Hey Phil, Pete and anyone else with the same issues. I can now confirm that the YN622C triggers work a treat! They bring my Neewer NW685C Flash back out of standby, control the Flash settings from the Canon 700Ds menu and also works perfectly in Manual. One happy chap right here! Thanks...

Hi Phil, Pete Thanks for the feedback and testing, looks like I'm going to try the 622s then. Fingers crossed and cheers Stu

Hi Phil V Thanks for the response, much appreciated. I'm using the Neewer FC16's, they work OK but if there are better ones that will bring the flash out of standby this would be perfect. No need to change the Flash :-). These one definitely do not bring it out of standby. Do you have any...

Hi Snappers Just getting in to using Flashes and a while ago I purchased a Neewer 685C, it's a nice flash and all the work that I have done with it has been off camera, but the flash has been close to me. This model of flash goes in to standby after one minute! Neewer have confirmed that this...

Again thanks for the feedback, had it cleaned this afternoon and thank fully we are back up and running again! :banana: Definitely going to look in to the cleaning kits that you have mentioned though for next time, £65 a pop for a sensor clean. Cheers and happy snapping all.

Hey everybody thanks for the varied feedback :) I've shot against a white piece of paper and yes I can see the mark and still other dust as well :( I've been thinking about the proper cleaning swabs but let's see what happens... I'm hoping this is the law ohms! Thanks peeps.

OK I think I have done bad. Had a few dust bunnies on my 700D and thought that I'd have a crack at blowing them away. Got myself a loupe, OK I can see the dust, got myself a pucker Rocket blower, I can blow said seen dust away. Blowing, looking and keeping the camera upside down is not so...

Hey thanks for all the responses. Pingu666 you are correct I currently have a Canon 400D and it's a great camera. My main issue is that I only really get to travel abroad when on company business, this basically means that I have to carry my laptop with me and taking the DSLR and associated...

Hi All I am currently looking for a bridge camera but just when I thought I was sorted I see three models and now I don't know! The three models I looking at are: - Panasonic FZ200 Canon SX50 Nikon P520 I just wondered if anyone is using any of these cameras? I am currently...

Thanks for the quick replies! I'm on it! Reports back later. Cheers Stu

Hey All I'm sad :( I went to Scotland and took some, what I thought were nice pictures. It would appear that when taking sunsets there are marks on the images! I noticed that there was marks on the lens so cleaned it and off on my merry way. All seemed good until I took some sunsets in...

Hey Thanks for your honest replies and yes you are correct I am new to this type of photography, outside pictures only normally. A steep learning curve is always good so any pointers at all is much appreciated. Cheers Stu.

Hi All I need help please? My girlfriend is just in the process of start her own little jewellery business and I have been voted (only one vote but apparently that's enough for a majority!) to create the website and for this I need to take pictures of the jewellery that she has made...

Hi All After a total frustrating Saturday I have to admit there is a really large element of luck involved in photography! It started with a nice walk buy the river, noticed a Kestrel or similar flying very low, thought this would make a nice shot if only I had the right lens fitted, by...

Hi Ali Thanks for your quick reply! I have already been branded a "Geek" by my family so bedtime reading of camera techniques is not going to help my cause any, I will have to sneek some relevant reading matter in to the gentlemans reading room rather than a mini crossword book! Thanks for...
