Rear Synch

tuggie76 · 12-16-2012, 02:25 PM

Hi, I have a K200d and 2 540FGZ flashes. I've been trying to get one to fire on first synch and the other on rear synch. The only way I can achieve this is by having one mounted on the camera on rear synch and one off camera on first synch. I can't get them to rear synch off camera in either SL1 or SL2 or with remote triggers.

Is this normal?

Thanks.

Rear sync doesnt work with wireless, maybe you can use it with a cable or as the 540FGZ on the camera as a trigger, but you can't do it with the pop-up flash

Thanks ANVH, It doesn't work with one on the camera as 'commander', either. Just wanted to check I wasn't doing something wrong.

Most of the features are unusable with wireless and that is one of them.
