Hi,Please make sure that you keep your shutter speed at around 150/s. Beyond that the remote might not be able to synch up.

check to see if the leds respond to your remote trigger. check your pin, connection, batteries. Finally check for aperture, iso and shutter speed.

I bought two of these, and at first they worked well. Then abruptly one of them stopped triggering, even though the screen came on, and it synced to the camera, because when I changed the camera settings, I could hear the attached flash changing its zoom setting. I tried all combinations of channels and groups, with no success. I am very, very disappointed in this product. I cannot find any way to contact the manufacturer for help. Good luck.

First, make sure the battery is installed correctly. The instructions on the sheet were not correct with mine but they did include a separate note saying that the battery should be turned opposite of what the instruction sheet said. If that doesn't work, make sure your camera is on the right setting for a remote. Turn on the camera and enter the Drive mode. Then scroll down to "Remote Cdr." and select that. My camera is an alpha 57 but I'm not sure whether yours accepts a remote or not.

I've used it with my t3i with no problem. I used the optical slave sensor. As long as it can sense the cameras flash, it will trigger.

Make sure that when you set it up for use that you go into the camera settings and enable the remote for "quick response." I've noticed that when I go to long without using the remote it enters a stand by mode and I have to re-enable it again. If that doesn't work then you might need to change the battery. Happy shooting!

Good morning, Sorry it took so long to respond; I have been on vacation. I hope that your problem was resolved. I tried my unit for the first time yesterday; and the main problem that I had was making sure to push down the button down on the transmitter and hold it there for several seconds in order for it to operate. Also where to place the receiver on the camera hot shoe in order to receive the single; had the receiver facing backwards so that it would operate. Als make sure the batteries are in correctly. Bottom line, you get what you pay for. Good luck and have a great week. Jeff

Hi Pooboo I have a Canon T3i. I bought a Yongnuo 568EXII flash. This is how you trigger your flash. Buy a Yongnuo YN622C-TX (wireless flash controller) and attach it to the camera's hot shoe. Also, buy a Yongnuo YN622C E-TTL (wireless flash trigger / transceiver) and attach it to your Yongnuo YN568EXII flash. They receiver and the radio controller communicate excellent! You can change setting on the flash directly from the radio controller that sits on the camera's hot shoe. You can research this on Youtube videos. I am very satisfied with my Yungnuo flash, radio controller, and wireless flash trigger / transceiver. Good luck! Your speed-lite photography will be outstanding with the flash off the camera!

I've never had an issue with my Canon T3i, but my laptop's card reader can't recognize it and I have to upload the images from the camera itself using Photoshop or the software that came with the camera. These cards are not compatible with every camera so check for compatibility.

Make sure your camera is in the mode to use the remote. I had a problem as well at first and then realized my camera was not in the mode for remote use.

Did you make sure the remote would work with your particular Sony camera? If so, then the next questions is, have you set your camera's drive function to the remote setting? The remote will not activate the camera if the camera is not set to remote. Lastly, the battery that came with the remote could be dead from the factory. Try a fresh battery. Hope this helps.

Mine is not working with my 6D :( I took it to the camera store and tried it on another 6D and it did the same thing, the flash will fire but the picture will still be dark. I would say on a test of 15 shots, 14 would be dark and 1 would be correct, even though the flash fired each time. We tested it on each of the modes on the flash as well as manual and auto modes on the camera, always with the same negative results. I then placed the flash back on my canon T2i and it worked perfectly on my old canon as it always did :/.

Mine did not work at all out of the box. It appeared to be a flaw with the unit not linkage to the camera. Good luck.

Check your owners manual for the specific shutter setting for remote. After you get the right setting, you may have to try different angles for pointing the remote at the "sweet spot" on the camera.

Thankyou! I haven't used my camera in several months because of this same problem. I followed your suggestions. It took a few tries, but it is now working!! Just in time for Christmas!

Like William stated make sure your settings in the camera are correct. Also make sure that there is no battery tape in the remote. Some come with it to keep the battery from discharging until you recieve it.
