I tried searching, but can't find the answer. Can I place a strobe somewhere off camera and the 6D will trigger it wirelessly?
Thanks

Scrumhalf Cream of the Crop  More info | Nov 29, 2013 23:53 | #3 My understanding is no. You either need a trigger like the YN622 or a flash on the hotshoe that can trigger the off camera flash. Sam

apersson850 Cream of the Crop  More info | The Canon cameras that can trigger remote flashes by themselves do that by using their internal flash as an optical trigger. The 6D doesn't have any built-in flash, so no luck there. Canon's solutions are the ST-E2 or the ST-E3-RT triggers. Or a flash that can act as a master. Anders

Nov 30, 2013 12:05 | #6 Thanks for the answers. All that makes sense. I figured since some of the Rebels can do it then the 6D would be able to. But now I see that it has to have a flash onboard to do the triggering. Sony A7 III and some lenses

I also own a T2i and the Sigma 10-22 constant max aperture (f 3.5) lens performs adorably on it. I've had that lens for a few years. It is a lens intended for "crop frame" sensors. 6D | 6D Mk II | 7D | 7D MK II | EF 17-40 f/4 L | EF 70-200 f/4 L IS | EF 50mm f1.4 USM -|- Rebel T2i | EF-S 17-55 IS | Σ 10-20 f3.5 EX DC | Σ 70-300 4-5.6 DG Macro (Yes, I am cheap) | Speedlite 580EXII | YN622c
