Jan 06, 2013 14:55 | #1 Hey Everyone. I am extremely new to this website so I apologize if I am writing this in the wrong thread area. I have a Canon T3i and just bought a YN468 for it. I cannot get it to fire. Anything I am doing wrong? It fires pilot shots, but I cannot get it to Sync with my camera! Help me please!

Jan 06, 2013 19:02 | #6 I have read both manuals and I am positive I have a camera. The built in flash won't fire either when the 468 is mounted. But I can't get the 468 to fire when I press the shutter Canon 7d Gripped/ Canon T3i Gripped/ Canon 18-55/ Canon 18-135/ Canon 70-200L f2.8IS/ Flycam C5/ Yongnuo YN560II, YN560III

Make sure it's set to 'Enable'. 50D | 5D | Tokina 12-24 f/4 | 24-85 f/3.5-4.5 | 24-105 f/4L | 50 f/1.8 | 70-200 f/4L | Metz 50 AF-1

Make sure it's set to 'Enable'. Also make sure your YN-468 isn't in slave mode. That'll prevent it from being triggered by the body. Flash firing is enabled. When I remove the 468 And press the shutter the built in flash fires. Just double checked the red pages and its enabled for sure. Re read the t3i menu on external flashes and it didn't help.

rrblint Listen! .... do you smell something?  More info | Jan 06, 2013 19:49 | #9 Leopold Stotch wrote in post #15453906 ...Also make sure your YN-468 isn't in slave mode. That'll prevent it from being triggered by the body. This is probably the answer...Read the manual for the flash, it should tell you how to switch out of slave mode. Mark

Thanks again Make sure it says TTL (or some variant of that) and not S1 or S2 near the top right of the flash's LCD. Beyond that, I'm not sure what else could be causing this, assuming you got the Canon version of the flash. 50D | 5D | Tokina 12-24 f/4 | 24-85 f/3.5-4.5 | 24-105 f/4L | 50 f/1.8 | 70-200 f/4L | Metz 50 AF-1

I am using just the simple auto mode. Simplest form out there. Not in flash off mode. To be more specific. It's the green A+ on the dial Canon 7d Gripped/ Canon T3i Gripped/ Canon 18-55/ Canon 18-135/ Canon 70-200L f2.8IS/ Flycam C5/ Yongnuo YN560II, YN560III
