When I mount a Yongnuo YN685 flash in e-TTL mode, the built in flash does not fire.
Is there a work-around?

What arrangement do you have to connect the the Yongnuo? Obviously if that unit is on the camera's hotshoe it will take precendence over the built-in one, and anyway why would you want to fire both in that configuration if it was possible? So, that leaves me with the option that the Yongnuo is in a remote location, firing by a remote connection - but what?
cheers, TREVOR

The Yongnuo YN685C is on bracket connected via a 3' E-TTL cable. The built-in flash can open completely.
I want to experiment with the 685 for bounce and the built-in for full frontal -- something I saw in a speedlite photography book.
I can probably get the same result with a diffuser on the 685.
