Hello everyone, First time on the forum and I really appreciate the assistance. I own 5 600 ex-rt's and I have them divided as follows: Master, 2 speedlites into Group A, 2 speedlites into Group B. I have them all on ETTL and have double-checked to...
When I shoot with my D5 MkII with the 580EX, everything looks good as long as I shoot at 1/200 or slower. It will shoot at higher shutter speeds but above 1/200, the images are 100% darker, dramatically darker. I tried this with a D5 MkIII and got th...
