Can't figure out how to get 600EXII-RT and 320EX to cooperate

[deanadeana]

Hello,

I have a Canon EOS 6D, a ST-e3-RT speedlite transmitter, a 600EXII speedlite, and an old 320EX speedlite. The camera, transmitter, and 600EX work together just fine, but I cannot for the life of me figure out how to get the 320EX to fire. I only have one flash group, the transmitter is set to master, and the two flashes are set to slave. Please help? Thanks!

No it should not. It only fires when it sees a specially coded burst from an optical master.

I don't believe that the 320EX has a radio receiver, only optical.

Okay, great! That means it should flash when it sees another flash go off, right? I haven't been able to get that to work either.

Oh, well, that explains it. Bummer! Thanks.
