In contrast to the bigger 560, there’s also no problem with blocking the On/Off switch of the trigger (works OK with both RF-602 and RF-603 systems). With its low trigger voltage of 3.26 V it works just fine with radio systems like the RF-602 (also from Yongnuo). So better always use the YN460-II with radio triggers. Only the YN-560 has an improved slave sensor, which I was able to use up to EV14 (a sunny day in the Bay Area). The 2 optical slave modes are usable indoors but go blind with bright ambient light – this is the same problem with all speedlites in the 46x-series from Yongnuo. Not supported are: film-based TTL, digital D-TTL or i-TTL for Nikon, digital E-TTL or E-TTL II for Canon, stroboscopic mode = multi flash mode, “auto” mode. Triggering via light sensor on front side of the unit with the first light signal detected, 1/1 to 1/64 can be pre-selectedĪlso triggered via light sensor, also 1/1 down to 1/64 but in this mode, the 460-II ignores the first light signal – which is the small pre-flash in digital camera TTL operation – and only triggers with the main flash With the mode button you can switch between the 3 available modes, each indicated with a corresponding orange LED:įlash triggers through the flash foot, 1/1 to 1/64 power available

2 other flash (sub-)modes called “S1″ and “S2″ are also manual flash, but triggered through a built-in slave sensor instead of the flash foot.

There is only one single flash mode available: the full manual mode “M” where you set the flash output by hand, and for every photo you take. In full manual mode it can be used with any camera that has the standard ISO accessory show but this flash wants to be off the leash in be used in wireless mode with radio triggers – that’s what it has become famous for.įlash Sync Modes and Other Hot Shoe Features Only really usable in manual camera mode “M” or “S” (all Nikon camera bodies) no digital TTL support Only really usable in manual camera mode “M” or “Tv” (all Canon camera bodies) no digital TTL support There’s no automatic exposure control with DSLR’s such as the Rebel T3i, or the Nikon D7000. This is a manual-mode-only flash, and not intended to be used in the camera hot-shoe. YN-460 Mark II Canon / Nikon Compatibility Manual mode with 1/64 min, 2 optical slave modesĬompatible with radio triggers, e.g. Swivel and tilt flash head, built-in wide panel Powerful with fast recycle times (when using NiMH batteries) Very low-cost “strobist” flash for manual-mode shooting

It has the same basic (real world) guide number of 34 but adds a zoom reflector, PC sync port, a new and bigger casing (modeled after the 580EX series from Canon) with improved battery handling and a PC socket, but it comes also with a somewhat bigger price tag. The third fully manual flash from Yongnuo is the YN-560. Other improvements include shorter recycle time, optional partial output levels, a more silent operation, and a better location for the optical slave sensor. Luckily, the price has only been moderately increased, making this a very attractive offer for off-camera flash to use with radio triggers. The big difference is an increased guide number which reaches now 38 in the specs (and 34 in reality as you’ll see further below), compared to GN 33 (official) /28 (real) for the 460 “mark 1″ flash. The YN 460 Mark II, the second flash from the Chinese Yongnuo brand, is an upgraded version of the original YN460.
