Hi,
I did a shoot earlier this week at a local nursery & had problems with my studio lights.
I've used the same set up many times & its worked fine, but now i cant think what i 'm doing wrong.
I have 2 Interfit EXD200 flashes, i was using the kenko studio transmitter mounted on the hotshoe.
Lights worked fine for the first 50 shots or so, then the main light flashed every 2 or 3 shots. I changed batteries in the studio transmitter, same problem.
So i plugged in my pc sync cord, same problem.
Then i switched the background & main lights over, still the one i used as a main light wouldnt flash every time.
So it must be operator error but have gone brain dead, again , and cant work out what i'm doing wrong.
When i pushed the test button on the studio transmitter, it triggered the flash, but not when i pressed the shutter.
Now i have been told that pc sync cords can be easily damaged so that is a possibility.
On the studio heads, it says "cell" and has 3 lights, having fiddled with them i dont know which it should be on, assume one is slave to trigger the 2nd light.
I'll have time tomorrow to get them out & try to solve it, but any suggestions oh wise ones?
thanks in advance
