Hi everyone

Having an issue with my 600ex-rt. When using my Yongnou's to use the flash off camera, it will not allow me to keep it in manual mode. I switch the flash to M, and when I focus on the camera the flash automatically goes to ETTL. Anyone have any idea what could be causing this?? I have tried all my other speedlites and they stay in M, just not the 600ex-rt

What Yongnuo's? YN622, YN-E3-RT, YN600EX-RT?

If your using a yne3-rt or another 600ex-rt to trigger the one off camera check the master device on camera and make sure it's also set to manual. If they are then check the camera flash settings and make sure it's also set to manual

Are they all RT?

I don't think I ever set the mode on the off camera flash. I link the units and control everything from the master. If you change the mode on the off camera (slave) flash using buttons on that unit, the master is going to change it right back, as soon as you press the shutter release. What it your master set to?

That being said, I don't even know how you change the mode to manual, on a linked slave flash, without using the master, so maybe (probably) that's not the issue.

I am working with YN600 for almost a year now and 99.99% of the time as an OFC flashes. But even after this period of time, sometimes I get lost in the menus, just because I don't remember these things :D But, yeah, as I remember correctly, it doesn't matter, what mode you have on - just press the buttons until it syncs with transmitter and after that use transmitter to change power on the flashes.

As soon as I'll get back home, I'll check what exact settings are :]

Yes. You want to make all the changes from the master.

If your 600 flash is in "slave" mode, any manual or ETTL settings on it are determined by the master flash.
