Thanks so much for this tutorial. Exactly what I was looking for to learn about the basic settings and how to set up with my camera to take some great shots and make adjustments where necessary. Thank you!
Great video! I saw another video that suggested using a shutter of 1/60 and iso of 1000 + , f.4 and bouncing the light from a ceiling (example wedding reception, to allow more ambient light) of course this was with an automatic flash, using manual with those settings would your flash settings still be a good starting point? I usually shoot direct with a diffuser, and higher shutter speeds but I really want to bounce my flash if possible. Thanks!
I'm using a Nikon D7000, the flash you're using and two transceivers, one on the camera and the other attached to the flash. All are switched on, using your settings in the video but the flash isn't firing. Any idea what's wrong?
Thank you so much for your tutorial and making it simple and easy for beginners like me... I have a request... Could you do a tutorial for the yongnou 565 iv ...??? Please...
I'm sorry folks I know some of you have questions, but the RUclips interface has become very confusing and does not allow me to reply to some comments. Thanks for the feedback!
Great video in deed! I have a question on the zoom range ( 24 mm - 105 ) is this the actual length of my lens or my focal lenght after i multiply my crop factor of 1.5 for my nikon d700? thanks!
I believe that the zoom range is based on a crop camera. However, the shape of the flash projection is approximate in any case, so in most cases I don't think it would make a big difference.
Hello Jeff, I'm having some trouble to shot the Yongnuo 560 III with my canon T5i, I'm using the flash and the camera settings on manual and the camera doesn't shot, actually it doesn't even recognize it. Can you help me with this??? I would be really thankful.
Thank you very much for this tutorial sir, but i have a question, i use the nikon d3100 right, when i mount the flash on the hotshoe and fire it, it shows a line of exposure to one part of the photo, not the whole photo, how can i fix this?? thank you again
This is because you have set the shutter speed faster than the sync speed (1/250) of the flash. When using this flash you must use a slower shutter speed than the sync speed.
I have question...for someone it will be soooooo dumb,but i must ask Can I shot with auto mode on camera with YN560II and how? Or it must be manual on camera and on speedlight?
You must use manual mode to set the camera's exposure settings. Any of the automatic modes (P, A, etc) will not work properly with a manual type flash such as this.
Jeff Shames It goes without saying that you can use rechargeable AAs, just get the high capacity ones (>2300 maH) otherwise they'll drain quickly. Personally I just use alkalines because I use the flash only occasionally and the alkalines hold their capacity for a long time, unlike rechargeables. When you need the flash, you want it to work right then and not have to recharge the batteries,

this helped so much thank you!
Helpful video. Not many tutorials on this flash

Can you do a video on using the Yongnuo YN660? Possibly with the transmitter on a separate video.

Ah thank you!! It works now .. Thank you very much ..
Mr. Jeff i own a nikon D3100 SLR is this compatible to my camera? Thanks
This is a manual flash so it will work with any brand.
Thanks. I know that the video quality isn't that great, but I think the explanations here fill a void.
TKS for this
