|| SportsShooter.com: Member Message Board Pocketwizard/Remote trouble Darrin Spencer, Photographer Corbin | Ky | USA | Posted: 3:31 PM on 04.03.09 ->> Okay here is my problem. I am sure I am doing something wrong but I can't figure out what. I have my Canon 20D set up as a remote. My other camera is a Mark IIN and I am using that one for my main. But when I fire the Mark IIN, the 20D is going off also (like it is supposed to), but on my 20D I can't see a picture on the LCD. But if I disconnect the pre-trigger from the PW I can go back and see the picture. I need some help.  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?

On my Nikon remote if I have the cable set to keep the camera awake and focusing all of the other functions won't work unless I flip the pre to off. Just as if I were letting go of the shutter button.  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?

Some cords - the cheap ones - may not have a switch to turn off. The user may have to remove the cord to regain funtionality.  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?

You will have to removet eh pre-release cable from the camera before you can look at anything you have shot. IF you have the toggle..you switch it to the "normal" setting and you can review your photos in the regular way. Your camera is working properly.  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?
