Cannot get Wireless control to work
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this flash plan to use as a commander to do off camera flash but cannot get it to work with HVL-F32M. Wasted a lot of time and research to try different things but the result is the same. Probably need another flash with wireless remote capability. That mean another one of this flash or F45RM or F60RM to get it to work. As a side note, this flash build quality is good.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend Great flash!
