Hi there again, Izzy from www.DigitalGoja .com showrooms. Today we're going
to take a look at how to troubleshoot triggers. I've seen some questions posted
on forums and on a lot of the blogs on both Amazon and ebay and
www.DigitalGoja.com about customers that are confused about how to set up a trigger.
let's take a close look and see what the troubleshooting tips are for

Here's a troubleshooting tip I've seen that a lot of photographers want to use
a shortcut here they're like okay wait I got the camera setup for firing in
remote but I want too use a flash to so let me just put my flash on the shoe and
I'm set to go.
Well guess what, that doesn't work because the cameras now only receiving a
signal to this unit so that it fires it off but it is not working with
synchronization on the hot shoe so now when you go to fire this off
you're shooting the camera but notice how at one point the flash actually
fired before the camera so it's not synchronizing so you're going to be
basically guessing that you're going to get the correct exposure if you want
to have your flash fire off and you want to control your camera you have to
change this setup you cannot put the flash on your receiver you have to
remove the receiver from here
alright you have to put your flash onto
the hot shoe itself so it's getting a correct connection and you can set it
again to manual TTL however you choose to, so I'm going to set it to TTL now because
I have the camera set to automatic intelligent auto and I'm going to fire the camera off and
now I'm going to get the correct exposure because now it is actually
getting the readout from the camera so on TTL it's getting the correct
exposure and even had itself set to the correct zooming which is at 24 let me see
I'm going to zoom again now I'm like 35 and it's switched over to 5.6 notice how as I
change this it does do the zooming automatically for me so every time that
I press it it does get the correct exposure so if you want to do this kind
of photography where you want to control your camera from a distance
you're going to have to place this guy on something else you're gonna have to
put it on a bracket or you know if it's going to hang on the side you gotta be
careful you don't want to provide too much pressure so that this guy pops off
but you cannot put the flash on top but if you do it this way it's going to fire
every single time and again I'm controlling my camera and my flash is
working because it's getting the TTL signal right from the hot shoe so if you
set it up this way you can do both
you can fire off your camera from your transmitter remotely and you can use
your strobe flash
