Nikon Speedlight SB-600 TTL Flash

SB-600 Ready Light Won't Come On When Mounted on...

posted by AlanRab on Dec 11, 2007


Got a new SB-600 yesterday. Fired it up with fresh rechargeable NiMH batteries. Got the flash ready light. Attached it to my Nikon D-40X camera. As soon as I powered up the camera, the ready light on the flash as well as in the viewfinder do NOT illuminate, ever. The flash seems to work okay, but while mounted on the camera, the flash ready light never illuminates.

Is there a fix for this, or is this "normal" behavior when coupled with the D-40X?

I think I found the "problem." One of the 'fresh' batteries had failed. New batteries solved everything.

Just make sure all four rechargeable batteries are properly charged and functioning.

Check that all the batteries are functioning properly, and that they have been inserted in the proper direction.
