Wireless on 5600HS

[Nick80]

Dear All

Would appreciate if someone can help me with this. Can the wireless mode on the 5600HS be used with on manual mode (instead of TTL)? Set-up would be two 5600HS on Manual Mode, with the built-in flash on 5D/7D as master? Thanks.

regards
Nick

can... just set your D7D as Flash : WL mode.

then set your 5600HS as WL also, press mode, den WL : on (i think... no camera or flash with me now) then set the flash to manual, 1/32 1/16, 1/8, etc...

if i am not wrong, can set 2:1 with the 2 flash also... anyway, i dun have 2 flash to try...

remember to face the IR receiver facing the camera body. or visible to the camera body's flash

I am quite sure about this... the 7 confirm have ratio flash... the 7D has not such option in the flash menus...

Hiee..

Yes, you can do manual mode flash power control with the 5600HS(D)...that is what i normally do . To avoid variations in lighting if i handhold my camera for a shoot - not on tripod. So metering will not change and resulting in change in scene......which then result in different final light. SO usually i set to manual flash and control FEC to brighten or darken the flash fill..
