Remote shooting

oui j'ai aussi lu ca ...

bon, reste plus qu'à ouvrir un pocket wizard II, et ajouter une connexion externe vers le bouton TEST (vu que lui fonctionne en rafale) ...


Q: I am using the PW Plus II model, and I can't get the Lens Mounted Trigger, Stick-On Trigger, or the Manual Tripper to fire my remote camera in burst or continuous mode, but only in single shot mode, why?

A: This is because of the auto-transceiver function of the Pocket Wizard Plus II design (and only this model), an attempt by PW to make the relay function of the MultiMax model easier to use. The MultiMax model works correctly in burst mode when a Trigger Switch press is applied to port 1, while in the Plus II model, the port 1 jack auto switches to an "output" immediately after a switch press so the auto-relay function can happen more easily. It is this auto switch to output mode of the port 1 that prevents a continuous firing in burst mode. The solution is to only take one picture at a time, or use a MultiMax for the transmitter!

The following is a quote from Garry Montalbano, of The MAC Group of LPA Design (Pocket Wizard):

"This is a limitation of the Plus II. A button plugged into PORT 1 will not behave like holding down the TEST button. Technical reasons include:

* The PORTS perform different functions based on auto-transceiver operation. PORT 1 cannot be an input and an output at the same time, so when the unit is triggered, it switches to output so auto-relay can happen more gracefully.

* When PORT 1 is used as a camera input for remote flash triggering it is very beneficial for it to be "single shot" so you don't get multiple flashes when using a Hasselblad with mechanical lens contacts, for example.

Solutions to this specific problem include:
* Use the TEST button
* Use a MultiMAX as the Transmitter
* Use a MultiMAX as a Receiver and use a long contact time so that every trigger performs 5 shots, for example."
