did you ever use the YN 568 with the YN 622?

Yes and it seems to do just as you say. The display on the YN568 doesn't change with the 622. It has been awhile, so I don't remember the particulars. If I get a chance later, I will play and see what I find.

Right... That's the proper configuration for manual flash using a Yongnuo flash and trigger combination.

But I thought your issue was that the flash output level did not display on the flash itself; which still doesn't happen even when configured as I suggested. *confused look*

That's correct. The flash is in TTL mode, the 622 is in Manual. You control the output from the 622 and that's where the flash output settings are displayed.

The current Yongnuo 968ex is a Canon compatible flash. A Nikon compatible version of this flash will probably be released later.
