[QUOTE="Blade Canyon, post: 689859, member: 15302"] Just FYI, I was frustrated last night trying some new lighting set ups and using Live View with focus peaking (which is pretty cool!). First I plugged in an old fashioned sync cord to the D850's connector, but the strobe would not fire. I reckoned the D850 connector must be something new, so I got out the Phottix, but the strobe still would not fire. The flash symbol on the info screen had the "no flash" symbol, and I tried everything to change that setting in the camera menus, but nothing would work. Finally hit Google, and a short video explained it all: Your flash will not fire if you have activated Silent Live View shooting. So, turn that off, or just turn off Live View before shooting. Turns out that old sync cord works just fine on a D850. [/QUOTE]
