Help with remote flash
I recently bought a Canon 430EX flash gun which works perfectly with my 20Da when mounted on the camera hot shoe. When, however, I put it on a remote flash trigger there are problems.
The first problem is minor but when I use the camera pop-up flash to trigger it, it works fine but has to be turned off and on again before it can be triggered again. Is this normal? It doesn't seem to make any difference which mode it is in or whether set to slave or not.
More seriously, when it fires when triggered from the remote trigger, it does not corespond with the shutter being open. I have tried slowing down the shutter speed but to no effect.
When I use my ancient flash gun connected to the pc socket on the camera there is no problem at all. What do I have to do to get my new flashgun to operate properly away from the camera? (without having to buy a second flashgun)
TIA
Dave
