p.1 #3 · p.1 #3 · 580ex II master mode does not appear to work | |
I am new to Canon Wireless (this week), so I will tell you what I have found:
1. Make sure the master and slave have line of sight to each other; outdoors, this can cause the slave to not fire more so than inside. Indoors, the wireless will bounce around the walls and signal the slave, but line of sight helps.
I have a 430EX II. When I select slave, the IR sends a red pulse out about every 2 seconds while in slave mode. This tells me I am in slave, however I do not know if this is true for the 420EX. I have read that the 420EX will only operate in ETTL mode and not manual as a slave.
I assume the batteries in the 420EX are good. Today I set up my 580/430 as master/slave and everything look good, exept I forgot to check the 580 battery, and it did not fire.
2. With the 580 master selected to not fire, it will still fire a pre-flash. The flash fires prior to the shutter movement; thus not stobed while the shutter is open.
