SB900 problem "HELP"

[Craig2008]

Hi All,

problem with my SB900 tonight shooting away and everything stops, can fire the camera so i take the flash off and the camera seems to be fine. The flash however, now has the Red ready-light continuously flashing, doesn't matter if the unit is on or switched off it still flashes only stops when the batteries are taken out.



help and guidance much appreciated

From nikon site

Insufficient light for correct exposure (in i-TTL, Auto Aperture flash, Non-TTL Auto flash, or Distance-priority manual flash operations): ready-lights and front lights blink after shooting

yes but this is the case even if i switch the flash off

Try putting fresh batteries in it, I have had flashes do really weird things when batteries get low
