Hi everyone,

I am using 2 speed lights on a light stand to shoot a wedding reception. They will be remotely triggered by the Pocketwizards Plus II transcievers. My problem is as it stand, the canon 430exII and 580exII speed lights will cycle off on its own if left untouched for more than a minute or so, atleast thats what it seems like, and I have to manually turn off and turn back on the flash. How do I keep the flashes turned on continuously?

Thanks for the help!

I have the same flashes. Set Cfn 01 to 1 on both. This stops them from going to sleep
