If you fire more than 20 continuous flashes, and
then fire the flash again repeatedly in short
intervals, the safety function may activate and
restrict flash firing. While flash firing is restricted,
the recycling time is automatically set to an interval
between approx. 8 and 20 sec. If this happens,
allow a rest time of at least 15 min.
