https://community.sony.fi/t5/alpha-nex-interchangeable-lens-cameras/a6300-triggering-remotes-with-built-in-flash/m-p/2198501#M5367 <P>I received my Sony A6300 last week after urgently ordering due to the arrival of a nephew. (I &nbsp;sold most of my Canon gear). Doing a small baby shoot for my sister, my new nephew I used a mix of remote Yongnuo and Nikon Speedlites&nbsp;set to SU4/optical trigger and manual output.<BR /><BR />With the A6300 on manual, 1/160, ISO100 and f1.8, using the inbuilt flash to trigger the remotes I found the flash, at 1/1 power, were barely lighting the set when it should have been overexposed. However, moving to f5.6 / 8 etc it was woefully underexposed. No change of setting seemed to fix it.&nbsp;<BR /><BR />Using a Canon 580EX II mounted to the A6300 at 1/64 it all worked perfectly with no exposure problems and we reduced the main flash down to 1/8 with the camera at f8 / 1/160, ISO100.&nbsp;<BR /><BR />I'd be grateful if any knows why the inbuilt flash as a trigger causes the exposure problem when the camera was on full manual? Some AE override? Or a flash sync problem not triggering the remote flash during actual exposure?<BR /><BR /><BR />Steve</P> Tue, 28 Jun 2016 10:58:36 GMT sonofbryce 2016-06-28T10:58:36Z https://community.sony.fi/t5/alpha-nex-interchangeable-lens-cameras/a6300-triggering-remotes-with-built-in-flash/m-p/2198501#M5367 <P>I received my Sony A6300 last week after urgently ordering due to the arrival of a nephew.
