cym Posted January 5, 2016 Share #1 Posted January 5, 2016 Advertisement (gone after registration) Good new year! I purchased 3 sets of SL, when the test 1.1 firmware can be a wireless flash. Now two upgrade firmware 1.2 and restore factory settings, Futuna and E3 Canon wireless flash trigger device can not be used, only Canon 600EX top flash can perfect use. Another 1.1 firmware SL or perfect support two wireless flash. Urgent ah! (in addition to the 1.2 version of the high light overflow does not display) Welcome, dear visitor!

Jared Posted January 7, 2016 Share #2 Posted January 7, 2016 Do I understand you correctly? It worked with firmware version 1.1 before? And now it doesn't work with firmware 1.2? Based on the image you provided, it appears that you are using both 'M' and 'ETTL' modes for two different zones. I would not expect the Canon protocols to work properly on a Leica camera for ETTL. The location and number of the contacts on a Canon hot shoe do not even match those of Leica (aside from ground and 'X-synch'). At best, you might be able to get all zones working in 'M' mode on the flash. I would not expect ETTL (or Nikon's iTTL) to work properly on a Leica camera. The protocols are completely different, and in the case of the Canon flash the pin arrangement isn't even the same. You could try running all zones in manual and see if that works. Slightly more challenging workflow since you would need to set the flash level individually on each flash rather than on the trigger, but that much is probably all that's possible. I'm not aware of any wireless solution that supports Leica flash protocols for TTL or HSS. - Jared Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jared Posted January 8, 2016 Share #3 Posted January 8, 2016 Sorry if I'm not understanding fully. I don't think English is your first language, and the translation is not very good. It sounds like the SL is not compatible with your wireless trigger. That isn't surprising since you are using a trigger designed for Canon cameras. Leica and Canon do not use the same flash protocols. They don't even have the same contacts in the hot shoe, so I'm not certain how this would have ever worked even with the prior firmware. If you use a flash trigger designed for Nikon cameras, which have the same contacts as Leica flashes, you can at least run the flashes in manual mode. The X-synch contact works the same way on virtually all flashes. Sorry I can't give better advice than that. - Jared Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
忘不了 Posted January 14, 2016 Share #4 Posted January 14, 2016 I also like this situation 1.1 can use PROFOTO wireless trigger cited B1, upgrade 1.2 after only the top flash can, test Canon wireless trigger and other brand of wireless trigger all the failures, I also two friends, too, do not know the cause of the problem.

Jared Posted January 14, 2016 Share #5 Posted January 14, 2016 I'm using a wireless trigger designed for Nikon camera bodies, and it will trigger multiple off camera flashes on multiple channels just fine. Version 1.2 firmware, which is what came with my camera. I'm not using TTL, of course. Just manual mode on the flashes. I'm not certain how the firmware could cause only one flash to fire. All the trigger should be detecting is the X-synch signal from the central pin of the hot shoe. The rest of the logic is in the trigger, not the camera, at least with manual exposures set. I'm not telling you you are wrong, just that I don't understand your situation. - Jared Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not telling you you are wrong, just that I don't understand your situation. I have used the same set of Cactus V2 and Cactus V5 radio remotes for the past 8 years or so, swapping them between camera bodies and triggering manual flash units through them and additionally through optical slave receivers. I haven't had a chance to test this out with the SL yet, but I can't imagine that it won't work the same as all my other cameras do (including the M-P). Dedicated flash units and RF remotes can be more fussy, though. I remember my Canon Speedlight was all but useless on anything other than a Canon DSLR body.

忘不了 Posted January 15, 2016 Share #7 Posted January 15, 2016 Advertisement (gone after registration) In 1.1 can use PROFOTO wireless trigger flash B1, upgrade 1.2 after the trigger in the M file can not be used, but Canon TTL and M set top flash can, I also two other friends, do not know the cause of the problem.

Now 1.2 firmware with Canon 600EX set top flash, TTL and M can be used Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wlaidlaw Posted January 15, 2016 Share #9 Posted January 15, 2016 I think that much of the flash firmware for the SL needs re-writing. Its behaviour on even direct connected Leica flashes (SF24, 26 and 58) is erratic to say the least. I have an SF64 on order but I have asked for it to be tested on an SL before I take delivery, to check that you can lock the shutter speed or set a floor speed as a multiple of focal length in Aperture priority and fixed ISO. At the moment you can use the SF58 in manual mode only, with the flash set to either TTL-HSS or Auto. The aperture is being correctly transmitted from the SL to the 58 by the 24-90 but not by M lenses, so at least you don't have to set that manually, if you are using the standard zoom. At least Leica are aware of the problems. Wilson Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

忘不了 Posted February 19, 2016 Share #12 Posted February 19, 2016 hello A problem, SL is 1.1 firmware support Canon export lead the wireless st-e3 and PROFOTO wireless flash trigger. All I had bought the camera. When 1.2 firmware upgrade is not able to use wireless PROFOTO cited flash device (TTL-C the canon version) and Canon ST-E3 wireless flash trigger device, but in firmware 1.2 good can 600EX the top flash can be used. PROFOTO wireless single point lead flash device can also be used. Has been waiting for more than 2 months, hope 1.3 firmware can be restored to use, otherwise only for the camera.

brill64 Posted March 1, 2016 Share #13 Posted March 1, 2016 ..there's a flash sync socket on the left side of the camera. could you try running a sync cable from your profoto radio trigger to there? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
