Hey everyone Adam here over at the Digital Goja Showroom now have you been wondering
whether or not you're Altura Photo flashes and triggers are compatible with
some of the newest mirrorless cameras out there well we got the answer for you
so stay right here.
Well Canon and Nikon have just recently introduced some great
full-frame mirrorless cameras and we've had a lot of customers inquiring on
whether or not the Altura Photo flashes and triggers are compatible with them so
you're excited to say that yes all the outs are photo flashes and accessories
are compatible with the newest full-frame mirrorless cameras like the
canon eos r RP the nikon z6 and the nikon z7 and we also have a new flash
coming out from altair photo called the AP 305 flash now this is also compatible
with the Sony line of mirrorless cameras make sure to stay tuned to the end for a
sneak peek of this new flash from Altura Photo since some of the flash
features may work differently on a mirrorless camera than they would on a
DSLR we've made this video to show you what you need to know on how to get the
most out of your Altura Photo flash products when used on a mirrorless
camera now in this video we're going to be using the nikon z6 but keep in mind
the flash feature usability may differ from camera to camera alright so let's
start out with the Altura Photo AP- 1001 flash this is a Nikon I TTL
dedicated flash and we've had some users say that it works on their camera like
the D750 but it wasn't working on their new z6 and there's a simple explanation
for this Nikon has a silent photography mode built into the menu and once this
is activated it disables all flash photography so that doesn't mean just
the Altura Photo flashes won't work it even means the Nikon branded flashes
won't work as well and that holds true for Canon as well as Sony so in order to
make your flash work and your Flash accessories make sure to go into the
menu and deactivate silent photography mode so once you've deactivated the
silent photo mode of your Nikon z6 you can go
ahead and install your flash on top of the hot shoe now you want to make sure
that you push the flash all the way in and it's installed properly you can go
ahead and shoot in TTL or manual it's easy as that now the auto zoom head and
ISO the display function will work normally just like it does on a DSLR
camera but if you're gonna want to achieve the flash exposure compensation
you're gonna have to do that from the flash itself
it won't work when chain you through the camera's menu the flash also does
feature an AF illuminator which works really well on a DSLR camera when
shooting under low-light but on the mirrorless camera it won't be active so
you're going to want to make sure to activate your camera's built-in AF
assist lamp when shooting under low-light since the Nikon z6 and z7
don't have a built-in pop-up flash you're not going to be able to use the
s-1 s2 optical wireless slave modes on your AP-1001 flash unless you have
an additional flash on top of the camera now if you don't have or don't want to
use an additional flash don't worry altaïr photo has you covered with their
set of Altura Photo wireless flash triggers since the Altura Photo wireless
flash triggers are manual they're compatible with any standard shoe mount
flash TTL or manual no matter the brand they're also compatible with any camera
with a standard hot shoe these are a great inexpensive way to get your flash
off camera now the same rule applies to these triggers as they do with a flash
when placing them on top of a camera they won't work in the silent
photography mode so you have to deactivate any silent shooting mode of
your camera before you can start using them the wireless triggers could be used
in two ways you can remotely trigger your flash off-camera or you can use it
to remotely trigger your camera shutter now the kits are available in either
Nikon or Canon they include a shutter cable that's compatible with most
beginner and advanced cameras now if you find that the cable isn't compatible
with your particular camera you can find a
compatible cable online so the included cable in the Nikon kit is compatible
with the Nikon z6 all you have to do is plug one end into the receiver and the
other into the camera shutter port now you have to make sure that the switch is
set to camera once that's done you're ready to fire your camera from a hundred
feet away and here we have the brand new Altura Photo AP 305 TTL flash now this
is going to be available soon for your Nikon or Canon DSLR or mirrorless camera
it's even going to be available for your Sony mirrorless lineup this will be
available for purchase as a flash only or you can purchase it in a kit with its
dedicated manual trigger the RT 305 what I really like about this flash is that
it's compact in size it's powerful has a bunch of advanced features like it's
built in 2.4 gigahertz transceiver it's compatible in the high-speed sync mode
and it even has some custom settings now like I mentioned earlier on you're gonna
have to make sure to disable any silent shooting modes on your mirrorless camera
in order for you to operate with this flash right here on the Nikon z6 we have
the Altura Photo RT 305 transmitter now this will allow
you to control and trigger your flash unit off-camera in the manual mode if
you're looking for TTL functionality you can purchase an additional flash to be
placed onto your camera as the master and the other one will be off camera as
a receiver just like the AP 1001 series this flash
does feature a built-in AF illuminator now it works on your DSLR cameras but
will not function on a mirrorless camera so I would recommend making sure your
built in AF illuminator of your camera is active when shooting under low-light
all in all the AP 305 TTL flash is an awesome addition to the Altura Photo
lineup it even includes a lot of the features that you've been asking for in
the flash it's smaller in size makes it perfect for the DSLR and mirrorless
cameras and this flash and transmitter will be available soon make sure to
