Yongnuo YN-565EX ETTL Speedlite Flash Review
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 9 сен 2024
- Looking in to the brand new Yongnuo YN565EX ETTL Flashes. Can be triggered as a slave from OEM Canon or Nikon triggers. Some quirks to be noted. More here: cheesycam.com/...
The "built-in wireless trigger" on the 600D/T3i/Kiss X5 is an optical trigger; it uses the pop-up flash to control external flashes. It will be able to fire the YN460/560, but it will not be able to control their output (no TTL/eTTL/auto mode, manual only with built-in optical slave). It will be able to control the YN565EX in eTTL mode, provided that the remote flash can see the control flash from the camera (the same restriction applies to Canon external speedlites).
Really great presentation, Thanks heaps Ross
Great review, thanks. It is really impressive considering the price. Now, it we need to see how well they hold up.
I have a t3i and mine works, no problems with it. Very happy with it.
There are hundreds of videos online about this product with excellent reviews. The no refund issue is mainly dependent on where you purchased it from. This item is also sold via Amazon, which you would have no problems getting a refund from.
@angelisone The PC socket on the flash is an input to to fire the flash itself from the camera.
I've had mine for like 2 years, works fine.
I have the canon 70d and it works great with it. To Jon's point I did have to send the first one back after only two days use as it wouldn't fire on or off the camera. But the one I got as a replacement has worked perfect without problems.
very informative video... so hard to find these days on youtube...! thanks dude :)
Great video, you answer my quetion about using it as a slave for the canon
This YN can be triggered manually in S1 or S2 mode by any other flash. I do it with a 350D.
You need an optical adaptor or compatible camera to do wireless E-TTL though.
It's not triggered by 'optical' flash. There's is an infrared remote built into the Canon 7D specifically to trigger Canon (or equivalent) Speedlights. Not all cameras have this built in, but the 60D does for sure.
@angelisone I think you're original question is formatted incorrectly the. Are you trying to trigger another flash by using the PC socket of a YN flash? Yes, you can trigger a flash from the camera PC socket, but I don't think you can trigger another flash from the YN socket.
A fantastic comparison video, I might buy a couple of these now :), Thank you!
i havethe 560ii on my canon t3i, absolutely love it, has all the power and features i want, manual only is fine for the price
It can slave in manual mode to any other flash. It can only slave in E-TTL mode to a compatible optical transmitter.
This is a really helpful review - thank you :-)
For the E510, just get a Vivitar 285HV or go with the Nissin Di622 Mark II.
Pop-up your flash & set up the Nissin Di622 Mark II wireless (away) from camera- results are pro flash lighting.
You should be able to adjust flash compensation and it should detect the focal length of your EF lenses.
An actual image comparison would be helpful - side by side with the 580ex. Compatability sounds fairly good. But it is in the image! Color temperature, actual field coverage at different zooms. Thanks for a great video.
You can sync up a certain shutter speed, but not high speed shutter.
@neavissa2004 Yes the test was done with a 5D Mark II.
great flash bought used off ebay had no problems since i use a 7d and it half way kept up with the 8 frames flashed about 3-4 times before stopping
@3guys1girlandfetus Yes it can. Max shutter 1/250th. The 7D cannot support HSS through infrared trigger. The YN-565EX does not support HSS anyways.
High speed sync means you can take photos with high shutter speeds (1/500 and above).
Greetings from Chile!
@MrCheesyCam Every Nikon flashes that have PC Sync Socket, including Nissin, work when you placed a flash with a pc sync cable to Nikon PC Sync Socket.
Every cameras that have PC Sync Socket is to be used for tethered flash with a PC Cable.
Do you have other flashes that have or need PC Cable? Try it-won't flash.
PC Sync Socket has to work (flash) when you pressed the shutter button, if not then you can never hook-up tethered studio shooting.
a big disadvantage of this flash is, that it does not support high speed sync HSS !
For all who are thinking about buying this flash should now this. A 430ExII is not much more expensiv, it's from canon , has HSS and works abolutely fine with Canon equipment. If you are looking for a Strobist flash and manual settings, there are cheaper ones avaiable.
of course if you broke it with your careless handling, you cannot get refund, any products with users fault when it is broken, you can't get refund...
but as my experience with Yongnuo flash, it is very strong, i just dropped it so many times for 2years(seriously dropped with swing power) and it still works well... only the problem is when there's any problem there's no repair provided...
@abieclee The 600D / T3i should have a wireless trigger and should work to trigger this type of flash.
You would use the camera's built in flash to trigger it optically. So you don't need a trigger.
@cicarelliphotography yes. yn565ex already out for NIKON ! :D
I wanted a good strobe that had High Speed sync and would also be compatible with all the in-camera flash menus. I'm looking at the 430EX II right now.
Without having to take out a bank loan......lol
I little bit of everything. I'm just getting deep into flash photography but it would be nice to crank the shutter speed up high to kill the sunlight if i needed to, 1/250th of a sec may not be fast enough.
It still looks like a descent strobe tho.
Hi Kerri , what are your camera settings.... try using these settings Manual Mode 200 (Shutter)...and try take the pic again.... the max sync speed for the flash to work is 200 - 250 depending on the camera and flash ....
I was thinking of getting one but after all of the bad reviews about the 50/50 hit or miss rate as far as quality control I'd rather throw the extra 100 bucks and get a 430EX II.
When using the focus point during a dark situation the laser bean built in the the speedlight beams out and points to the subject, just like the focus point, in order to get a correct focus shoot. Which I understand.
Now when I'm using the wireless trigger during dark situation the laser bean built in the speedlight beams out not toward the subject only the focus point. I still do get a correct focus shot but want to know why it does that when using wireless triggers.
Great video. I think I am going to get this for my t3i.
I'm thinking of doing the same, did you like it or did you get something else?
The question was about firing the YN from another flash, this is not possible.
To be very clear, it's not the flash that triggers the YN. You cannot trigger the YN with another 'flash'. What is inside of a 7D and 60D is an infrared master trigger built into the camera. A simple flash will not fire the YN.
great video 5star
Also looking at the Nissin Di866 Mark II & the Metz 58 AF-1
Any AA batteries will work, I'd go for high capacity NIMH for 'home use', and a couple of packs of good dry batteries for excursions.
Wondering why I got YN685s instead of this years ago. No HSS? (And for the built-in RF 622 support of the YN685) Yup, that's it, thanks for the reminder
Yes, it can. I do this with my Canon 7D.
@BryanMumble It's the same as the 7D, so should work the same.
was just wondering why the 550D's optical flash doesn't trigger the slave flash? I think i've seen the Canon 7D's compact flash triggering an external flash?
Great video thank you for the info!
I bought a Yongnuo flash and I own a Nikon D5100 but when I put it on the hot shoe it does go off when I take a picture. How do I get it to go off through the hot shoe on my camera?
do you have a video about this speed light on how to use the hss. i have a nikin d7100
@panchoskywalker Yes. will work.
I bought one and it broke after 1 month!!! so I went out and bought a second hand canon 580EX II... have not looked back since - Never compromise on quality!!
No it will not, but you can add an optical adapter to some flashes to turn them into a slave.
I think so
"can use the built in flash on the camera body to control the YN-565" - Speedlights
Could you try metering in program mode to see if it works correct. Then try in AV to see if it meters the same. I am getting poor metering in program and auto modes. It gives values that overexpose. But it works fine in AV and TV modes. This is on a 650D.
Isn't there a slave mode like on te YN460? some photo diode that trigers when it "sees" another flash ??
- without communication just like "shoot if you hear someone shoot"?
@ashworthm This says it is compatible with Nikon.
I found an interesting video demonstration of the Yongnuo 565 being triggered by Canon and Nikon cameras yongnuo com cn / usermanual / downloadVideos_en.htm Pretty impressive that it can respond to both camera brands so you could potentially borrow/share extra slave units with friends regardless of their camera brand. I'm not sure if the one in the videos is Canon or Nikon for the mount.
@saravanan27 Just tested it out even more, I really like this flash. I triggered with 7D, adjusted flash compensation wirelessly, and more. It works really well.
Can't link in YT. Just search for a Flash Optical Trigger on B&H.
I see.
Well, you should know that it's not all that hard to kill the sun at 1/250, given the proper aperture. This flash has enough power to beat the sun by a couple stops at 1/250.
What flash are you thinking about buying?
Emm - Is this flash work in TTL mode with Panasonic GH3 and GH4? I haven't worked with an external flash, so I am unfamiliar with what to look for.

I want to know this as well but there is next to not information about that.
That's a great video and very informative. I have a Canon 7D, can the on-board flash be used to rigger the Yongnuo 565EX ETTL instead of using a transmitter?
My guess is, yes, but I would like your opinion on this.
Thanks again. I am really wanting to buy this flash.
For the price, It works great for an on-camera flash.
So good . u can make me understand for use YN565EX ^^ Thank you
Have you ever tried to trigger a YN with a Canon Flash on hotshoe? Yes, I did with my Canon 480EX and it works pretty well. But I'm sure it doesn't work with a flash that isn't from Canon working as master.
@MrCheesyCam The 565EX II's PC Sync Socket is useless. My staff & students are using PC Sync for flash when some camera has no pc sync socket.
Have you used that sync socket or just stating that it has one :o(
No one is using to trip the flash when it can be done by "c, cn, S1 and S2"
HELP! - budget minded newbie. I purchased Neewer TT560 for my T3i from Amazon.com based off buyer reviews. I mounted on but the flash does not work.
I went into the flash settings and I get this error- "This menu cannot be displayed. Incompatible flash or flash's power is turned off"
I just thought you only need to mount it and its ready to go. Do I need to make changes to the flash settings?
Just got one and it works great.. Just can't figure how to reduce the power on it to 1/4...
Yes, it should work on camera.
great i just purchased one from amazon
Unfortunately my YN565EX has felt on the floor and battery cover is damaged. Reflection board and wide angle diffuser felt out from their compartment. I manage to find spare battery cover but have problem how to reach inside the diffuser compartment. It is over flash head and seems separated, but I am afraid to employ force to detach it by screwdriver or knife. Do you know what is the right way to remove this cover. Thank you.
so it won't work with the 550D then? Can it be triggered optically? I'm really thinknig ojf getting this for the guide number, but versatility when I upgrade to 7D. But would like to know if i could trigger the slave with the 550D's built-in flash?
Does it lock at upright position?
I'd like to add a diffuser so I wondered will it be stable or it'll bend when something attached to it?
Thanks!!
nice review
Hi,
I have an Olympus E510 and I was wondering if this flash will work on my camera? No TTL required, all I want to know is whether it will flash and will it cause any harm to the camera?
Thanks...
great review. i`m looking forward of buying one of these. can you tell me which is the highest shutter speed value you can sync the camera to the flash ? thanks
Does 565 EX has built in receiver like the 560 III has so i only need to buy a RF-603 transceiver. I don'y understand. Do i need both, receiver and transceiver with 565 EX?
It does NOT have any RADIO abilities what-so-ever. You need a RADIO transceiver (or receiver) for this unit. It WILL work as an OPTICAL slave.
I would like to buy a flashgun for my Nikon d90
I have 2 options............the Yongnuo 560II or the 565 ex?
great video mrcheesycam! i just recently bought this flash for my t2i! i am new to external flashes so i am usually staying in ETTL mode. when i go to take a picture the flash triggers BUT no picture is taken..i then have to push the shutter down again to take the picture. the flash goes off again at that time. why wouldn't it just take the pic the first time i push the shutter button? not sure i have have to adjust some settings on my camera or the flash itself? thanks!
i just bought this 565ex yesterday, but i cannot trigger the flash by wireless, the pop-up flash trigger is ok but i tried everything and the wireless is not working, could you help me with it?
Hey All,
Can you get a flash to go off when connected to Youngnuo's PC Sync Socket?
All my flashes are not working when connected to Youngnuo's PC Sync Socket.
No problem when connected to ATG Canon EOS-1D X IR's PC Sync Socket.
Thanks for the review. I see that compatibility does not mention the canon 5D mk1, will TTL work with a 5D or not?
Does it recognize the ISO ? I bought another low brand ttl flash gun and when I boost my ISO ttl mode is overexposed like it meters only with ISO 100
How is the iTTL system? Because I was using Nissin flashes and they tend to overexposed and underexposed all on its on even after you've properly set the settings. Thanks.
Hi Mr. ChessyCam Thanks for your videos. I would like to know if possible trigger a Yongnuo YN-565EX ETTL Speedlite from another Yongnuo YN-565EX ETTL Speedlite installed on a camera. Thanks in advance. Best Regards Ali
Can the Transievers work with Yongnuo RF-603 C3 2.4GHz Wireless Flash Trigger/Wireless Shutter Release Transceiver Kit for Canon ?
How is the STE2 triggering the 565 when the 565 doesn't have a receiver?
If I were to but 3 yongnuo flashes, Can they all be triggered at the same time? If I use canons STE2 inferred transmitter?
This is first time i have seen an informational video , explaining that Yn565ex is a slave. Ok i have a question, lets say i want to work with Yn series only as they are less expensive as compare to Cannon speedlites .I want a setup of three at least flashes, all Youngos, say 565, 560 and any other 465 or 460( i dont remember that) , what you think that how i have to control all of my youngous ? while using my canon 600 D ( which has a built in wireless trigger ).
Thank you
can i set it to my Nikon D90 without optical adapter?
much like murofly, i am clueless about flashes but i do need one, might sound stupid that i know i need one yet i am clueless about them, but there you have it, would i be able to run this directly through the camera, without any transmitters or any gizmo's like that, purely just the camera and flash? i dont really shoot faster than 1/80 in a situation where i need flash lighting, so would this work fine alongside my 550d/t2i? thankyouuuuu :D
Great speedlight.
would the images differ if compared at the same settings and set up?
Is the communication with the camera feature a feature of ETTL? ie, would a flash with no ETTL (manual only) not be able to communicate with the camera?
Hey man, great review kudos to you. I just need some extra info as in does it have the red light for low light focusing in front like the canon does? that would be very cool and is the TTL compatible with the canon T3. thx man, i already own a YN flash and i'm thinking on buying this one of it has the light.
I am getting into wedding photography and want the ability to shoot outdoors in bright light with high speed sync off camera using the new yongnuo 622c triggers. Does anyone know if this flash will support HSS of camera as well as on?
Hello there, i was wondering. I have a 600d. can this speedlite be a slave to the built in flash in my camera?
i just bought this for Canon T3i... is it meant to auto sync to the camera when i put it on or do i have to set something on it beforehand because i can't get it to read the camera or even flash when on it. thanks
Can the Yongnuo YN-565EX act as a master to trigger Studio flash lights...
Thanks in advance.
It's possible to trigger with a Canon Flash only.
a great video (Y) !! but i have just 1 question , i have a 600D so can i control this flash with my camera wireless settings or i will need a trigger ?! thx in advance
