This flash is very reliable with my A55, but I have encountered this problem once or twice. Make sure the contacts are clean on both the camera and the flash. A Q-tip (cotton swab) works very well to polish them, but be very careful, especially on the contact pins on the flash. Also, make sure your batteries are strong. If the red light comes on within seven to ten seconds of turning the flash on then they should be strong enough.

hi,it should work.please make sure you have fresh batteries and that the flash is making contact with the camera correctly.

it could be defective.. the flash *should* go completely off when you press the flash button..

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 do not have that flash, but I am fairly confident that it will trigger any flash. You need to have two flash triggers; one on your camera, and the other on your flash.

To use the flash, you have to manually lift it up from the top of the camera. It does work quite well though.

Make sure both are on the same channels..check settings within the camera for internal / external flash. What model camera? And the transmitter is being mounted to the shoe, correct?

I have the same kit and used it in a photoshoot I did. It works well, once all the devices are synchronized. If the flash didn't go off, as happened to me at times, a little bit of trouble shooting can be done, by reconnecting the devices again, manually trigger the flash bulbs and checking back the transmitter settings as well as the camera. Whenever that happens to me I do just what I told you and it works. The equipment works well.

It comes with a small flash that has worked for me so far. It pops out (sometimes when you rather it wouldn't) on the left side of the camera.

Ya It does that, Camera doesn't detect this flash properly, It's uses setting as if your using the camera without flash, I use it only in manual mode or slave, If you use it in shutter control mode, I will try to increase the iso and Open the apature, So Just use manual mode only.

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.

I have an A7-R and it works well. How far away are you? Was battery protector removed? Try changing battery if it still does not work.

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

The sync cable goes into the back of one of the lights. Make sure they are all set on NOR under the slave switch. Then try testing the flash with the button on top of the hot shoe on the camera. They should all fire then. I had issues with this also to begin with and had to "trial and error" it until it worked. I hope this helps.

Hi PoobooI 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 tried it on my Canon T4i. When I insert it fully into the hot shoe, the camera disables the popup flash. I can get it to work by partially inserting it, but it's kind of fiddly. There might be a setting on the camera somewhere that will change this. As it is, I would say it partially works.

Hello,Please make sure the flash is attached appropriately to your cameras hotshoe, next select a mode on the camera that is either manual, shutter priority or aperture priority. If your flash is attached to the hot shoe, it may be that you are using one of the cameras program modes that supports the auto pop up flash. You camera manual should explain this in more detail.
