in RX mode it already has a certain group set. But the YN560 IV from the box is already activated, i.e. Initially, the YN560 III comes without a 'activation' band. The YN560 IV flash can only control up to three groups of remote flash units, while YN560-TX can control up to six led groups.Īlso, the YN560 IV has slightly changed the control, instead of the 'GR' (group selection) function, the YN560 IV uses the 'ACT' (flash activation) function. YN560 IV can now partially replace the transmitter YN560-TX. TX ie Transmitter - transmitter (transmitter) mode.Īs a result, the YN560 IV has a built-in radio transmitter that can work both as a receiver and as a transmitter. This flash behavior is called master flash or MASTER flash and is abbreviated on the YN560 IV. FROMama on my own YN560III could not work as a master / control flash. This behavior of the flash is called slave mode, on flashes YN560III / YN560 IV is abbreviated RX ie R eceiver - receiver (receiver) mode. Using compatible flash / radio sync flash YN560III could only be controlled remotely. The main difference between the YN560 IV and the previous model YN560III Now you can control other compatible flashes over the air. The YN560 IV can be used on all cameras that have a standard hot shoe with a center sync terminal. Important 3: this flash is not designed for any one system like Nikon or Canon. With a fixed lens, there are no particular problems with this inconvenience. This can be a little embarrassing when shooting with a zoom lens. Important 2: focal length (zoom) must be set manually.
So 1/1 means full / maximum flash power, and, for example, 1/32 means that only one thirty-second of the maximum power will be used. Power is set as a fraction of the total power.
Mostly manual flash is used by amateur photographers as a very cheap alternative to original TTL automatic flashes, as well as by experienced users as remote flashes.
It attracts with its low cost, built-in radio synchro for working in slave or master modes. The logical continuation of the previous model YN560III. YN560 IV - popular budget external flash.
