[QUOTE="WayneF, post: 365980, member: 12496"] The SB-400 was not a Yongnuo 622 issue. The problem with the SB-400 (and SB-300 and SB-500) is that it has no LCD, and thus has no menu and no buttons - no way to control it. Instead, it uses the camera menu (to set TTL, or set Manual level), so it must be connected to the camera to work at all. I'm surprised it fired from the Reset button, but it could not work "fine" then. It was not programmed for mode or power level or anything. It is simply not an off-camera flash model. The hot shoe extension cords (SC-28) is as off-camera as it can get. EDIT: I should retract this, and stand corrected, because the story is that the YN-622 manual lists the SB-400 as compatible. Hard to imagine, and I cannot confirm that, but the 622 must be special, and able to communicate with the flash the same way the camera does? The flash is NOT going to work as slave in any other conventional way however. [/QUOTE]
