Does this use an actual flash or can it be used as IR?

this camera is an ir camera, not a white flash camera. if your question is whether it is actually a black flash or covert flash (invisible to the human eye) the answer is no. however i find that the red ir emitter array is lit so briefly that it does not spook my deer. i think because it's flash is only about 1 second long and the flash array is broken up that it does not alarm animals. a great camera, i own 3 of them.

I have only used both of my cameras on video mode.On video mode,the LEDs glow red of course for the duration of the length of the video.I have not seen these cams preform at night on single picture mode so this may not be a good answer for you......................

I used mine on video and camera. I'm not sure if it uses a flash or is IR. I do know is that I didn't have a problem with any deer being spooked on either setting. The video setting is the best proof of that. I had groups of mature bucks come right up to the camera and stay close in range for extended periods of time. I set my camera's up higher than most though I think. I feel it keeps it out of the sight better. I can't say enough good things about this camera. For the price it can not be beat. I have sold my other lower priced camera's and have bought more of these. Browning has it figured out for this price market...absolutely love the camera. I used mine on video and camera.

The flash is controlled by the camera, so yes. This plugs into the remote-control interface.

You COULD, but you'll need to have or purchase a remote trigger for the flash. There is no built-in remote trigger option on the flash itself.

Well, it doesn't support Flash, so I don't think so, however, I'm not 100% sure! : )

No, not IR only. You can test the camera shots in IR. You can set it up for motion, which will capture IR or daylight.

My own flash stopped working, but I believe the infrared lights up to assist the camera's autofocus system.

Probably, yes... BUT don't do it. There's no way to work a flash.. not even with fiber optics because they never accommodated for the pop up flash on these cameras... no room in the housing. Means you need to manually work a slave strobe.. no fun :(

You need an infrared source of light. From what I have read most flashes also generate some IR light but it is not designed. I've read you can also buy IR bulbs from various sources. You just need to make sure that whatever light source you have generates it above 720nm for this filter. You will need a pretty bright light for this to work at night. Even in broad daylight I still had to hold the shutter open for 20 seconds to get enough IR to hit the sensor. Ideally it would be cool to get an IR flash if there is such a thing.

Yes. Be sure to read your manual, but you can use your flash and anything else you want provided it's supported by the specific function.

I am using it to synchronize data between a laptop computer and an old Palm iiixe. As another respondent noted,you need software to do the sorts of things you describe. I'm not sure such software is available. The IR adapter is really like a "cord" between your computer and another device (printer,another computer, organizer,etc.)that has infrared capability. It doesn't do much more than provide an opportunity for interaction between devices. Software can make use of that opportunity.

If your flash operates using a hot-shoe connection,it should work.The flash needs to be set on manual.

I also use it for security! It has no flash and it operates on infrared! It is silent and picks ups objects in pitch dark! Great for security and well as game location!

I don't know what a SG-3IR is but if a flash go's off it will to but not a IR triggered flash.

I don't have the answer to that but the flash failed the 2nd time I turned it on and I returned it. I do not recommend buying it.

This is not a flash. This is a video LED light that has a control on the light that adjust the intensity.

Yes it is a flash unit and thus far, it has worked flawless for me...I have not had wash outs or insufficient light

I don't think so, it's a radio trigger only, your flash is an infrared rcvr only. You can use the ST-E2 transmitter, which is an IR transmitter
