Thank you for any help you can offer.
I have Canon 5div with 600ex-rt mounted on the hot shoe.
I want it to fire via IR one (or more) remote flash guns (Bowens 1070/3600 Gemini 250 250R 250C series)
I want to switch off the 600EX-RT flash tube - so it just acts as an IR sender.
The issue is no matter what I do the 600EX-RT fires its tube.
I have looked up / checked the following prior to posting.
Canon warn of fake 600EX-RT heads - from this link info I have a real one, and it was bought from a high street shop.
Info HERE
The Canon manual HERE Section 5 optical transmission pg 75 onward.
From the manual I have the 5div camera in Manual mode, flash mounted on camera, using the "z with arrows button" I select the lightening logo top right of screen , symbols IR mode ON
In 'menu1' on flash I select the head flash to 'off' that state is confirmed on screen and I can toggle on/off and see the 3 lines switch on/off on the display.
That fires a remote bowens flash head(s) fine, But it always fires the 600EX-RT tube as well which I want off.
Am I doing something so obviously wrong I can't see it???
Thank you for any help / suggestions.
PLEASE NOTE: I have other sender kit without flash, remote sync units/cables etc.
I 'MUST' use the IR system as I am checking flash heads, It's only for testing so its not a serious issue but I would like to know how to do this and what I'm doing wrong.
