Using 550EX as master and 430EX as slave.
Sometimes slave works and sometimes not working. Usually first 10 shots work perfect and then it does not work. Batteries are full.
Any thought?
Thanks in advance.

That's just telling you its acting as a slave. Check the pilot light on the rear of the slave for capacitor status. It will be constant red if its ready to fire. SOSKIphoto

I have not checked it but i was shooting about every 30 seconds so it should full. 1Ds IR, 5DIII, 1DIII, 17-40, 24-105, 70-200, TS-E24, 40, 50, 85, 100, MP-E65
