Hello All,
I am new here and have just got my first DSLR, a D3200. I have been using my girlfriend's in the meantime, but I have always been into photography.
I recently ordered some tube extensions to do macro with (and they work great) and the set came with this Vivitar DR-7000 LED ring. It works alright, however, every time it flashes, it shuts off by itself. Also, it's supposed to have a mode where it stays on by hitting the "light" button, but every time we hit it, it flashes then shuts off.
Since it does flash and you can still adjust the brightness, it works, but it would be nice to keep the light on to use a longer shutter and lower ISO, especially with smaller apertures.
We've tried different batteries and looking all over the internet, but there is no information on it. I want to know if anyone has had any experience with it before I start taking it apart or calling in for a new one since it has a warranty.
By the way, here's a shot of my eye that my girlfriend took:
