Quick question about shooting with a AF540 mounted on top of a stroboframe. I'm second shooting my first wedding this weekend and want to use my K-5 mounted on a quick flip frame with my AF540 mounted on top of the frame. I also have a few of the cactus V5 triggers and for the reception was planning on using a lightstand in the corner with a manual Yongnuo-560 with a cactus receiver mounted to it.
my question is...if i want to use the AF540 in P-ttl mode, is the only way to connect it to the K-5 by using a hot-shoe sync cord (which I don't have right now). If I sync it using the in camera wireless, will I have to keep my pop-up flash up the whole time?
additionally, what is everyone else using and how are you using it for this type of setup. i'm mostly interested in what modes is everyone using and on what?
thanks in advance!
