Asked 8 years ago by Rissaroo.

• A:Answer I just figured it out as it doesn't tell you in the manual. Hold down the fn button until you get the fn - 01-0. Press down and change fn - 14-0 to fn 14-1. Sound should be off with those settings.

Q: QuestionSo I just bought this. I have a T7 1500D. It works if I have it mounted on the hot shoe but I bought it exclusively as a remote flash. How do I get it to trigger OFF then camera on a tripod?????

Asked 6 years ago by Eric51181.

• A:Answer For remote firing, press the left of the two middle buttons under the LCD screen until you see S1 or S2 appear. Now, when any other flash fires in the area, this flash will also fire. S1 is for if the triggering flash is in a manual mode and will flash only once. S2 is if the triggering flash uses a TTL mode or other pre-flash, so the Sunpak will ignite the pre-flash and fire when your shutter is opened.

Q: QuestionDoes this work with the Nikon D3100

Asked 5 years ago by SHAWN.

• A:Answer The Sunpak DF4000U is a "Universal Flash" for Canon and Nikon cameras only. Your camera must have TTL (Nikon) metering. I own the Nikon D3500 DSLR and this flash is awesome. The High Guide Number of 190 feet@ ISO 100. Works great on and off camera and with LumiQuest light modifiers .

Q: QuestionWhat’s a good flash trigger and receiver to match up to this flash?

Asked 4 years ago by TomBalchak.

• A:Answer This flash does have some of its own optical triggering capability, but it sounds like you need radio. I recently started using Neewer FC16 triggers for those situations. This is a basic trigger with no TTL and no controls from the camera, but they work and are affordable. If you prefer TTL and also remote adjustability in a radio system, look to Godox flashes and transmitter.

Q: QuestionIs this compatible with a canon t6?

Asked 7 years ago by jamesblount.

• A:Answer Hello James, In short, the answer to your question is yes it is comparable with Canon's T6, and many others. The SUNPAK DF4000U, for its price is an excellent addition to enhance your picture taking. I would purchase it again if need be, and I highly recommend this to anyone who takes pictures and has a camera that could use an external flash . I hope that I was able to help.

Q: QuestionWhat is the fastest shutter speed this will sync with?

Asked 6 years ago by RMPewitt.

• A:Answer I bought my children this model of Sunpak flash. They've had great success with them. One uses a Nikon, the other a Canon. Both dslrs. To answer your question, the design of the camera or lens being used will determine the fastest shutter sync speed. Older film-type slrs synced at 1/60th sec due to the focal plane shutter design. Cameras and lenses that use the copal shutters sync at higher speeds. In theory, this flash should sync with whatever speed the camera /lens specifies. The newest technology such as mirrorless slrs are unknown to me. Good luck.

Q: QuestionHow do you turn off the assist beam? Or the red light that appears on your subject ? Thanks.

Asked 7 years ago by Maxx.

• A:Answer That red light should not appear in your photo, turning off before the shutter opens. To turn it off, press and hold the function button until the Fn menu comes up. Use directional buttons to get to Fn-8 and change from 0 to 1 to turn off AF assist.

Q: QuestionI can’t decide which flash to get. Which one is better Meike MK910 or Sunpak DF4000U?

Asked 7 years ago by Audiophile.

• A:Answer I have the Phottix Mitros +. It is probably more expensive than the Meike or Sunpak but you will have much more versatility for you and your camera. With the Photitx you are able to take it off camera by adding a trigger. The receiver is built into the flash. You can buy cheaper now but as you progress in your photography you will want to improve your equipment. Then your old cheaper flash will be packed away in a box. A little more money now will pay off in the end.

Q: QuestionSometimes this flash works great, sometimes it has a VERY hard time recovering and actually flashing. How do you reset it? How can you ensure that the flash fires with every shot? I'm very confused and the manual isn't helping very much.

Asked 8 years ago by Lemalie.

• A:Answer Make sure the batteries are fully charged and also check the power settings. If it is on highest power setting it will take longer to recycle.
