PW Flex TT5 and Sekonic 758

Cant get the the PW to fire from the Sekonic. Any suggestinons? Tutorials anywhere?

Verify your flash is set to manual and PW and meter are on the right channel.
Hope this helps

That did it. I was on ETTL. Thanks. Now, how is it used practically !?

You are asking how a light meter can be used practically when shooting in a manual mode?

When trigeering strobes

You use it when you want to meter the lights. you just hit the button on your light meter to get a meter reading off the strobes instead of having to use a sync cord.

Right. Got that. Now. If you need to adjust the output of the strobe can it be done on the 5d or on the 580? I also notice that the Sekonic will give a % of light from the strobe vis a viz the total overall exposure

No, you cannot adjust the output in camera.

So unlike when the strobe is teathered via a cord if you can't adjust on the fly one has to manually adjust on the unit? If that's the case then I guess one has to guess at the original exposure take the reading and then go to where the flash resides and adjust accordingly? Seems rather clumsy!
