wanna ask.
can I trigger a 430EX II with 550D built-in flash? Coz I only have 1 flash only I looked through the manual and they only mention about using an external flash to trigger the slave flash only. |

QUOTE(chucky @ Sep 20 2010, 07:10 PM) 2000mah is enough Eneloop?   i'm using alkaline battery now and it drain very fast. just around 30 shots and the recycle rate become unusually slow. QUOTE(ieR @ Sep 20 2010, 07:22 PM) if u have money, grab a new 580exII may i know what's the price of the phottix??else, all other third party trigger is fine, phottix are good  2000mAh last me about 600 shots with max of 400iso used. (if ur camera can go iso800, the power is half, means u can easily shoot till 1000 shots) no money to buy 580EX II la  |

QUOTE(mH3nG @ Sep 20 2010, 08:25 PM) Any battery will be drained quickly if you fire 30 shots at full power. i shoot with e-ttl mode. impossible every shot is full power la » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « iShoot flash triggers.

QUOTE(mH3nG @ Sep 21 2010, 08:16 PM) No. goldfries is right. i do believe him.The capacity does not directly affect the recycle rate. Read this if you're still not convinced. Could be the batteries then.  LOL, frutie had a great time convincing ppl about capacity and recycle rate doesn't have direct connection. QUOTE(fruitie @ Aug 29 2010, 11:59 AM) Exactly, I have been telling this in the rechargeable batteries thread. mAh is capacity and has nothing to do with recycle rate. In the Buy Thread |
