Q about the flash: Can the infrared light on these be seen when they flash?

You will not see a "flash" like you have with a normal camera.....you will be able to see the flash light up with a bright red face......maybe if you elevate it above normal eye level you will avoid them seeing it.

If you have the battery pack plugged in BEFORE you switch on the flash, when you switch the flash on the red LED will light up once. It will then light up each time the flash fires. That is the only way you can tell.

The lights are infrared so the are on but you can't see them. The brass screws are to lock it in position once you have the angle of the camera set.

You need an infrared source of light. From what I have read most flashes also generate some IR light but it is not designed. I've read you can also buy IR bulbs from various sources. You just need to make sure that whatever light source you have generates it above 720nm for this filter. You will need a pretty bright light for this to work at night. Even in broad daylight I still had to hold the shutter open for 20 seconds to get enough IR to hit the sensor. Ideally it would be cool to get an IR flash if there is such a thing.

The infrared lights illuminate red when the camera takes a picture and yes, they are visible, otherwise they are off. Its not very bright, but noticeable if you are looking at the camera. There is also a small red light on the camera indicating it is on and a green light illuminates when a picture is taken. It also makes a slight whir when it takes the picture.

The question is ambiguous. As others have pointed out, the flash is "black" infrared, so you cannot see it. Therefore, in that sense, it is not bright and in fact is not visible at all. However, it does have a remarkable output and does an excellent job illuminating the field of view out to almost fifty feet or more.

They do not flash, this is a continuous lighting system, meaning you turn the light on and it stays on like any light you have in your house.

Yes, The IR's are visible at night, the IR wavelength being 850nm. Not bright, just a dull glow as in all IR cameras with 850nm wavelength's. The night vision is very good, more like a floodlight effect. I have 2 and just ordered another one. I have 16+ cameras around my yard, this one sees the best. Hope this helps.Mike

I don't think so, it's a radio trigger only, your flash is an infrared rcvr only. You can use the ST-E2 transmitter, which is an IR transmitter

The way I'm using it (for portraits, the room is not completely dark, and I use flashes), they are ok. I have noticed a very, very minor brightness when the flash was directed at it (i.e. I was trying to make it reflective to see how it reacts), but it was barely noticeable since I was looking for it.

Hey Tim,They basically work as strobes only and not continous lights. At full blast, they get really bright. Also in less than 5seconds they can blast off again. Even though i don't take them to the extreme so i don't burn them

Mine has never flashed. There is s slight pause when it's first turned on---but that is so short that it doesn't bother me at all.

Yes.. you must to slide a little button in the superior left corner on the screen, and the flash appears

I think they have an accessory flash, but try available light, you may like yhr trsults.

No. I believe you will need special light for video, their latest flash has video lighting capabilities.

Nope! This is a flash with a relatively long refresh time. You are probably looking for an led light array for consistent light

The ir flash can not be seen at all. The subject is illuminated but they will not know their picture is being taken. Night time pictures will be black and white you will not be able to determine the color of clothing or hair but if you will know when they were there and how many there are.
