Changing the settings on the trigger does not change settings on the 580exii. flash fires fine, but changes dont happen. can someone please help?

It could be the camera is triggering the flash, which is possible for Canon. Check the flash setting and make sure it's not set to trigger the flash.

I agree with Gordon Johnson. Probably you don't have the flash set to ttl. It won't work otherwise.

Typically you leave the flash on ETTL mode, and listen to the zoo as a conformation the units are Talking.My flashes are 430 exII and thats what I see, the flash screen does not mirror all the changes on the commander.

Make sure your flash is set to ettl, thats the way you can make changes.to the flash, even for manual flash.

It would be helpfull if you told us what triggers and what camera u are using. I bought Pixel King Wireless iTTL triggers for NIkon and they do not work with my Sigma EF-530-DG-Super... so you see it is not only about the Flash...

I don't seem to have any problem with synch speed of flash to shutter speed. I have used the triggers for some time now and even purchased another set for more lights. All of them seem to work fine with whatever synch speed I need. I have used a range of shutter speeds from 1/60 to 1/200 depending on how much ambient light I want for the background. I have never tried to use them with high speed synch at this point. I have two types of speedlights that are all for Canon equipment. I have a Canon 430EXII and two Yongnuo YN560II. Hope that helps! P.S. what the other two folks said also.

Actually just looking on the boards here I found out the answer. I had it set to Burst Mode in the settings because I was trying out all the features the week before. So even on the IA setting, it would not take photos with flash. I am sure that was somewhere in the manual or it might just be a known photography thing.

Apologies. I just looked at your question again. The flash doesn't fire when you take the picture? Do you have a Canon, Nikon or something else? I'm not sure, but it might make a difference. Otherwise, you should go into your menu and see if you have external flash set to on.

I use mine with a wireless trigger and it works fine. The only problem is that the flash goes into sleep mode every few minutes. It is annoying. I wish there was a way to make sure it stay awake until I shut it done.

I'm not sure what to tell you on that one. But it is a manual flash. Plug-in a trigger and take some test shots with brightness settings and you will get dialed in pretty quick. Do you have any other specific questions that you need help with?

I did not have to change any settings with my camera. Mine works great. It could be that you got one that is deffective. It should work.

Hi,The trigger can't be adjusted without modiying it as per videos from the internet. IE "how to adjust your trigger for $1.50" on you tubeHowever, be aware that if you do this you will void your warranty. I have not modified mine.

You may have a faulty mode. I had no problem setting this on nonflash but did fear your problem when I bought. Try selecting each mode slowly. If it doesn't stay it's the mode. Good luck.

You can chose channels for your flashes " you have 4 channels on the triggers A.B.C.D " and you can switch off any channels you can . But i think you can`t control the power on the lights from triggers

I have two of theses flashes and i use my SB 900 to trigger then. These units have specific modes - one for Nikon and one for Cannon. You just need to make sure you are in the Nikon mode and you should be good to go.

Hi, I have a 60D and the YN568exII. I ended up buying two yn622c triggers to make it work off camera. One in the hotshoe of the camera, the other under the yn586. I think there is a way to trigger the flash off camera using the 60d's built in flash but I have not done it. Hope this helps.

No, sorry... their on a different frequency. You can use it if you manually fire the strobes... it has a built in delay mode if you want to do that... but it will only control Pocket Wizard triggers.
