Hi guys - doing product shots lately and I am sure I am just missing something but I use live view a lot to get my focus setup and have a CyberSync to trigger two strobes. Everything works great if I set my focus up, turn live view off, and release the shutter, but I would really like to leave live view on as it makes it more rapid of stacking focus etc.

Why doens't my flash fire with live view turned on?


Thanks!

Actually I didn't see anything in there, but I turned "Quick shoot" to "Disabled" and now flash fires. Who knew lol.

Live View flash works only with Canon flashes. Later in the day I can add a reference; I don't have it on this computer.

It actually works with any flash so long as your turn quick shoot off.
