Is the battery light supoosed to flash constantly? I thought the batteries were low, so I tried different batteris with the same results. Didn't see it mentioned in the manual

It might be that it's out of level, it can't be off center by 5 degrees. I can see the laser flash threw the battery indicator.

I had the same issue - according to the documentation this is a battery failure state. http://www.mobeetechnology.com/support.html?catid=15&kbartid;=28 I tried all the steps listed and was never able to resolve the flashing light for that battery. I've treated it as a failed battery.

You should see a battery shaped imagine on the left side that flashes to show that there is a battery in the slot and that it is charging...when it is completly charged the battery image will be full of black lines and it will have stopped flashing. Hope this is helpful.

I found all this quite reassuring . The display stays on and the logo in the bottom right hand corner continually flashes because i haven't downloaded the data. I'm still pleased with mine, but I would have thought todays technology would be able to provide a 'stand by' mode . 1st battery relaced after 3 months - because i thought the flashing logo was a low battery indicator ! - perhaps i'll update you in a few months !

I have 4 lights total and 2 have always worked perfectly, 1 has never worked and the 4th only ever "glowed" until last night, when I pulled it apart again, flipped switches and reinstalled batteries. Magically it seems perfect now. So, I'd suggest playing with it a bit.

I have had substantially better battery life than that with my copy and Eneloop NiMH batteries. However the flash will definitely not work in TTL mode except with a Fuji camera. Slave mode will definitely work fine, and probably manual mode as well.

Hi Nick I'm Thomas I had no problems with the light thou I only played with it for a short while(It's a gift for someone) the easy check the bube if you know for certain that the batteries are good. also stretch the springs a bit for good measure Those are my thoughts about your device good luck.

I had to press pretty hard to get it to flash, press again for a solid red, and when we were done walking, press it again to turn it off. The battery doesn't have a very long life, however. If you've already bought it, fine, but don't leave it on needlessly. Mine died about two months after purchase, and I was pretty conservative.

The first thing to do is read your manual. I haven't had this problem. I use some flash at night and some fill in flash in the day, depending on the subject matter. I use the auto mode a lot....but you may want to experiment with going in and changing you settings, and possibly your ISO settings. Again, I can only suggest studying your manual.

I had the same problem trying to use the camera in auto mode. It popped up, i think every time i turned the camera on in the auto mode, but it wouldn't fire, even in a completely dark room. Yes, the flash was set to auto. It seemed to work fine in other modes. Every camera i've run across fires the flash automatically when used in auto so i figured there was something wrong with the one i recieved.

You might be trying to use the flash too fast after using it the first or second time. It takes time for the battery powere to build up for each flash. There is definitely a lag time in between using the flash. Don't try to use the flash again with out waiting 15 seconds or so. When you push the shutter button halfway to let the camera focus before taking the picture you should be able to tell if enough battery power has built up for the next flash. I doubt your camera is defective. IOt is just matter of understandimg how it works & using it correctly.

Remove ALL batteries and put them back in...Viola! No more flashing...This technique also works when the batteries are going low and begin to flash. Be sure to dim it slightly and the battery life will be extended.

I just put the batteries in my lantern a few days ago. It seems to me when the light is off and you push the button it comes on on high , click the button again right away and it goes to low. If you leave it on high and then push the button it will start to flash.P

You aren't supposed to have flash turned on in camera, leave it off, test the light by pressing it manually. Typically doesn't work on full auto.

The other step required on mine is to turn the flash on. (Batteries must be in the flash as we'll.) You have to set the flash to determine whether or not both internal and external power are to be used.
