Approximately 225-275, depending on range and iTTL usage. In full manual mode the manufacturer indicates 250-320 full power flashes. . . . bgs.

I didn't install one. As a result the frequency of flash is higher, which doesn't bother me. Do it if you want the normal flash rate.

I'm not sure what to tell you on that one. But it is a manual flash. Plug-in a trigger and take some test shots with brightness settings and you will get dialed in pretty quick. Do you have any other specific questions that you need help with?

Mine go to at least 1/200 before seeing a black bar at the bottom. If the flash isn't firing on time at all, its an issue with the trigger/flash receiver, if its not flashing period, double check batteries and frequency channels on all of the triggers/receivers

I do not own any Yongnuo flashes, however I have a Canon 580 EX flash which has a built in radio that can trigger other flashes and yet I have two sets of the RF-602's which works fine with it. I mix and match triggers all the time between strobes and flashes and never had any issues.

YONGNUO YN560 IV YN-560IV Wireless Flash Speedlite Master + Slave Flash + Built-in Trigger System for Canon Nikon Pentax Olympus Fujifilm Panasonic Digital CamerasI used this one as a flash driven slave. Half the price and accepts external battery packs!

Oh no. This is not blown out of proportion. If I could take mine back I would. Utterly useless for anything other than casual shooting. If you are in need of consistent results you would need to rotate two HVLF60M's or possibly even three. I use the flash until it over heats at roughly around 20 shots and then I switch to an old manual Nikon flash for about five to ten minutes until the flash cools down. The TTL works rather well so if you own the HVLF60M it is worth the trouble of switching out flashes but it isn't worth buying.

It will at least fire at full power, at best you will have auto sync, do not have the nex. Am using alpha77 with Old re r minolta flash and works fine just have to work out distance gives best exsposure.

These flashes do not natively support hi-speed sync. Depending on your camera, 1/200th or 1/250th will be your max "normal" shooting speed. I have accidentally forced these into a hi-speed flash mode using an external trigger, at a loss of brightness.

Some possible reasons; do you have the channels set to the same on both units? To test that, when the transmitter button is pushed, the red light on the receiver should blink. If they do, then the units are talking to each other. Next check to make sure the batteries are charged.Replace the batteries, both and test again. Lastly make sure the YN-560 is set to M (manual). Attach the flash to the receiver, and see if the transmitter will fire it. Both the flash and the receiver should light up (flash and red light). Lastly check to make sure the YB-560 will fire when attached to the hot shoe of the camera. If all the fails, well I have no idea.

With Nikon I use a pair of YN-622N triggers and trigger one (and up to three with a three-way mount with one input) of these flashes up to 1/8000 as long as the body has FP sync it works GREAT once you put the flash(es) into H mode.

I shoot at ISO 100, f22 and 200 shutter speed with an 85mm macro lens. There is a pretty wide range of flash intensity with this flash if you use TTL metering. You may want to use an f-stop on the higher side, at lleast 12 or higher, for some depth of field. It won't be very deep with the extension tubes.

I don't seem to have any problem with synch speed of flash to shutter speed. I have used the triggers for some time now and even purchased another set for more lights. All of them seem to work fine with whatever synch speed I need. I have used a range of shutter speeds from 1/60 to 1/200 depending on how much ambient light I want for the background. I have never tried to use them with high speed synch at this point. I have two types of speedlights that are all for Canon equipment. I have a Canon 430EXII and two Yongnuo YN560II. Hope that helps! P.S. what the other two folks said also.

I usually use the 6 shot mode. I seem to be losing a little power after 20 (6 shot) sequences---- though I am not sure. More testing.

Harvey: sorry I'm slow--been out of town that past 6 days. My G15 small guide book shows on p. 31 the following: High power flash HF-DC2 Speedlite 600EX-RT, 600EX, 580EX II, 430EX-II, 320EX, 270EX II. It also shows a complex-looking Macro Twin Lite MT-24EX I'm sure these are Canon products. I've been quite happy with the camera's on-board flash. Cheers, George

I would use 400. It's a little more "grainy" looking in prints but you won't really need your flash in daylight.
