[QUOTE="escape, post: 507300, member: 41060"] So, in order for my D5200 to trigger an off camera flash (via Yongnuo RF-603N ii wireless flash trigger), I have to connect a shutter cable from the camera's GPS port to the wireless transmitter's input jack. Why is this cable necessary when the wireless transmitter is already sitting mounted on the hot shoe of the D5200? I guess the D5200 does not automatically pass on shutter signal via the hot shoe when there is no flash mounted on top of it? Is this normal? Or is there some setting in the D5200 that I can change, so that I can avoid having to connect this shutter cable? Thanks! [/QUOTE]
