[QUOTE="BackdoorArts, post: 736199, member: 9240"] Yep, same with both. [B][/B]That said, by chance it seems I managed to resolve things. Yesterday, before setting up I did a bunch of testing and while I could get the trigger to fire I could not get the half press to function properly. The remote sent it, the receiver acknowledged it (paired green lights) but nothing from the camera no matter how I had BBF set. So, I go and set everything up outside, but now nothing is working. Remote and receiver register but the camera does nothing. I take the camera off the tripod and it starts firing. I try it again and nothing. I swap cables and we're back in business - but still no half press. This morning I decide I'm going to take a full look at the menus. I didn't find anything, but it struck me to play with the BBF setting again. Wouldn't you know, turn front button focusing on and everything works!! The cable must have been going bad and given that everything else worked I never thought it could be 1/2 bad.'' Unfortunately, I was hoping to trigger both D500's from different angles but I guess I'll have to settle for the D750 which loses me some reach. Time to order more cables. [/QUOTE]
