540 flash owners, please help...

[slacker]

Hi all,

Just got myself this flashgun and curious over a "small" matter which bugs me when i bring back home and test.

Does your 540 take more than 4 seconds to be "ready" after you switch to "On" or "Wireless"?
What i mean is the LCD display will only start reflecting any information from a blank screen after turning on for 4 seconds or more?

Cos mine have this "delay" and was curious if all 540 behave the same. If so, i spare myself a trip to go back to the dealer i got it from.

Thanks all for your time and effort to feedback!

Getting an AF-540 is like Forrest Gump's box of chocolates...you never know what you're gonna get

You bet.

Anyway, just got back from the dealer i brought my flash from and get a good replacement. Thank goodness they have another set in the shop.

Nope. Just one dealer at AMK.
