MT-24EX Flash owners

Just wondering if anyone else has ever heard a low soft beep coming from their flash unit.

Mine is two years old and I don't ever remember hearing this before. I have to be in a fairly quiet room or have my ear near the flash unit, but there is definately a soft beep exactly every 7 seconds (I timed it).

Just wondering if any other users have ever heard this?

Can't say that I have. I'll go take a listen.

I hear the squeal as the firing circuit is charging. And then.....YES! A beep.

It repeats a few times. More frequent just after the charging is done. Every 4-5 seconds. All is normal. Never paid any mind to it. It has also been a long time since I have used mine.

many thanks for the reply AbPho.

That's the circuit charging the capacitor, it happens with all speedlite type flashes.

Yup, mine beeps constantly. It used to really annoy me, but I eventually got so used to it that I don't really hear it anymore.

I haven't noticed any such sounds from my MT-24 unit.

I wonder if it matters what AA batteries you are using?

Thanks again for the replies.
