5D2 live view mode with off cam flash.

[jeromego]

i tried doing some macro shots today with 5d2 using live view and off cam flash triggered by cybersync. apparently it doesnt fire the off cam flash when in live view mode. has anyone tried this? thanks.

EDIT: is this even possible with live view?

Doesn't work with my 40D in live view. HIghly doubt it will work with any model camera.

Yep... same here with my XSi. No flash in live view (Cactus V2s trigger)

i guess the only way it works in live view mode is when you use OC3 ETTL cord. i wonder if it works with triggers that support ETTL.

just tried it with my ST-E2, and it does work.

i guess it does work if the trigger device used supports ETTL.
