My Yongnuo YN-568EX II for Canon is showing the flash zoom fixed at 14mm, and the M indicator near the zoom button is blinking. I can’t change the zoom setting. What causes this, and how can I fix it?

Check that the diffusion panel is fully seated back into its slot. Like the Canon flashes the YN-568EXII is imitating, if the diffusion panel is pulled out, the flash sets itself to the widest zoom and ignores any attempts to set the zoom differently.

Generated from our catalog & community — verify before relying on it.
A common cause is that the built-in wide diffusion panel is partially pulled out. On flashes like the YN-568EX II, if that panel is out, the flash automatically locks to its widest zoom setting (14mm) and ignores manual zoom changes.
Push the diffusion panel fully back into its slot and make sure it is properly seated. Once it is completely in place, the flash should allow normal zoom control again.
