In this mode, the YN 560 III will trigger upon detection of any strobe, be it a pre-flash or main exposure flash.

The YN 560 III's S1 mode is intended to be a standard, dumb, manual slave mode.

I don't have the equipment necessary to try this, but if I do I'll update this review.)Ĭonfusing, eh? Here's why (based on my experience + speculation). However, I've read there may be a DIY trick to cover up your pop-up flash so that the light doesn't go through and contribute to exposure, but will still trigger the YN 560 III. (One practical consequence is that you can only use a YN 560 III in slave mode when the built-in pop-up flash contributes to exposure of your shot. The YN 560 III must be set to the "S1" mode, NOT the "S2" mode. However, when you use a Pentax + manual lens, you must set the on-body pop-up flash to the standard "On" mode (which is really the only option when using manual lenses). The YN 560 III must be set to the "S2" mode, NOT the "S1" mode. Long story short, when you use a Pentax + autofocus lens, you must set the on-body pop-up flash to the standard "On" mode (the first option in the flash menu), NOT to the "Wireless Mode" (the last, right-most option in the flash menu).

Wireless slave mode is where things get a little dicey in terms of compatibility between the YN 560 III and Pentax, due to the behavior of the Pentax on-body pop-up flash. My radio triggers are ordered and on route and I'll update after they come in. Off-body and wireless, the Yongnuo can be set to two different slave modes (S1 and S2) or a radio frequency (RF) triggered wireless mode. I was only able to shoot at 1/160 or slower with the YN 560 III on-body.

It does not exhibit the same behavior with the YN 560 III. With my Metz 58 af-2, the camera would automatically adjust down from 1/200 to 1/180 when the Metz is mounted. However, it does not fire at 1/180 (the fastest available sync speed), or I don't know how. (I suppose off-body + wired is possible, but I don't have the accessories for it.) So far, I've only used the YN 560 III on-body to confirm that it works. The YN 560 III can be used both on-body with a Pentax as well as off-body + wireless. I have no experience with the prior Yongnuo 560's. The Yongnuo YN 560 III exhibits some quirky behavior with Pentax bodies so I'll post my informative experiences here. Great value, but not 100% Pentax compatible Highly recommended cheap, convenient, reliable flash setup Quarter power can totally freeze any skate trick as long as it is darker out and the ambient is overpowered. They freeze action OKAY at half power (probably 500th of a second), and well above 1000th of a second at quarter power. I have never had them go off at different times or not at all. They always receive signal and go off in exact sync. Attach one rf603 trigger to your camera, and you are good to go. Just turn them, set power, zoom, and position. I shoot skateboarding and these are very convenient on the go. I needed a compact flash setup to carry in my camera backpack while skating around the city. I have had 4 of these, they are just great. HSS not possible on Pentax, Entirely manual Powerful, Reliable, Easy to use multiple flashes with only one rf603 trigger on camera (they have a built in reciever), Can freeze action at lower power levels, Solid build, Easy to use, Zoom Therefore my advise is to stay away from these or get enough to have a backup. The oldest of the pack is actually the only one still working normally. My flashes were seldom used with high power settings let alone high frequencies. Before these issues they seemed to be the perfect solution for of camera flash. Similar reports can be found all over the net regarding at least the manual Yongnuo flashes.

However I experienced an major issue with two out of three units: These eventually were only able to fire at full power regardless of power settings, mode etc. Power output and recycle time are good and were never an issue for me. In radio mode the flashes sometimes fire on their own, possibly due to external interferences. Triggering using radio triggers is more reliable with multiple flashes than the optical method. Optically syncing to first and second curtain work well. The YN 560 II has a user interface, which is easy to control.
