Can i use my sunpak 4000af with my canon rebel t1i?

According to the list at http://www.botzilla.com/photo/strobeVolts.html the 544 should be safe.

If you want to be absolutely safe, use something like http://www.adorama.com/WNSSHSHS.html to isolate the flash from the camera.

Yes.

It means that the transfer is in process. It's letting you know that you shouldn't turn off your camera - it is busy!

I have the same problem and i dont have a idea to solve it. Did you do something?

Try the following ones:

1. Phottix® Cleon I - Wire/Wireless Remote C6 Set

2. Wireless Remote Control V2s for Canon Rebel T1i

You can check on Ebay about them.

Regarding using the Sunpak 4000AF flash with my Canon EOS Digital Rebel, I can't get the flash to fire. There seems to be no combinations of settings that works to make the flash work. Could a weak battery in the Canon cause this? Does it require some other wire connector between the flash and the camera?

I know this is old technology now, I have a pocket digital for most of my uses, but I'd like to try bounce flash again on my old Rebel digital, and so I've gotten out my old camera and the flash I had bought for it. I had bought the Sunpak flash years ago and I honestly don't remember if I got it to work back then or not.

Thanks for any advice.

Yes, you can use Ni-mAh re-chargeable batteries with Sunpak Pz 4000

Canon digital uses E-TTL metering for best flash results, the older Sunpak unit isn't compatible with this, so it is not fully compatible. It may work in manual mode - but won't be as good as a more modern compatible digital flash like the Canon or Metz (eg 58AF1 Canon) versions.

probably in MANUAL mode only.... my Nikon and Canon's work with the pz4000 (at a save trip voltage I may add) but in a manual mode as mentioned above.....

Hi,

The Alpha 100 only supports pre-flash TTL and ADI flash control which are not supported by the Sunpak. The flash should ignite, but automatic controlling of its brightness is not possible.
