Is it possible to use a speedlight to trigger studio strobes without having the strobe itself fire? From what I've read you set the speedlight to off but even when I get the word OFF to showup the flashlight still seems to fire and to tell the truth ...
Is anyone here have seen the problem like this before and how to fix it? I tried to reset it and turn it back on but the error sign still there. It would be great if you could help me on this problem.
Hello all. I've had this unit for a little over a year, but I don't use it so frequently. Recently, I took the flash out and turned it on, but the pilot light wouldn't turn on at all. I could still configure the settings, but despite my efforts, the ...
I have a 430 exII flash and rebel xti body. How do I sync them so the camera recognizes the exposure. I've just learned about metering and it currently isn't registering it properly on my camera when the flash is used. Thanks!
I recently shot grandkids playing on a Bouncy-Slide and could sometimes get 2 flashes in the set of 6 continuous shutter triggered. Is there a way (external power source?) to shorten the recycle time so I can get 3 flashes/sec, or do I need to buy a...
I purchased a Canon Flash 430EX 11 to go with my Canon EOS 70D camera with an 18-135mm lens. The flash displays the icon confirming auto zoom only intermittenly and when it doesn't, twisting the camera zoom does not display on the flash screen. All ...
Can I set the flash to subject distance on my 600EX-RT to get f/stop?
I'm sure this has been covered a hundred times already but I've read myself into confusion on the topic. So I thought I just ask the community. I've decided that I want to redo my "location" light kit by retiring some of my portable strobes because ...
I just purchased the 600ex-rt and on day one I'm having an issue of it not correctly autozooming to the correct focal length. I have it mounted directly to the hotshoe of my 5dMkII with a 24-70f2.8L. When the lens is at 24mm the flash zooms to 70mm. ...
My speedlite 600 ex-rt flash will turn on but it won't fire. The batteries work and were fully charged so that was not the problem. It also reads that it is ready to fire but no flash. It's about 1 year old, Is the flash worn out already or can it be...
I am trying to trigger a bank of 3 speedlites (2x 580EX-II's + 580EX) by putting a 580EX-II on master with a pocket wizard, setting the other two flashes to slave, and triggering the master flash with an on camera (5Dm2) pocket wizard. When I put the...
Hi,I bought a set of Rogue color-correcting flash gels and have not used them much yet. The little I am finding on the interwebs seem to be all shooting for a fake blue sky look on a grey day. I don't want that for this shot. I just want to use a lit...
I cannot get my 600ex-rt's to fire optically with my profoto strobes. Does the 600 not have a traditional optical trigger and if so, what is the setting for it?
I am trying to set my 70D to work with my YUNGNUO 560III. However, under flash CONTROL menu on the 70D, i get an error msg that says: this menu cannot be found. How do I access my built-in and external settings on the menu without this message?
