Controlling Yungnuo flashguns from my a6000


Recommended Posts

Hello from a newcomer and new owner of an a6000.

 

This is my first post to the forum so please forgive me if this question has been posed before.

 

I have just bought a Sony a6000 to replace my Canon 7D which I will now sell.

I had also previously bought some Yungnuo flash gear to suit the Canon for off camera flash primarily, two YN568EX flash guns and four YN-622C wireless trigger transceivers.

What I particularly like about the setup is that I have full control of the flashes from the 7D's menu, altering each flash gun's settings seperately without having to walk over and adjust them manually.

 

Is there any way I can do this from the a6000? I can't find any reference to flash gun control on the a6000 menu, and the user's manual is painfully inadequate.

Alternatively could I simply purchase a Yungnuo YOYN622CTX or similar that would allow me to achieve the same result?

I'm looking in particular for high speed sync capability, controlled from the camera menu or from something like the YOYN622CTX.

I don't want to have to buy either Sony flashguns nor any other third party maker's as I'm very happy with my Yungnuo kit.
Aslo I'm broke right now as I also got a RX100 111 as well as the 55-210 lens for the a6000.

Thanks in advance for your replies.

ps

in spite of the many articles I've noticed about Yungnuo kit not working in the a6000 hot shoe, mine fires fine without any modification, either with the flash on camera or with the tranceivers mounted in the hotshoe for off camera flash.

    • I just found your post as I was searching for an answer to the same question.  I realized that I can not set the external flash setup in my Sony A7CII when I attach any of my Godox and Insignia flashes.  They seem to work fine, other than the auto zoom being stuck at the widest focal length, but flash settings are greyed out in the menu. Did you ever figure out an answer for this?
    • So long story short, I'm at a crossroads and need to unload some gear. My main cam is a A7R3. I also lucked into a Fuji GFX100s a few years ago. Because of some upcoming things, I really need to sell some stuff. I could sell the old Pentax kit, but can't bring myself to. On the other end, I don't want to get rid of the Fuji either. What I'm thinking is sell both the Fuji kit and my A7R3, get an A7R5 and call it a day. I get a camera that really bridges most of the gaps between my current Sony & the Fuji's capabilities. Yeah I loose some stuff from the Fuji, but I'd also be slimming down to one lens ecosystem.  I'd keep the Pentax as there are things I specifically use it for. I can't bring myself to pull the trigger and go the R5 route & life with out the 102mp medium format. Thoughts or other options? My photography: mostly night photography, b&w and minitatures (yeah, Star Wars type stuff.) And landscapes, something bothe the Pentax & Fuji do really well with. If I got rid of the Fuji and upgrade fropm the R3, I pocket lots of needed cash and still have something that checks alot  of the boxes the Fuji does.
    • Are you using a genuine Sony, fully charged battery?  Do you have an A/C adapter?  Do you have a user manual -- these tell you have to deal with these types of problem -- like a complete reset.
