Today I just got the 622C and Flash is always firing at full strength. I am using Canon 6D. Do I need to do any additional settings ?

For what it's worth - and I apologize if I'm stating the obvious - check if your flash is on Manual set to full strength. Use your camera to check the settings and adjust the flash settings way down and way up, using the exact same exposure, and see if there's a difference

You need to set your camera to E-TTL and use a compatible flash if you want automatic setting of flash power by the camera. If you want manual control, set it to manual. The settings are in: External flash func. setting > Flash mode

HiBefore we continue givibg suggestions. What flash do you have? I know you have a canon 6D and yn622c.

The trigger that is mounted to your camera's hot shoe needs to be set to TX, and the trigger mounted to your flash needs to be set to TRX. Also, open the battery compartment on both triggers and make sure that they are set to the same channel. Assuming that you are shooting in manual, you shouldn't need to adjust any camera settings.

I don't know of any flash issues, I have a white case though and it doesn't really seem to affect the flash? Then again, I don't take too many indoor/night photos so I may not have noticed. I'm sorry I couldn't be more help :(

Most likely it's a faulty cable. Make sure all connections are screwed on tight. Or the triggers won't fire. Make sure the trigger meets the hot shoe 622 (n). N = nikon.

Can you describe the conditions and the camera settings in which you usually see this? Are you shooting long bursts? In low light? What memory card are you using? Have you tried a different one? Have you reformated the memory card in the camera recently? Are you shooting jpeg, RAW or both?

I use only my Canon 580EX Speedlite and I have note noticed any swinging downwards the camera. The bracket is strong enough to support any flash weight. I think you might have your camera swinging up on the platform if these little hinge bolts are too lose. This is happening periodically if you swing your camera from landscape to portrait positions a lot. I always carry 8 mm small wrench with me for tightening these bolts. I hope this helps.

Actually, I have done it. If the 430EXii is in slave mode and the red part of the flash is pointed towards any other flash, the 430EXii will fire if the original flash is powerful/close enough. Happy shooting.

No, it's a manual flash. you have to set the output of flash manually. It should trigger the flash when you press the shutter release, but it will only fire the settings that you manually set on the flash. Hope this helps!

Yes, all you have to do is press the lever by the lens and the Flash pops up--That enables the flash--Then select the forced flash and all yourpictures will have a flash fill. If you never pop the flash up or out--the Flash option can't be selected. That kind of drove me a little crazy for a bit---until I figured that you need to pop the flash first and then the Flash options will be available.

It could be the camera is triggering the flash, which is possible for Canon. Check the flash setting and make sure it's not set to trigger the flash.

Hello, Maybe try turning flash off, if you haven't already. There is also a macro mode built in this camera to account for close up shots. Hope this helps. :)

almost all cameras have a delay with flash.. try using the indoor mode withOUT flash and it will fire much faster and usually you will have more than enough light.

I have a Canon 6D. So far, the flash is working perfectly on my 6D. I've only used the manual flash once to test it, otherwise, I always use the TTL. I've had this flash unit for about a month with no issues, but I've probably only taken about 50 pictures with it.

What you are talking about are ISO settings. ISO settings are for LIGHTING situations when not wanting to use the flash. Not to forget that the higher the ISO the more noise there is. So Ill tell you what, try using your camera on ISO 800 without the flash, and take a pic while shaking your hand. It doesnt have to be violent, just up and down. Or you can even try taking an action shot. Then, tell me how great it comes out. Or, you can read this... http://www.engadget.com/2006/04/27/canons-powershot-sd630-review-roundup/

Thanks NutMac. I just got the Canon XSi so I'm guessing that would control this flash (being very new itself). The one thing I didn't consider before was that the price of this new 430EX II will be at list price for a while, making it a lot more expensive that the current model! That will put it out of my price range, so I guess I'm sticking with the older technology for now! Thanks again,Stew

I bought this flash to go on a Canon Rebel T4i. After the first couple of months I could not get it to work at all. The flash would not flash etc... I took the camera and flash to the local camera shop and was told that Canon camera's are very persnickety in regards to the flash. They just don't communicate with an off brand flash. I bought a Canon flash and have had no more problems at all.

Thank you. I got a pair two and they are easy to use. I put the Yongnuo YN 622C on top of my Canon 6D and the other one I put the flash Neewer 660 on it. Then i went to a different room and asked my boyfruend to take a picture...it triggered the Neewer flash in the other room!
