Don't know if you can do that. If you can put it in manual give that a go, it might work with the optical slave, might not. Alternately put the 580EX on the camera, flash in M 1/64th power, the strobes will pick it up via optical slaves.

Radio triggers are a better solution overall, more reliable, though optical's fine in the studio.

i can`t get my 580exII working with Bowens. probably i do something wrong. i set my flashgun to M, 1/64, but it does`t trigger my studio lights. hmmm.... do i have to do some more settings? does my flashgun have to be on "master"?
thanks

all sorted now. thanks

Flash must not be on master, and you might need more than 1/64 depending on your setup. Please post your solution!
