I have SB 700. When I use the trigger, how do I get the flash to accept setting from the trigger in manual?

it works very simply. You make sure the odin receiver is set to the proper channel and group. Then you go to the Odin Transmitter and change that group to manual mode and set the power level. You don't do anything to the flash other than making sure it is setup correctly for TTL. You don't put it into commander or wireless modes...

You have to leave the switch on the SB-700 set to TTL all the time. Then you set the Odin controller to manual and adjust however you want.

Your flash should always stay in full automatic (TTL), to manually control the flash output, change the group on the phottix trigger to M by pressing SEL to pick the group and then MODE to change it to M. When you have the group in manual mode you can select the output strength with the -/+ buttons.

If your flash has a hotshoe it will work. It won't send TTL information, but that doesn't bother me as I shoot so much in manual anyway and like to be in control of my exposure.

I'm thinking you mean SB800? but yes, this flash as two slave modes S1 whereas it fires by any strobe light it detects. Then there is S2 where it should fire as a dedicated strobe when the SB800 is set on Master(RPT) mode. I can not attest to what the distance range is going to be. Your probably better off using the XTD260 to fire the SB800. To be sure contact the manufacturer. Hopefully they will know more than the fool who wrote the manual that comes with the unit.

No, it's a manual flash. you have to set the output of flash manually. It should trigger the flash when you press the shutter release, but it will only fire the settings that you manually set on the flash. Hope this helps!

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.

Sony uses a proprietary hot shoe so they can milk you for more money. You will need their overpriced adapter to mount a standard manual flash or triggers.

No, the SB-28 was designed for older film cameras and operates in Manual or the old Auto mode where the flash determines exposure, not the camera. It is not TTL compatible, but you can still use it with the SC-28. For TTL flashes (SB-700, etc), the SC-28 works in TTL mode just like on -camera. Personally, I use manual flash modes a lot anyway for repeatability and better control.

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?

By default the flash is automatic. It might be helpful, as the others say, to go to the 'thunder' sign on the Function's Circle on the back of the camera to set it and turn it on. If the flash doesn't work turned on, then it is a manufacturing problem and you should contact the seller and/or Cannon.

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.

Invest in Yongnuo transceivers to triggers (available in Canon and Nikon flavors.). If you get one YN-622-N (N is for Nikon, which I assume you are shooting) for mounting to the speedlight, and then get the YN-622-N-TX for the camera, you will be able to control your flash output from the camera on any TTL capable flash (e.g., Sb600 or Sb700). When the speedlight is mounted inside the softbox it is a pain in the butt to change the settings when in Manual Mode. In TTL mode it is not as big an issue.

You can use it either way. You can buy radio triggers (an additional item) or you can use the built in optical slave (S1 or S2 mode); An optical slave requires another flash to trigger it.

Incorrect. You must have a radio transmitter trigger on your camera, either built in to your master flash or a transmitter mounted on the camera's hotshoe.

The short answer is yes. Set one trigger on transmit and the rest on receiver mode and press the middle botton and your should get the flashes to fire.

I read of others having this problem and there is a flash button. However, it only seems to give the option of using the flash in lighting that may not read on auto flash.

Yes, but you will need 4 YN622N units. You will need a YN622N on the camera and one on the SB-24 to control the flash. By putting the YN622N on the camera you will not be able to use the commander function in the D7000 pop-up flash to control the SB-600's. You will then need a YN622N on each SB-600 flash. Good luck.

I am using inexpensive triggers from cowboy studio. The trigger should be universal to fit in this hot shoe adapter and the receiver will depend on the brand/mount of your flash.Take a look on these links:CowboyStudio NPT-04 4 Channel Wireless Trigger for External Speelights with 1 Trigger and 2 Receivers (NPT-04+extra receiver)http://www.cowboystudio.com/category_s/460.htm
