As far as I can tell, this is a power saving feature as the 'wake' and 'set' signals are combined in one very short transmission. When you change a setting via the YN622-TX controls (or the camera's menu if you're using the Canon version of the system), you need to do a half press of the camera's shutter button to tell the YN622-TX to transmit the change to the remote flash if it has been more than a few seconds since the TX has communicated to the flash. Thanks to all who got involved in this discussion and shared there knowledge and tips.Īs you are discovering, the YN622 and YN560 systems don't always behave the same. The resulting flash is indeed brighter or dimmer according to the changed value on the controller.
Only when I actually take a photo the adjusted output level on the controller is reflected in the flashes display. Not immediately, n'or when pressing the shutter half-way. The output power indicator on the flash however does not change. The zoom indicator on the flash as well as its zoom head responds not immediately, but as soon as the shutter of the camera is pressed half-way. But somewhat different than what I'm used to when using the YN560-TX and YN560-IV controller and flash combination. Now, when changing values for zoom and output power, the flash responds to it. The YN622N-TX commander should be installed to the camera's hot shoe, switched on and the group to which the flash is assigned should be set to M(anual) mode too. The Zoom setting should be set (or left) to A(uto). The YN685N flash should be set to 622 R.SLAVE mode and then to M(anual) mode.
Setting up yongnuo 622n for nikon supersync manual#
OK, I think I have it working in manual mode. It seems unlikely that both mine and the brand new ones are defective.
I visited a store that sells both units new (I bought mine used) and couldn't get any of the four possible combinations of controllers and flash units to work. However, with the YN685 in 603.SLAVE mode and when using my trusty YN560-TX controller, the flash unit DOES respond to changes in output power and zoom settings (including the repositioning of the zoom head). I can't get this to work with the YN685N flash unit either in 622R.SLAVE or in 622M.SLAVE manual mode. But the zoom head doesn't seem te move (no sound and no changed values). Only then the power output value on the flash unit is changed and matches the setting on the controller. No sound from the zoom head being repositioned and no changing values on the flash unit's display.įiring the flash using the TEST button on the controller DOES work. With the YN622N-TX and YN685N combination however, when in manual mode, the flash doesn't seem to respond to changes made on the controller to output power level and zoom setting. With the manual-only Yongnuo set, when changing output power and zoom setting on the controller the flash responds accordingly and shows the altered values in its display and you hear the zoom head repositioning. I cannot get the Yongnuo YN622N-TX controller to work properly with the Yongnuo YN685N flash unit in manual mode (haven't tried TTL mode yet).Ĭoming from a Yongnuo YN560-TX controller and Yongnuo YN560-IV flash units (which are manual-only) combination, I want to get the YN622N-TX and YN685N combination working in manual mode as well.
