SB700 Hang

<p>After using SB700 for few months with my D700, I am very happy with it<br>

But, last two days when I am shooting a group photo session<br>

The shooting flow is in this way<br>

When the people organized, then I will take 3 shots, the interval of each shoot is about 3-5 second<br>

Then change another group<br>

When I shooting the 4th group, my SB700 not fire <br>

I tried turn the power off, the red light still on<br>

I change the zoom of my lens, the info behind the flash no change at all<br>

Then, because of the critical time, I pull out my SB700, and put on my SB800 to continue<br>

After I finish all my shooting, about 20 minutes later, I check my SB700<br>

The light still on, <br>

I check the tempreture icon behind the flash, it show low<br>

I have to open the batteries cover to disconnect the join of the batteries <br>

Then I close the cover again, SB700 able to shoot again<br>

After sometime, it hang again...<br>

I did not shoot continuous with the SB700 and each shot interval should be atleast over 10 second, and I did not shoot every 10 second as well...<br>

Is this the over heat issue? Or my SB700 defect....</p>

<p>Check to make sure you have the latest firmware. If you do, try doing a reset. If you don't, upgrade it and try again. If the problem persists, I would contact Nikon tech support... you may have to send your flash in for service.</p>

<p> </p>

<p>What type of batteries are you using? Could be a problem with rechargables or dying batteries. Try a fresh set of Enegizer, Duracell or Ray O Vac - non-rechargeables.</p>

<p>Otherwise - sounds like a trip to the repair center - if firmware is up to date.</p>
