I am new here, I bought the yongnuo 585EX and tried off cam flash, I am using K3 and it has built in flash and it needs to be activated so it will connect to my 585EX, my question is, are there trigger that is compatible with 585ex? to avoid the popping of my ke built-in flash?
Thanks!
Are you using the built in flash as a controller? (option on right side of flash settings menu).
If so, the popping of the built in flash doesn't, well, shouldn't show up in the exposure.
Pentax Wireless Control is done through optical communication so the signal the Yongnuo Flash would receive is a series of flashes from the controller flash before the actual exposure takes place.
The nice thing about the Pentax Wireless on the K-3 is that you already have what you need for off camera flash.
Regarding triggers, any Pentax P-TTL trigger would work and the zillions of single pin triggers as well.
You'd have to get 2 triggers though, one for the camera (actual trigger) and one for the flash (receiver).
