So... not sure you can, but once it goes below 30 percent the battery icon will start to flash to the far right side of the controls screen. Also, watch your charge light (it’s a small white rubber button below the control panel- it also serves as the manual flash release control button) - this should be firing up full blue within a second or two of starting the flash sequence. If it doesn’t in 2 seconds or less, your battery is below the charge you’ll need to not lose your mind waiting for it to fire up between shots. Batteries make a massive difference here- splurge on the good high powered device needs kind, and you’ll get hours out of this flash. Throw in some standard double-AA 8 and expect it to start slowing down after the first 10 shots. Happy capture to you!
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I bought this model of Sunpak flash based upon my experience with the brand many years ago, in the good old days of film. My son was given the 4000u for his birthday, as he has a new Nikon D3500. I asked him about any reference to battery level info in the manual and he could find none. Since this is a quality flash at a very desirable price this must be one feature Sunpak left off to make it a good entry level unit. At the risk of coming off like Captain Duh!, just keep an extra set of batteries with you. I like Duracell rechargeables. Happy image making!
