Canon t6 external flash being triggered by other cameras

[paultheic]

Hi guys

I have a canon t6, LS Photography LGG626 Flash Strobe Light 160W connected via Pixel TF-321 Pixel e-TTL Flash Hot Shoe using a sync cable.

The flash works great for my photo booth but is being triggered by other photographers at events.

I cant work out how to stop the remote triggers.

many thanks in advance!

Hi Mike

No manual i've reached out to the company hopefully i'll hear soon. It's so confusing at one event i was in a completely separate room next to another booth and their camera was triggering mine and not theirs. At another event a few weeks ago there was a photographer walking around and her camera wasn't triggering her flash but triggering mine. I have a few t6's ill try a test today with built in flash on one and see if it is anything optical!

thanks!

You were 100% correct. there was an optical sensor on the top of the strobe.

thanks so much!
