycle it through all modes every time unfortunately

To my knowledge, there is no way to keep it at one mode. Every time you will need to scroll through the different modes until you get to the right one. This is one reason that I was so upset that it is a 5 mode instead of the 3 mode as advertised because you may have to press the button as many times as 5 just to get the light to be on the mode you want.

The button on the back not only turns it on and off but controls the way the light works. You should be able to push it and it should give you a steady light beam.

it should not be flashing as default, it cycles through through the settings as you click. goes like this : high-medium-low-strobe-SOS-repeat so if you just turn it on and off again, it should work

Well, the mode will not change if dropped or shaking. It has to be manually press at the end switch. However the lens for the flash light will become loose if dropped too many times. You have to super glue it or no zooming (in or out).

No, you can't; nor can you turn the lights to a steady on..they just flash randomly.

In program mode if you turn the flash off it stays off! In auto normal mode if it is dark & you go to take a picture & the flash doesn't pop up, there is a malfunction!

I don't know why it keeps flashing. Mine flashes once when I turn it on, then that's it. Wish I could be more helpful.

My lights do that, too, and I read the instructions. If you push the mode switch, it will continuously run thru the 8 modes. You can't just pick one out of the 8. I like the way they keep changing, but I suppose if you just use the on button, you could get a steady light.

You can't. There aren't any drivers for it and it only changes color specifically when you change the dpi, then it starts flashing again.

as far as i'm conserned, it goes only to automatic mode. it decides by itself when to use it. although, it can be switched off. i usualy don't use flash.

Hi. Just push the menu button until it reads A1, A2 etc. until u get the color you wish. The color selected should remain constant without the flashing. Linda

HI I 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.

Illumination is full-time as long as power is supplied. I haven't yet figured out how to prevent it from alternating between deg F and C.

you can make it flash or or be constant , you just have to click over and over again until you have what you want ... one click turn on , another will turn it off , clicking again will turn it on on another mode ...

In my experience the camera has to be held very steady. I usually set the camera on something solid like a table or balcony rail or use a small tripod. I even use the shutter time delay sometimes so that I don't jiggle the camera while pushing the shutter. Oh and make sure the flash is turned off. It usually takes me a few trials with different modes. JP

It sounds like it is going in pause mode. Try just holding power button until see green light then let go. The only time mine flashes is in pause mode. If it is flashing in pause mode just click the power button one time and the light should stay on steady. Hope this helps.

No I would definitely say that isn't normal if its just in that mode. If its fine in other modes then its a settings issue.

No, but you can set it to flash, and then steady shortly after. That's your best option in terms of safety.

Mine does the same thing and it works perfectly - my suggestion is don't worry about the lights - also, sometimes you have to give the system time to change so don't be in a big rush - good luck, I really like it.
