[QUOTE="stevebobb, post: 161954, member: 13314"] I just got back from a trip to Harbin in China, I wanted to set up my flash gun by using a rope as a light meter and grey card which I saw instructions on You tube, and guess what my new Yongnuo flash wouldn't start.I am glad I went for the D800 instead of the canon at least the D800 gives you the option of a pop up flash if you absolutely need it!!! Any way So instead that day, I messed around and did a HDR photo from the outside of my mother in-laws window, it looked pretty good will post, some photos soon. One question about the D800!!!!! I found that when I set up the self timer with say 3 shots with a delay of 2 secs between shots, if i'm not using any flash it does what it says on the tin, and works fine. But if I use the pop up flash which in my case in Harbin I had no choice, the d800 only took 1 photo with the flash in self timer mode?? It didn't take all the 3 shots, ?? Weird?? I had the auto bracketing turned off. I tried to look at the manual but couldn't see it there, I must have missed something? Do you guys have any idea?? Is it a case that you cannot take multiple shots with the self timer using the flash?? Today bought another Yongnuo 568 the guy I bought it from has sent back my old one for repair, and says as long as I do business with him he can get the flashes fixed free of charge, even after the 1 year guarantee has finished.. So that's why I plumped for another speedlite... I also bought the YN-622N Flash/Triggers Transceivers X3...... and a cable timer Remote Controller MC-36/N for about $8.00 The disappointing fact about the YN-622N I didn't realise was that you cannot use one for a remote trigger...like the Rf 603......anyway I will see how long this stuff takes to break down..
