G11 with Yongnuo RF-602

Hi all,

I'm new to this forum and signed up to ask this question:

I have a G11, and a Yongnuo YN560 IV flash.  I also have the Yongnuo RF-602 wireless receiver and transmitter.  The receiver and transmitter are working fine, and I can fire the flash by pressing the trigger on the transmitter.  However the camera does not seem to trigger the transmitter.  I know that the camera can see that something is attached to the hotshoe, because the flash menu option get ghosted out when the transmitter is attached.

Has anyone been successful with this combination?

Thanks.

Canon PowerShot G11

Not the same combo but my G9 works with the RF602 and 602 receiver with Canon flash mounted, manual of course.

If the flash is E-TTL and G11 was in Manual mode could be the problem. When in Manual mode there's no E-TTL communication with external hot shoe flash; full manual flash operation.

The post HERE been one of many on this issue.

No, I've been setting both to manual. Actually I've tried a lot of different combinations of modes.
