Flash Guns

Can anyone tell me if the Yongnuo 568EX flash which I bought for my Nikon D800 will work with the Canon 5D3. When I was playing about with the buttons on the flash there came up on the rear screen a N & a C, also in the manual there are numerous references to Canon.

The mode on the flash is for the near IR remote mode, which will work, but you can’t mount it as the pins are different.

Thanks.
