Yongnuo 568 EX II HSS Test

[@mikemc1009]

How about HSS with remote trigger, such as the YN622C?

[@DelphiTheDolphin]

As far as I know the first version of the YN568EX wasn't able to do HSS... is there any hint on the flash itself, stickers or the box it came in that shows a difference? The Yongnuo-website itself says that the only difference between the 568EX and EX II are HSS and Master-mode... and at the same time it says the 568EX (without II) can do HSS now too.... quite odd. I don't feel very sure to buy a one without knowing a mark to identify the HSS function...

[@DannyFyffe]

It does say on the box HSS. I even showed that on the video so the version II does indeed have HSS and it works all the way to 1/8000 of a second as I demonstrated that too.

[@bunsoyalbaik]

Danny Fyffe recommended because I bought a YN568EX II for Canon

[@AOJOPhotography]

with what triggers, its not working with my rf603c triggers with my 6d

[@ppreuscho]

Hi. If i got yn622c would i be able to comtrol power of 500ex thru the camera (6d) ?

[@DannyFyffe]

manual mode makes no difference on that. In amnual mode you set your aperture and shutter speed, but shooting is the same so the Yongnuo will shoot the same as it did in AV. Thanks for the question.

[@TheRealSTONEYXL]

Any way to trick my YN560s to do this; I own 3 of them, or do I need to buy some 568EXs? Thx.

[@rickyny78]

My 568 didn't work with my Nikon D7000. At higher shutter speeds I get the black bars on the pictures. Anyone has the same problems when using the flash on a Nikon camera? Thanks

[@2greenhorn]

what about in manual mode does it make any difference thanks

[@marianbrincko9370]

You can send the video to work Pixel King with YN568EX through camera menu (TTL, manual, HSS). Thank you.

[@praleeshprasannan660]

Is this flash will work with pocket wizard system.........

[@PECEMK1]

Will HSS work on Canon T3i?

[@djcline6520]

You cant see the differences?

[@gap6133]

Will the 568EX work the same (HSS) off camera with the 7D? Thanks

[@Pankajnichal]

Dear Danny i am planing to purchase flash light, but confuse which i buy YN-565EX, YN-568EX & YN-568EX II.mi Dslr model is Nikon d7100. so please help me to choose correct Flash for my new Nikon D7100.........

[@DannyFyffe]

You want the 568 EX II for Nikon. It will have I-TTL and high speed sync and you will love it! Hope this helps!

[@TopMonk7]

Hi Danny, I have the Yongnuo 568 EX but I can't get the HSS icon to turn on the flash. Can you tell me how to do this?

[@DannyFyffe]

+Sean Saldan Page 58 of the manual tells you how to do it. The manual is located at yongnuo.com.cn/usermanual/pdf/YN568EXIIy.pdf

[@RealPearlMania]

At 1/4000 shutter speed, the background of the photo was not dark, because the flash power on the speedlight has to be in manual mode and the aperture needs to be narrower. If it's in TTL, then it won't work.

[@DannyFyffe]

Thanks for that tip. Hopefully it helps others out. Thanks for watching and contributing to the conversation.

[@f00d15600d]

Hi Danny - I have the YN568EX on my Canon 5D Mark III. When I set the flash on High Speed and set the camera to Tv, as I increase the shutter speed from 1/60 to 1/400 to 1/1000 to 1/4000 & 1/8000 the photos get progressively darker. What am I doing wrong?

[@gilbertsantos9949]

+Vik Kumar please let me interrupt the shutter speed control the ambient light but the subject still the same exposure.so as your shutter speed go higher in number ( ie 1/____) your background become darker .Very useful in shooting under the sun .

[@FranktheDachshund]

Vik Kumar

[@razorseal]

Danny, isn't the background supposed to get darker as you shorten the duration? with all the shots here and HSS on, the background stayed the same.

[@originunknown3209]

Ok, to your knowledge, do you know if this flash will sync 'off camera' at 1/8000th sec? Or is it just 1/250th sec?

[@DannyFyffe]

Michael: I do not have the YN622C triggers, but I do have Pixel Kings. It will work I can guarantee that, but if you would like me to post a video I will. Let me know if it will help. Thanks for watching and writing.

[@ionelpavel3672]

Ok, but how do you set the Speedlight to high speed sinc???

[@DannyFyffe]

The manual is online. It will show you step by step how to do it.

[@OffTheLens]

can you get this result with alien bees? or anything faster that 1/200

[@DannyFyffe]

I have never used Alien Bees, but these do have HSS which will match your camera to 1/8000th of a second. It will drain he batteries much faster and the light is weaker because of all the pulses, but it certainly works.

[@DannyFyffe]

I had plenty of light on so in this case, little affect would be noticeable.

[@stevenstocking5855]

Hi Danny. I was wondering if it only does high speed sync on ttl. I was thinking of getting one to use as a manual flash for my fuji. cheers steve

[@DannyFyffe]

These are only made for Canon or Nikon so they would not work on a Fuji. Sorry.

[@b991228]

You should have done the test with a Yongnuo Transceiver shooting off camera. The hardware would operate equally well yet you get the advantages of getting the improved lighting when shooting off-camera. The transceivers are a great buy and easy to operate.

[@DannyFyffe]

I did this test 10 years ago. I appreciate you viewing it and commenting,

[@DannyFyffe]

Vik Kumar: I cannot reply directly to ou for some reason. You weren't doing anything wrong. Remember as your aperture gets smaller you allow less light in for less time so your pictures will be darker. Also, the flash is firing in microbursts instead of one hard flash so you also have less light there. So HSS sync is a trade off usually when you are in bright conditions, but as you stop down, you do allow less light in for less amounts of time as your shutter speed goes up. That is the exposure triangle at work.

[@c0pyimitati0n]

Do you think this will work with the 5d mark iii? If so are the only settings that you had to setup for this to work is enabling HSS on the flash?

[@DannyFyffe]

That is exactly what I shoot with so I can say yes, it definitely works with it.

[@c0pyimitati0n]

Danny Fyffe so i just need the flash and that's it? Nothing else?

[@DannyFyffe]

If you fire it on camera then that's it. If you are firing it remotely, you need a trigger of some sort.

[@c0pyimitati0n]

Danny Fyffe well that is very awesome. People make it seem much harder.

[@c0pyimitati0n]

Danny Fyffe you rock man.

[@brianminkc]

I would like to see it work on a Nikon

[@atuljain67]

does 7d work on burst mode during hss..

[@DannyFyffe]

It will, but remember that during HSS the flash is actually pulsing 1,000's of times and so your light will be far less than when not using HSS and your batteries will get depleted very quickly. Only use HSS when absolutely necessary if you are shooting a long event like a wedding outside.

[@atuljain67]

Danny Fyffe thanx for prompt reply..plz visit yourshot.nationalgeographic.com/profile/282415/

[@bandages311]

If you wanna use this off camera what trigger would you suggest. I have pocket wizard x plus but I don't think it's compatible

[@DannyFyffe]

Yongnuo makes some I know that will work.

[@DannyFyffe]

Yes it will! I have the 7D and I can say definitively it does.

[@Smallgbeat]

will this fire with a RF603 trigger ?

[@DannyFyffe]

+Tet chaje tv I do not have those triggers, but I would guess they would. A trigger just sends a Fire command and as long as it is ETTL, I don't see how they can't fire them.

[@MudraLaszlo]

Hi, can you use hss in manual mode?

[@DannyFyffe]

I never tested that and I'm not sure if it can be done. It works in TTL to be sure, but in manual mode, I really don't know. Sorry.

[@RDmediaTV]

Great video

[@rjay1103]

is this compatible for canon 550d?

[@DannyFyffe]

It absolutely should be. It works from the same Ettl system.

[@_patontheback_]

Can you do action shots with this flash? Let's say 1/1000 with multiple shots?

[@DannyFyffe]

When it is fully charged, you could do some, but after a bit it would take time to recharge the flash so it can fire again.

[@RubenLopez360]

Distance is a handicap, using HSS you will get less power. This video test was made shoting at something very close :P

[@DannyFyffe]

***** I only shoot canon so I don't have access to any Nikon camera's. I assure you though, they will work as long as you set them up for Nikon and not canon. Hope that helps.

[@originunknown3209]

Nice video! Someone asked if this flash will sync with the 7D at 1/8000th off camera, you just said you'd make them a video and didn't say either way. So does it sync?

[@DannyFyffe]

From my description I said Yongnuo HSS Test on the Canon 7D. I use TV on the canon to remove all ambient light. Next, I shoot images at 250th, 500th, 1,000th, 2,000th, 4,000th and 8,000th of a second to show that HSS does work on the Yongnuo 568EX Flash. So yes, HSS will sync all the way to 1/8000th of a second. Does that help?

[@scottash1887]

well you talked me into that flash for my 7D .Last flash i bought was many years ago for my film camera the EOS 1N i still have it and a A5 i was looking at the Minolta x9 they are old film cameras but they are going for way more then the 1N . like 3 to 5 times more .I like your Video's thanks its helped me .

[@DannyFyffe]

Scott Ash So glad you enjoy the videos. The flash is pretty decent. I hope to see some of your work from it. Thanks for watching and commenting. It always warms my heart to know I helped someone.

[@scottash1887]

I see some changes not on the chair but back ground every picture in back ground is tiny bit darker and my eyes are not that great

[@DannyFyffe]

Scott Ash I'm sorry.

[@heberalexandreperalta3697]

I think cuz the f-stop did not get darker

[@DannyFyffe]

I only shoot canon, but I now Nikon has HSS (High Speed Sync) If you turn that on as I did in my video, the flash will work all the way to 1/8000th of a second. Turn on HSS and try it again.

[@gap6133]

I had sent the same basic question to the ThePhotoGaget and this is that reply: Thanks for your message. 568EX supports remote HSS as well. However the built-in flashes of Canon cameras are not able to trigger HSS. You would have to use ST-E2 or a compatible radio flash trigger like YN622 or a Canon 580 EX flash. Thanks again! Have you had experiences contrary to this, that is to ask, have you had to use a flash trigger also to get the 586EX to fire off camera? Thanks GAP PS: good video

[@DannyFyffe]

I just uploaded my newest KZbin video. It covers HSS on the Yongnuo 568EX Flash. For those who don't know, HSS is High Speed Sync. The video is located at Yongnuo HSS Test Enjoy it!

[@rickyny78]

I did, it just don't work with Nikon

[@DannyFyffe]

Gary: I created a video just for you to answer this question. I hope you will check it out. It is less than 5 minutes long. If you want bto see a video with the popup flash on the 7D doing the same thing, I can make that as well and show my settings and all that. Just let me know. Thanks.

[@midhunmohan0m0pillai]

awesome..

[@stevenstocking5855]

Cheers.

[@canturgan]

Just leave it on HSS all of the time, there's no need to turn it off.

[@DannyFyffe]

If you do that, you will wear your batteries out in only a few flashes. Only use it when necessary. Do NOT leave it on. HSS will also not give you the flash power you will require on longer distances.

[@canturgan]

Danny Fyffe If you go below the flash sync speed it will automatically adjust to short duration flash output so there is no need to worry.
