2 wireless flash. how?

[dieter]

Hello.., need some guidance here.
so I have a 5600 and 3600 flash unit, with KM5D
1. how do I set a wireless flash with 3600 as a remote flash, and 5600 attached to the camera as the trigger? or vice versa (should be the same right).
2. how do I set the 3600 and 5600 as the remote flash, while using the built-in flash as the trigger..

I've tried to get no.2 to work but can only make one remote flash fired, either it's the 3600 or 5600, the last one attached to the camera when setting to wireless mode.
while no.1 I can not make it to work at all.

please help.
thanx!

dunno about 5D, with 7D i need to set wireless in the menu.

then set wireless in both flashes.

#1...will not work.

#2...can work. Just make sure both the flash is set to wireless and the same channel as the camera wireless channel.

As Del_CtrlnoAlt indicated, do the same for KM5D.

so.., no.1 absolutely out of the question?

for no.2, do I need to attach each flash to the body first when setting to wireless or I can set it while detach from the body? so I pop-up the internal flash, set the mode to wireless, then set each 5600 & 3600 to wireless mode as well. just like that..?

need to mount first and set to wireless before dismounting

if need to mount first then set to wireless, then how to set the 2nd flash to wireless?
I think I tried it and end up only one remote flash flashes.. the other just stand still with the red light blinking....

์Need to attach for sync meh? I thought I just select the channel that I want will do.
Make sure both 5600 and 3600 are on same channel, default just use channel 1 lah.

#1 is pretty much out of question for 7D, so I think 5D will be the same.

#2 is as Tankm said.

[sulhan]

make sure both flash same channel...

 

[pai]

think #1 won't work.

cos even if both camera and flash are in wireless mode, if the flash is mounted on the body, it defaults to ADI or pTTL depending on your settings.

#2 by rights just make sure all set to same channel, no need to mount and sync.

The 5600HS will not work in commander mode when attached to either the 5D or 7D, to trigger another flash.

just an update,
finally got it working, looks like the 5600 was set to CH-4, didn't notice that before.
changed to CH-1 and now both 5600 and 3600 can fire together triggerred by the built-in flash.

now time to start messing with the ratio flash..


thanx all..!

dieter: how do you actually set your 5600 to be on the same channel as 3600? cant seem to find the options for that. thx.
