david_leggott1 Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 <p>If I have these operating on a D600, and if I put manual flashes on the remotes, would I get a TTL system? If not, at best what would I get?<br> Would I need to ditch the 6 x 622s I've got and go for a 565/568 setup instead if I was looking to get 4-6 speedlights?</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lornesunley Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 <p>Are the YN622 triggers you have the YN622N (for Nikon) or the other ones meant for Canon. The Nikon ones will support iTTL with Nikon flashes.<br> Manual flashes (ones that do not support Nikon iTTL protocols) are manual flashes, so that is what you get.<br> <br /> At least according to the info on this link</p> <p>http://nikonrumors.com/2013/05/15/yongnuo-yn-622n-wireless-flash-trigger-for-nikon-is-now-available.aspx/</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodeo_joe1 Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 <blockquote> <p>"if I put manual flashes on the remotes, would I get a TTL system?"</p> </blockquote> <p>No. No way on this green earth. No matter what triggers you use. Modern DSLR TTL flash systems all use pre-flashes to measure the exposure, and manual flashes just aren't capable of firing pre-flashes.</p> <p>Your cheapest automated exposure option is to buy flashes with an Auto-Aperture mode. This is where the flash itself contains a light sensor that regulates the flash power and you simply set the same aperture and ISO on the flash and camera. There are many of these flashes on the used market, but the most flexible, accurate and consistent ones, IME, are made by Metz, Nikon and Sunpak. Look for models that allow for a good range of apertures to be used, and make sure that the reflector can be swivelled to point in the opposite direction to the sensor. This allows you to fit the flashes to umbrellas and still maintain the AA function.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bebu_lamar Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 <p>You have 6 flashes and when you use them it's not a quickie shot so if I were you I simply use them on manual. Don't need TTL. TTL is for quick shot when you have no time.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
