I'm confused by ETTL. Does this have a built in transmitter to speak with additional ext flashes or is more equipment needed?
1540735
Yes, It can be a master flash. and is able to control compatible flashes. It's optical control the same that comes in Canon 580 EX II. Its not a radio transmitter.

I was confused as well. But yes more equipment is needed to use as an off camera flash. the ETTL function just allows the flash and camera figure out the exposure for you. I got the Yongnuo YN-622C transmitters and they work great. You need one for every flash unit you want to trigger and one for your camera. Or for on your camera you can get the YONGNUO YN-622C-TX E-TTL transmitter, which allows you to quickly change your flashes settings. Helpful if your camera doesn't have a wireless flash control setting built in.

First yes it has ettl but it has to be on the camera. If you want ettl to work off camera then you need a tranmitter on your camera that transmitts ettl and a receiver on this flash that receives ettl. You can set up this flash as a slave,meaning another flash will make this flash yn568ex go off without having any receiver on it. But it will not be ettl. It is ,I think, supposed to speak to ext flashes if they are built to do this. Don't have another yn568ex to do this yet. Hope this help DM

I don't have that particular flash, but if recievers and transmitters are on the same channel the flash should fire. If you have a simple transceiver the flashes will not recieve any of Auto (TTL, HSS, etc) functions from the camera. They will have to be set manually. Another option is to use the built in optic trigger. There is some control from the camera but is limited to line of sight.

First make sure everything is on the SAME channel and GROUP. You have to make that change on both the TX and the N's. Then make sure your flashes are in TTL mode themselves - they always have to be in TTL mode for the communication to work.

You need a transmitter on the camera and a receiver attached to the flash. To fire the flash with a sync cable you need a cable that has a hotshoe on the flash end and something that attaches to your camera's sync system. I don't know how many TTL features are retained when you go off camera.

Yep. You need two of these, one on-camera and one on the flash. Does a pretty nice job of transmitting ETTL data.

It's only got the center pin on the bottom of the trigger so it doesn't do TTL. The receivers do have all the pins for TTL but they don't work. I got a cable that did TTL and that gives me 10 meters of distance and it works with the TTL on both flashes.

Set everything up (flash connected to NPT-04 receiver, everything turned on), and then hit the test button that's on top of the transmitter. Does the flash fire? If it does, then the transmitter is talking to the receiver, and the receiver is talking to the flash. So the problem is the camera isn't talking to the transmitter. You didn't say what camera you're using. On my Sony cameras, "wireless" is for using the pop-up flash to control and fire other flashes. You can do wireless TTL, and use the pop-up flash to be the "commander". That's what "wireless" flash mode is. Obviously that's not what you're doing. So change it to rear or fill flash mode, and see if that works.

Hi Irish, Let me break into the options you have. 1. If you do not use the cable then the transceiver needs to be in the hot shoe so it can trigger all the others. 2. Connecting the cable you can use any other transceiver to trigger your camera and all the other transceivers you have. There are 3 "versions" for the Nikon. N1, N2, N3. The only difference is the cable to the camera. So when you have the right cable for your camera and you need more transceiver then just go for the best price. I got 7 of them so having a friend drop by. Then all he needs to do I put one in the hot shoe and we share the light. Or if connect the cable we can do the exact same picture but just from another angle. Yeah, I'm having fun with them. I found this on Youtube showing how it works http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LrGeQhTEN5A

HiI own this flash Trigger. They are both recievers and control units. I have 4 and it doesn't matter which one I use for sending or recieving. They work great. Hope this helps. Chris

The transmitter is designed to be "worked through" whether it's turned on or off. I have used this system on my Nikon D3200, D300 and D70s. When the transmitter is turned off the flash unit works as if the transmitter is not there. When you turn the transmitter on, and the flash fires, it sends a signal to the receiver unit. The nice thing about this system is that you can set as many as 4 different external/remote flash with each one on a different frequency or set it to fire off 2, 3, or all 4 units at the same time. I have used this system to fire two flash units on one side of a ball room, then when I am on the other side of the room, turn those off and set the transmitter to fire off the remote flashes on the other side of the room so I not taking a photo with a flash firing off in my line of vision. The triggers have never failed. When I set up to shoot any kind of session or job I made sure the batteries are OK & working with lots of power. The only problem I have had with the receiver & transmitter has been the on/off switch. When you put the units away make sure they are off. There have been times when the units were turned on as the on/off switch brushed against the side of the case foam material. I solved the problem with a small piece of gaffers tape placed over the switch. I have recommended this specific transmitter/receiver system to many photographers, professionals & casual camera users. Good luck with your purchase.

no, you can't, you need buy a speedlite transmitter ST-E3-RT. after you buy that, you can control with transmitter.

Yes. It includes a transmitter that works with canon (manual not ETTL of course)
2166659
No, Ray, this ring flash will not support Canon E-TTL wireless. It has no infrared receiver and is not designed to be used off camera. The only way I can think of to use it wirelessly would be to use with separate wireless flash trigger (transmitter and receiver) such as Pixel King Pro or Yongnuo YN-622C.

NO. This flash is full manual, no CLS, TTL, or High-Speed Sync. But it is built like a brick. In a good way. There are (all of a sudden) a bunch of third-party manufacturers building products that have Nikon or Canon's proprietary TTL technologies built in. I don't know about other manufacturers, but I know this: everyone is using the Yongnuo brand flashes and digital controllers. They fit right in with your existing Nikon gear, and while they aren't built as well as the LumoPro, they are around $100/ea, so if it breaks, get another one. Or three. At these prices, you really can be like Joe McNally and have a bucket of speed lights. Here is the flash on Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/Yongnuo-YN565EXN-USA-i-TTL-Speedlite-Warranty/dp/B00I44F59A/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1428023722&sr=8-2&keywords=yongnuo+nikon+ttl Make sure you buy the latest version. When you view the page, you will see the wireless triggers in the accessories pane. Hope this helps.

Yes. Fully ETTL compatible with all Canon EOS cameras including T3i. It's a GREAT speedlite for a fraction of the cost of the equivalent Canon version. The only feature missing is High Speed Sync. You won't miss it.

The Yn560III will NOT do ETTL, on your Canon or any other Canon camera, it is strictly a manual flash.

They are Transceivers, meaning they both Transmitt (TX) and Receive (RX). They come with all necessary cables and adapters for your chosen camera model. One can be placed in the hotshoe of the camera with a cable (included) to the Shutter port on the camera and another can be used to remotely trigger the camera while simultaneously triggering other flashes in the group (assuming you have more than 2).
