If not, then someone else would have used your camera/trigger combo successfully before, so check Google for assistance. The procedure for shooting HSS should be documented in your camera’s User Guide. if you’re using High-Speed Sync (shutter speeds of higher than 1/250s), then ensure that you have selected HSS in your camera settings as well as in your controller/slave flash settings, as and where needed.your speedlite/commander is connected firmly and is pushed in fully on its relevant hot shoe (if external) and.everything is switched on (your batteries might have died).you have selected the relevant ‘master’/’slave’ setting on your flash if you use its built-in trigger functionality.Manual) is selected for your relevant group/channel on the commander

your flash’s group/channel combo is not switched off/disabled on the commander.

your flash or transceiver’s selected group and the channel is also selected on your commander (sometimes you accidentally touch one of the group/channel buttons that changes the selection).

The same rules apply to built-in and external triggers.

Everything revolves around the correct selection of groups and channels. There is not really much that can go wrong with the proven versions of external flash triggers. Keep in mind that controller/slave kits are sometimes available at a much lower cost than when buying the same units separately. I have added prices as available on Amazon. Let’s look at a few external radio flash triggers (commanders/transmitters/master controllers).

There are other non-brand options like the (by-now famous but expensive) Pocket Wizard. Are they more reliable? Perhaps some time ago, but not today when unreliable products simply do not survive. Be prepared to pay up to 3-4 times the price of non-brand names. Brand name units are also available, but, as usual, are quite expensive compared to these brands. Note: I am only going to look at Godox and Yongnuo options.

Other cameras’ flashes may trigger your slave flashes which may be a nuisance and drain your flashes’ batteries.

Affected by or turned useless by strong light/sunlight.

The slave (light-receiving) flashes have to be in the line of sight (almost in front) of your camera’s flash beam to see it.

Very simple to operate (no technical knowledge/settings required).

Very affordable (no additional expenses on a flash trigger kit).

Well, probably not at the same time, but so fast after your camera’s flash that it appears to be simultaneous.

Your speedlites and strobes’ built-in optical slave features pick up the flash from your camera and send out a flash at the same time.

It is also your most simplistic system and works as follows: This is your most affordable flash trigger mechanism, built into a lot of (especially older) speedlites and strobes.
