Is it just my 60D, or is this not even supposed to work in Live View mode, and not be detected as an External flash for settings change?

Not your 60D, this is a manual flash, you have to set it each time you want to take a flash photo. To get the automatic camera settings you need a TTL flash.

This unit has only one contact for the hot shoe. It will fire when you press the shutter. On my 350D, it was not detected as a flash. When taking a test picture indoors, the flash fired but the shutter stayed open a long time indicating the camera was getting its exposure with ambient light. If you switch the unit to Constant On, then it is just a light source and your camera will adjust the exposure according to the light available at the moment of exposure. Hope this helps.

Hi Marina! I have a D40x, but I imagine the process is similar with the D60. Go to the main menu and choose the shooting mode settings. There you should be able to select remote. The other options available on my camera are single frame, continuous, 2 sec delay, 10 sec delay (these settings require pushing the actual button on the camera to trigger the exposure. Also, you must point the remote directly at the front of the camera as it does use infrared light to trigger the shutter and not another form of wireless. Finally, when you turn the camera off and on, the remote setting is cleared and it defaults back to single frame. Anyway...that is how it all works for me. I imagine the 60 is quite similar. Good luck! Aaron

I turned that on with my sony a7 as well, but I can't get it to work. I removed the battery film. what should I do now...

I have been trying to do that same thing. Some scenes get messed up by the auto-exposure. A couple steps down in the settings you can change how bright or dark the picture is but that pesky auto-exposure is still active. Let's hope if they ever put up another firmware update that they include that functionality like when they added the timer function.

I think you are right here. I don't believe it is a lens problem as I have see this problem across a couple of lens. I did two things that seem to make a different, the first was I completely reset all the camera setting and second thing I did was up grade the camera fireware from version 1.0. 4. to version 1.0. 9. This seems to have made a difference.

I'm habing the same issue. Have tried seeting camera to MXP and FXP and am getting lots of grainyness and aritfacts. Anyone have and solve this issue?

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.

Hi there -- this may be irrelevant, but they're asking me to communicate. I never used Canon, bought this slave to enable me to use auxiliary flash with a Fuji 3D camera. The idea is this: Most today's hi-tech flashes emit a series of light impulses to pre-evaluate the scene, the pop responsible for actual exposure (when the shutter opens) being the last one. To use an external slave flash you need either turn off all camera's pre-flashes (switch it to 'dumb' mode -- impossible with my Fuji) or use a slave that will ignore pre-flashes, such as this unit. That's why I bought it and it works for me. Try to read the manual for your Canon and see what your options are. It always helps to have a clear understanding what goes on. Cheers! M.B.

Nathan, I think it could be a firmware fix as well. I tried the continuous AF mode as well and it didn't help.

This does not work in video mode on a canon...if you press it while in video mode it takes a still image.

there is a little button on top next to the flash , it looks like a little > but the point is up right. u click it over and the flash should work if not then u have a problem. I have had mine camera for more then 8 years, never had a problem with it ., best camera I ever bought. Good luck

Remember to set the drive on the camera to remote. I have a Canon 60d and I have to set the drive to either 2 or 10 second self timer/remote. Also, make sure you're pointing the remote towards the sensor on the front of the camera, it won't work from behind. Lastly, only the top two buttons work on my Canon. Good luck!

Im sorry I have a 60d but I beleive the functionality is the same. The cable works fine I have 2 pocket wizard 2 and a flex 5 I use on of the pw2 to remote trigger the other with the cable to auto focus and shot it also helps when test the flash and syncing

I set the flash on manual mode. Is that what you are asking, if not please clarify question.

I think I have a solution. The way to fix this is to play around with the camera settings. First, set the camera to the 'P' mode on the little wheel that turns. then press menu. Scroll to the right until you come to the 'focus' setting. sroll up to 7.0m, and you shouldn't have that problem anymore. After that's done, scroll over to the REC Mode and make sure its set to 'normal. That should fix it, It was bothering me too ;)

I have a 7D. it sounds like you have your camera set on the self timer or something. Try the continuous shot. It should work.
