Do the lights work without a camera? or do I have to have a camera to connect to make it flash?

The lights have an on/off switch. It's not like a off camera flash. So they're constantly on.

Just a sidenote to backdrop comment...I LOVE mine and never had an issue. My advice is invest in lights with a shadow box...these are way too harsh.

Yes they aren't attached to your camera. They are on at all times by switch. They plug into the wall.

Yes, the lights plug in totally separately. The backdrop of nearly impossible to hang correctly though so if you're using it in a studio space beware.

No, you don't need to buy a flash for this camera. It comes with a built-in flash. I hope my reply helps.In very dim light, you can use Voitglander Nokton 17.5mm f/0.95 lens with this camera to take pictures without flash.

I think you need at least 2 lights and 3 would be better. A fill light for the front, Back light behind the subjects and a light to highlight. One light may work in conjunction with a flash but I haven't tried that. Whatever you use, test it in light like you will encounter at the shoot.

There is no direct connection to you camera..... It's used as a "slave" Just plug it in to electrical power and any flash will set it off..... ie a studio light or your on camera flash. Keep in mind if you have what is called TTL flash or "through the lens" this light will mess up the flash exposure. Depending on your expertise in photography.... for now, don't worry about the TTL stuff.... just plug it in and fire a flash and see how nice it works..... I'll answer any follow-up questions if needed

Leigh, this is a good light meter and it is not necessary to have a flash or strobe. I would also suggest that you explore your apps on your phone as there are some very good light meters available for $2.00 or less.

The camera does not have any connection for an external flash. You can use an automatically fired flash that fires each time the camera´s flash is released.

As far as I know the camera does not need to be in any particular setting for the flash to fire. Make sure you can fire the flash independednt of the camera, that is by pressing the button on one of the triggers manually.

I'm not sure exactly what you're asking, but you typically would need an adapter to attach anything. I use these with flashes and attach using something called an umbrella swivel that has a cold shoe mount and a place to hold an umbrella. Some lights attach by fitting over the end of the pole andd then tightening a screw to lock them in place, but those have been part of the lights that I have used.

You'd probably have to do a little bit of wiring cuz mines don't. But I have wired mines to light up when you turn on the curticey light. I'm sure you can wire it to your turn signal for it to flash.

They are just lights. What camera you use does not matter. They do need to be plugged into an outlet.

The lights in this kit are on all the time. They are not "flashed" as you take your pictures.

it will work but it will not function as an 'auto' flash. everything must be done manually.

There is no flash. The lights are continuous lights and you utilize the umbrellas and distance to vary the lights.

Im assuming thats a camera. The flash has a sync cable and slave. If your camera has a sync option it should work. If your camera has a flash it should also work set in the slave position

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

Flash is included in the package, but I don't use it. In low light you get a good quality image. A processor, software, and image sensor allow you to do without flash in low light.
