622C TRANSCEIVER CONTROL MODES
REMOTE & MIX
The original YN-622C transceiver can work in either of two modes – Remote or Mix.
Remote Mode implements standard Canon wireless protocols.
Mix Mode can work with E-TTL and manual modes together, but loses the ability to manage
manual levels from the camera.
Setting the Mode
• The Remote/Mix mode is set only on the transmitter 622C, not on any remote 622Cs.
• Do not try to set or un-set Mix mode using the buttons on remote receivers.
• To switch between Remote Mode and Mix Mode, hold down [CH SET] on the transmitter
622C until the channel indicator has winked red/green 3 times.
• In standby, the channel indicator will:
Stay off in Remote Mode
Stay lit in Mix Mode.
• The last-used setting is remembered by the Transmitter unit during power-down
Warning: If a different 622C is later used as the Transmitter, it may have remembered different
settings!
Camera Remote Mode
• Type A camera External Flash menus take priority over most on-flash settings.
• Class 1 flashes are controlled by the camera’s menus.
• Class 2 to 5 flashes are controlled by the local on-flash settings.
• Flash Mode is set in-camera and may be E-TTL or Manual or Multi.
• The CH indicator is off when in standby to indicate Remote mode.
• This is the Factory default mode.
On-Flash Mix Mode
• The local on-flash settings take priority. E-TTL and Manual can be mixed.
• All Classes of flash may be used. Each flash (including an on-TX flash) can be set locally
on-flash to E-TTL, Manual or Multi depending on the flash’s capabilities.
• Flash mode is fixed in-camera to E-TTL.
• FEC, FEB, Ratio and Shutter sync can be set in-camera.
• The camera’s zoom setting is disabled. Each flash will use its own setting.
• If the shutter sync mode is set by the camera menu, the on-flash setting is ignored. A Type
B camera defaults to hi-speed sync.
• The CH indicator stays lit when in standby to indicate Mix Mode.
• Any flash set to E-TTL will emit a preflash. If its mode is Manual or Multi, it won't.
