 p.1 #1 · 7D does not trigger pocketwizard! help!! | |
Hi folks- I am extremely new to photography and this board. I recently purchased the Canon 7D and am running into issues with Pocketwizard plus II, MiniTT1 and FlexTT5. The issue is that in some apertures ( above f/5 in most lenses) and certain focal lengths ( this one varies and I could not narrow it down but it only happens with L series lenses as far as I can tell!), the camera does not trigger any of these PW devices. I have even changed the mode in TT1 and TT5 to “ trigger only” so they act as a trigger without any data from the camera/ lens and still am running into the same issue.
I am using this set up with studio lighting. I also downloaded the latest firmware last night and still have the same issue.
Has anyone else experienced this with 7d? Pocketwizard is telling me that they are in the process of developing a new firmware for 7d and I understand that there might be a firmware issue with these devices in the TTL mode but why do they not work in the simple trigger mode consistently (or why does the PW plus II does not work in all focal lengths and aperture) ?
I do not have any of these issues with external flash- 580 EXII. PW devices work flawlessly with my 5D MKII.
Hope this post makes sense!
