Help with ys01 strobe

[deeper thoughts]

The target light stays on when the strobe fires. Is this normal? It does not seem to influence the pix.
Thnx

Look again. The target light momentarily turns off when the shutter is pressed and back on after the picture is taken.

From the YS01 manual:

"The target light turns on when you
push the target light switch. The
target light turns off when you push
the switch once again.
The target light turns off when the
strobe fires, and lights up again when
the strobe is ready to fire (when the
Ready lamp illuminates in red)."

I know but we do not see it turn off. I called Sea and Sea and they werent sure either

You got me wondering so I set mine up with the camera in Manual, 1/160 , F8 and forced flash. Camera is Olympus E-PL1.
YS01 set to TTL and cable in black port.
Batteries not recently charged.

Noticed that when recycle time was fast, it was barely noticeable but as I took successive shots, and the recycle time increased, the target light definitely turns off.
