Mine is stuck on strobe out of the box. 10-tap doesn't seem to work. Any suggestions on how to get out of strobe mode?

Open the rear door, remove the batteries and spray a dry silicone or WD-40 in the switch or connectors and work back and forth.. Dry ALL well...insert batteries

No, I do not know how to use as a strobe I only use as light. Could you please show me how to use as a strobe?

did you previously extracted the diffuser or the white cap on the top of the flash ? if so, try to press it until hearing a "click" or just try to pull it and the push it back until that.

First, this light is not designed to strobe. It is only on or off mode. If it is in a strobe mode then you might have internal contacts that are not seating correctly or some other physical issue with this light. I do know that some of these have tail cap click issues where they have to be screwed in really tight or the clicker will not turn on the light. Of course you can always remove the battery too. I have three of these and so far all three have functioned fine. I have bought 2 others as gifts and one had an issue of the clicker not turning on the light. Making sure it was as tight as possible stopped that issue. And, you could return it to have it replaced to. Good luck!

Double check to make sure it's not on "no flash" (lightning bolt with circle and slash through it) which you can change by pressing the circle with the ok in the middle. If that doesn't work, turn the camera off, take the battery out, and then put back in and turn on. also make sure your camera is well charged. Otherwise, get service.

Honestly I had similar combo and couldn't get the ttl to work. I ended up getting pocket wizards. I also had some issues with the triggering with these, and with my pocket wizards no such troubles.

I corrected the problem on my camera. To do this, I went to MENU, selected SETUP (third menu on left), then went to page 2. Under LCD MODE, press the right MENU Toggle button. It is probably set to OFF. Set it on the next item down which is a sqare with an A and a star in it. That sets the LCD to the Auto light mode. That took care of my problem. Now when I take a flash it doesn't get dark. In looking at the photos on my computer, the photos looked ok. They weren't dark. It is just a LCD problem. That took care of it for me. Try that one time.

Make sure your flash is set to ettl, thats the way you can make changes.to the flash, even for manual flash.

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.)

You could try to change out the battery. It could have been on it's way out. Also sometimes I have to push the button a couple of times to get it to respond. And then it's seems if the eye is in too much light it won't work properly either.

Maybe try pressing the reset button under the camera. Its a little dot inside the camera so you might need to use a needle to push it. Hope this helps :-)

Turn them off. then hold power button and wait until the lights flashes slower alternating red and blue, then it will pair. I thought the immediate quick red/blue strobe was pairing, but it is not.

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.

It's very easy. 1. Check that wireless trigger and ALL the the wireless receivers are in the same channel (this set has a 4 position switch, so check that all are on the same combination) 2. Check that the "SLAVE" interruptor is off (in the big circle, i guess it's the middle position)... So, they are going to trigger with the radio signal emitted by the wireless trigger. 3. Check that the lights are working fine. Use the "TEST" button on each strobe and check that all are firing. (I bought the kit too, but I've been having troubles with the seller... Who is your seller? Was your kit complete? Mine came incomplete, no lightstands and no triggers :( .. Thank you )

Figured it out!! You have to press the V/S button on the back of the clock. I pressed it once and something like '--5D' displayed (can't remember exactly what it displayed) and now it stays on lit all the time!! :D

Youre holding the button too long. Just hold it for like 3-4 seconds until it flashes blue. Then it should be fine
