Dear Photographers,

I have a problem with my off camera set up. Can you advise please?

I have:

Canon 40D
2x PW PLUS II
580ex II (Master)
430ex II (Slave)

I was going to trigger 580 with PW, set up 580 to master, which would trigger slave 430 via infra-red. However such problems appear:

PW + 580 works only in ETTL mode.
580 ETTL +430 ETTL = 1 second delay (only when 580 off camera)
430 SLAVE = sets up to ETTL automatically in SLAVE mode (so no chance to change it to M).

580 M+ 430 ETTL = good sync (however PW doesn't work)
580 M + PW = no flash

Can you advise how to trigger 580 in M with PW (then 430 will work fine as slave) or how else to fix this issue?

Thank you in advance,

Andrew
