Canon and quantum

[hfd4177]

Hello all. I need some help I am using a 5d II with a quantum t5d r off camera triggered by the freexwire plugged into th pc. Problem

is I want to use a 580 exii on the hotshot on manual as fill but when I press the shutter only the 580 fires. If I turn off the 580 the t5d

fires but when I turn it on only the 590 fires. Please help I'm stumped. Thanks

<p>Dear Brian,<br>

Never tried it myself - last weekend at a wedding I was either using the T5d on camera or firing a mixture of 550 EX, 580 EX and 580 EXII using the EXII as the Master, but....<br>

have you set the 580 EXII to "Master"? do you have the correct module for the T5d?<br>

Yours<br>

best bet is use all 580exii then u want have any problems. else, use radio poppers, cybersync, or pocket wizards to

fire both speed lights.

Dear Brian,

I had hoped that, by now, someone with greater expertise than me would have responded. As they have not I

decided to get my Td5-R out, put the 580 EXII on my 1Ds and have a play.

With the Qnexus NX unit on the T5d-R, I set the 580EXII to Master - turned the Speedlite on, held the Zoom button

down for a couple of seconds until the letters OFF came up, turned the Control Dial so that the letters "on" were

displayed, ensured the Channel on the Speedlite and the Quantum were the same and then.......fired away! Both

flashes fired.

I hope this sorts out the problem you were having.

Yours

Ian
