Genesis 200...slave?

I have been toward the Genesis 200 as my first studio light. I have a Rebel XT and I don't know if the Genesis 200 can be fired by the flash on my camera.

Yes it can. You just need to make sure the light is set so it doesnt fire on your pre flash.

How would I do that?

Buy the light and read the manual

Just ordered it. Thanks for the info!

No problem. I have the two 200 light kit and they are very nice lights for the price, enjoy.

The "slave" button on the light has 3 settings, dmbpettit:
- Off
- Fire on first flash
- Fire on second flash

If you're using pre-flash on your cammie, set the light to fire on the second flash. At least that's the 3 settings I recall without looking at them.

Awesome, it should be here Friday, very excited.
