YN REMOTE & MIX MODES
The YN-622C can work in either of two modes – Remote or Mix. In Remote mode, the Type A camera’s flash control
menus take priority over most on-flash settings. In Mix mode, the on-flash settings take priority. E-TTL and Manual can be
mixed.
Remote Control Mode
 The camera’s Flash Control menu settings take priority, and enforce settings on Class 1 flashes.
 This is the Factory default mode.
 The last-used setting is remembered during power-down.
 Requires a Type A camera for Manual settings.
 Channel indicator does not stay lit.
Examples:
Camera + 622 + 580EXII (622 in Remote Mode; flash is in Group A enforced).
Two remote 622 + 430EXII.
 Set Remote 622s to Group B. Set menu item Flash Mode to ETTL, with FEC if needed. Set Wireless/Firing Group to
A:B. Set Fire Ratio to 1:3.The camera will call for pre-flash, evaluate power levels required, and produce a normal
exposure from the two Group B flashes, with fill from the on-top flash. FEC and Ratio can be controlled from
camera.
 Set one remote 622 to Group B and the other to Group C. Set Flash Mode to Manual. Set Wireless/Firing Group
to A:B C. Set Group Outputs for A-1/32, B-1/8 and C-1/4. Use B as main, C as background, A as on-camera fill.
Group outputs can be set and adjusted remotely as required.
Mix Control Mode
Creative lighting scenarios can be implemented by switching the 622 system to Mix mode.
 Type A and B cameras may be used.
 All Classes of flash may be used.
 E-TTL / Manual / Multi flash modes may be mixed.
 Flash settings take priority. Settings are made manually on each flash
 To invoke Mix mode, hold down [CH SET] on the transmitter for 3-4 seconds until the channel indicator winks 3
times. It will then stay lit.
 To cancel Mix mode (the channel indicator will be lit), hold down [CH SET] on the transmitter for 3-4 seconds
until the channel indicator winks 3 times it will then be extinguished.
 The Remote/Mix setting is remembered by the individual unit on power-down.
 Do not try to set or un-set Mix mode using the buttons on receivers.
 The Flash mode of the transmitter will be locked in E-TTL mode.
 Set each flash (including an on-top flash) to desired flash modes, E-TTL, Manual or Multi. The settings of the flash
take priority.
 The camera can set only FEC, FEB, Ratio and Shutter sync.
 If the shutter sync is set by the camera menu, the on-flash setting is ignored. A type B camera defaults to hi-
speed sync.
 The camera’s zoom setting is disabled.
 Any flash set to E-TTL will emit a pre flash. If its mode is Manual or Multi, it won't.
