In answer to my own question, I discovered that you have to be really quick when hitting the OK button on the flash after setting the 560TX to pair-like 1/2 second quick. Anyway, it's all working now so hope this helps someone else somewhere down the line.

Hi, I am just wondering if anyone can help me set up my Yongnuo 560lll flash and 560TX controller. I have paired the flash to the trigger in as much as the 560III will fire remotely but I am unable to change the power output on the flash from the 560TX and I think this is because the group icon did not appear on the flash when I paired them. I have watched all the Youtube setup videos and either I am missing something or else the flash is faulty. If anyone can help I'd be so grateful

Hi Gerry, Thanks for taking the time to reply. As you also only have TTL as an option if an external flash is connected to the camera then I'm hoping that the firing mode menu-setting only applies to the on-board flash. It would certainly make life easier if that is the case i.e. just making the settings on the flash rather than having to go into menu settings each time you want to switch modes. Thanks again.

I own a Panasonic GX7 and a Nissin i40 flashgun which I would like to learn to use manually. My problem is that no matter what I do, when the flash is attached to the camera, the firing mode is set to TTL and the manual option is greyed out and unavailable. I have tried numerous times to set the menu to Manual Firing mode but to no avail. My question is, if I take a photograph with the camera stuck on TTL Firing Mode but with the flash set to Manual am I actually setting the flash exposure manually? Or would I actually be in TTL mode with the camera overriding the flash output and calculating the exposure? I'd be very grateful for any help. Thanks.
