[@Verdoux007]

Yongnuo's own manual that comes with the flash is next to useless, but your video cleared up so many things (even with the excessive amount of okays). :)

[@creativityataglance7775]

Thank you Joe, Your tutorial was just what I was looking for in order to go step by step to understand the YN560 IV speedlite.

[@hallie3767]

I love this video. Like someone else said, I don't use my flahes very often, so when I need a refresher, I come back to this video and the lightbulb comes back on in my head every time! Thank you!

[@sahja324]

Thank you! It had been quite a while since I used them and couldn't get them to sync with my controller. This did the trick!!

[@cereceresfamily]

THANK YOU THANK YOU! The instructions were a bit confusing! Thanks for breaking it down for me!

[@ted_jerome]

Great tutorial, Joe! I'm an advanced amatuer photographer, but a complete newbie to flash, so this was pitched just right for me. I'm eager to explore your other videos to see what else I can learn! I have the 560 IV flash and the 560 transmitter, too, and a Fuji XT-1 camera system.

[@JoeJacksonJr]

Thank you Ted, I have many tutorials using speedlites and more to come. Hope you find you that interest you. :-)

[@Prime8inAtlanta]

Well done Joe. I just received my 2-YN560IV's and a YN560TX and was struggling through the manuals when I decided to see if anyone had done video. Your quick video helped me get everything up and running and gave me a pretty good understanding on how to get them all to play nice together, and I thank you for that. Still not sure exactly how to utilize the zoom function so I'll need to read up on that. Certainly appreciate the time you took to create this helpful video!!!

[@JoeJacksonJr]

Thanks for taking the time to comment. Glad the video was helpful for you. Think of the zoom option as a way to narrow the light beam and focus it on subjects further away. Hope this helps :-)

[@Ukuleleal]

Many thanks Joe. I've always found your tutorials to be first class, but this time you have been a life saver. Couldn't work out why one of my flashes suddenly stopped firing. I'd accidentally changed it from RX to TX mode. :)

[@susanpszenitzki3953]

I've had my Yongnuo speedlights for a little more than a year now and I still turn to your video whenever I have a question or don't remember a setting. Thanks so much for this informative video.

[@JoeJacksonJr]

Thank you Susan. Always glad to see people find my videos helpful. :-)

[@eileenpewterbaugh8293]

Susan. I do the same exact thing

[@LongTimeTTFan]

Thank you, Joe. Very detailed step by step demo and explanation. I ordered YN-560 IV two days ago and it is on its way. Your video helps a lot. I have a pretty good idea how to use it once it arrives. Thanks again.

[@JoeJacksonJr]

Glad I was able to help :-)

[@suzetteanthony5181]

I appreciate your clarifying this flash for me. Now that I can use it, I love it.

[@Eraseri]

This is just perfect tutorial. I keep returning to this since I don't use my Yongnuo's so often. I especially like that Joe keeps start of his video very compact. There are far too many tutorials and other videos out there where you have to scroll to the middle of video to get into business

[@JoeJacksonJr]

Thank you. Yea intros hurt channels more then they know. :-)

[@mmsotster]

Yes that's what I was thinking, but I wanted to explore my possibilities. Perfect! Thank you a lot for your input Joe! 👍

[@JoeJacksonJr]

Glad you found it helpful. Hopefully you can find more videos that you like on my channel as well.

[@williamgallagher5655]

Joe's Photo & Video Channel yet another great video Joe, just ordered 2 with the tx receiver, looking forward to using them, will no doubt be back to this tutorial when they arrive, you have a great way of explaining how these speedlites work, thanks again for the help, keep up the good work, from grateful follower from N.ireland

[@demonhunter20]

Your video is a time saver!. The paper manual was a little confusing in explaining how to use the flash functions. Thanks for a great tutorial video.

[@JoeJacksonJr]

Thank you, glad you found it helpful.

[@bharathsurs]

Thanks, Joe ! ..just bought the flash that was recommended by a friend, at 4pm..and could set it up within an hour ! Video is better rhan the manual and to the point !

[@JoeJacksonJr]

+Bharath Urs Thanks for commenting. Glad you enjoyed the video and found it helpful.

[@Martyn0001]

Great thanks. It’s a complicated beast when you first get one.

[@Groupie333]

Again it takes someone to clear up poor translations to English. Thank you Joe, you have made the equipment operation very clear and very concise. I did not need to wade through any non-related narrative. I shall hold this video near for future consult. BTW, Love the the Southern accent!

[@god563616]

this was great review!! Just what i needed! thank you!

[@SidBonkers51]

Great video that has cleared up a few questions I had regarding the differences between the two. Many thanks.

[@JoeJacksonJr]

Glad you found the video helpful.

[@ssfalk41]

Fantastic video Joe! This taught me every thing I needed to take my photography to the next level. Seriously THANKS!

[@JoeJacksonJr]

Glad to help :-)

[@MrYossi2010]

I did a off camera flash workshop recently. On the workshop the tutor used these flashes. We was advised that we should buy the YN-560 IV. I was quite surprised at the images considering that the flash unit is inexpensive. I have now bought one from Amazon. Your explanation was clear, concise and to the point. Thank you, Joe for taking the time to upload this detailed step by step demo and explanation. I have given you the thumbs up!

[@JoeJacksonJr]

Many Thanks,, Glad you found the tutorial helpful. Yes these are really good flashes and many photographers do not need all the extra features of the more expensive flash units.

[@Jimdonahue39]

Just purchased the Yongnuo YN560 1V 2ea and the 560 Controller and I going to need a whole lot of help, through these videos, and I really appreciate this video, Thanks.

[@JoeJacksonJr]

Thank you for commenting. My current lighting tutorials are centered around these flash units.

[@nashbaya2809]

Just bought this flash today online. I have to say, after watching your vid, it feels like I am now more prepared for when my flash finally arrives. 😂 thank you so much! Although as a filipino, i had troubles with the accent 😂 but still, many thanks!

[@anianoenrique2115]

I just got the Yongnuo YN560Li and even though the controls are slightly different, this video greatly helped me understand controlling it because the manual does a terrible job at it.

[@JoeJacksonJr]

Thank you.

[@BadWeber]

Oh my gosh!! I have been searching forever to find a tutorial on this thing.Thank you for explaining all this.

[@JoeJacksonJr]

Thank you for commenting. Glad I was able to help. :-)

[@BadWeber]

So I have a quick question. When the Yn560-IV is in transmitter mode, is it possible to have it function solely as a transmitter? I have 1 560 iv and 2 560 iii's and I want to see if I can use my IV to control the flash on the iii's without firing the flash on my iv. Does that make sense? And is that possible? My understand was that the iv serves as a transmitter, I just wasn't sure if I am going to have to just go and buy a transmitter. Thanks for the help!

[@BadWeber]

Actually, it looks like while in TX mode it does just what I was hoping it would do. So does this mean that while in TX mode it does not fire the flash at all then? Or is there a way to make them all go off? Or for that would you just do regular mode putting the others in slave?

[@JoeJacksonJr]

Yes you can shut the flash off on the unit and use it only to trigger the other flash units.

[@katarzynabuksinska1305]

Great and clear tutorial! Thank you so much :-)

[@oscarhalder]

thanks so much for the video. I just received my Yn560iV today, and it happened the be the first flash i have ever owned. As i shoot with a fuji camera i had to buy a manual flash. the manual that came with the flash really scared me :). I can't thank you enough for this video. Hoping you will have some more coverage on how to use manual flashes.

[@JoeJacksonJr]

+Oscar Halder Hey Oscar, thanks for commenting. Glad you found the video helpful. I will be making many videos through out the years on using these flashes. I also have a couple of videos on my channel now you may be interested in. Check out this video on Understanding Flash Exposure kzbin.info/www/bejne/pnKyfq2Yab2eg6M.

[@zone47]

Thanks, that was helpful, I forgot how to use mine. I have the controller and two flashes that I like to both be in slave mode.

[@Enfelis]

Excellent video! I just purchased my second yn560iv and truly enjoy them. My first one did get stuck on full power using a Sony a7r but it singeing replaced. Gave me a reason to get a second as I needed an ofc using the 560tx for a shoot prior to the replacement being here. My question is what would you use Multi for? Like in what scenario?

[@JoeJacksonJr]

+Enfe Thanks for commenting. Multi flash is great for when you want to take a series of photos per se, yet only one actual photo. For example I have a tutorial coming up I am working on. Where my model will flip her hair back very fast and I want to take 3 shots and combine them into one. Well this is actually very easy with multi flash. For example I will set my flash to strobe 3 times in less then a second. Then I will set my cameras exposure to be open for 1 second. So when we fire the flash, the final photo will have 3 shots in one photo. Much like a dance club with strobe lights, which actually is pretty much exactly what it is. The actual hardest part of this is getting our timing down right. I should be releasing this tutorial about Apr 21st. Cheers, Joe

[@dysonzulu5612]

Its the best video very helpful

[@JoeJacksonJr]

Glad it helped

[@michaljesensky4201]

Hey Joe, great video. Easier to follow than the manual. I just got two of these along with YN560-TX wireless controller. I have one question. Can these be used as additional light? Not flash, not strobes, just as light? If so can you post correct setting? Thanks a lot.

[@JoeJacksonJr]

+Michal Jesenský Great question, but no they can not. The biggest down side to speedlites is the lack of a modeling light. Hope this helps, Joe..

[@oxudsheki]

Thanks

[@Cageless-Birds]

Is there a way to turn off the blinking light in the front flash when it is in receiver mode?

[@JoeJacksonJr]

Excellent question. To be quiet honest I do not know. I have never tried. You could check the custom functions if their is an option. If there is, it would be there.Hope this helps.

[@ted_jerome]

Of course, there's always gaffer tape! ;-)

[@darrenflener7147]

Such a great tutorial!!! Thank you. The fact that they can be transmitter and receiver means that I do not need to buy manual flash controller. Is that correct?

Thanks Joe this was helpful! Any chance of the same tutorial on the newer 660 model?

Hey Tim, actually yes. I purchased the 660 just to make a tutorial on it also. I am working on it this week and will have it posted by Thursday Jan 5th. :-)

[@fsevilla1]

Great tutorial i have a queation can i use it as a transmitter only so it wint fire the flash when i uae it on the hot ahoe but will trigger other yn560 iv ? Thanks

[@putuarjawa459]

Great Tutorial,i am huge fan of strobist photography,i also apply YN560IV if in TR mode is it posible triggering other Flash as a Slave to fire?Tq very much

[@durgeshmaharjan8064]

The way you make tutorial, i like it...

[@JoeJacksonJr]

Thank you, much appreciated.

[@OdelliaFirebird]

Hi Joe, Thanks for the video. Can you use the flash on it's own or do you need the transmitter to use this flash? I can't seem to find a video to give me a clear answer. If you have one, showing how to sync it on its own to the camera, please link it in the reply to my comment. Much appreciate it!

[@MephistoRolling]

great video, would have been nice if you explained what the slave modes and stuff were too. and why you would use burst flashes instead of a single flash (i'm guessing like a moving strobe effect?)

[@JoeJacksonJr]

I actually did make videos on them as they deserved their own video for explanation.

[@meatintaco2002]

Thank you for quick ref. on the YN560 saved me a pain in the ass of a read =) keep em coming .. would like to see something on the Manual flash controller as well =o
