Dan Burgess Posted July 13, 2008 Report Share Posted July 13, 2008 I am posting this for my friend.Hello guys, I wonder if you can help my dad and I, We are new to his whole off camera flash stuff and have just brought a new flash unit for our Canon 400d (Sigma EF-530 DG ST) and we have also purchased an ebay trigger (Cactus, PT-04..., Poverty Wizard)The triggers seem to talk to each other fine (the lights turn on), but alas no flash! It seems to be a problem with the communication between the receiver and the flash unit.Thanks in advance.Charlie JenningsP.S. I have tried using a different battery in my reciever, No joy.
