* Camera on M
* Camera: Fn->Flash->Flash Mode: Flash On
* Flash turned to ON (not wireless)
* Flash mode: M
* Do not rely on the include batteries
* Do not use rechargable batterie in the receivers! Most need 1.5v and will not work with 1.2v
Yup, that's the set I just got. Did the antenna mod, not sure if it was needed or not, and they work perfectly, so far...
PS This is a picture I just took of the flashes. The outers are vivitar 2500 thyristors mounted on jianisi pt-04tm receivers, connected with pc sync cables. The center flash is a promaster ftd7000m using the built in wireless sensor.
The viv's are at 1/16th power while the 7000m is at 1/64th.
Picture taken from about 20 feet. k100d with a 55mm vivitar macro at f8 with a 180 shutter. I have no probs using these at 180 shutter at even longer distances. Also using fresh out of the box duracell 800mah 1.2v "hybrids"...
