Canon Speedlight Issue
Andrew Knapik, Photographer, Assistant

->> Funny thing happened when shooting a wedding last night, need someone to explain what is going on.

Primary shooter - 30D, 550EX master on camera, and another 550EX slave on lightstand, shooting channel 1.

Secondary shooter - 5DmkII with 580EXII master on camera, and a 550EX slave on lightstand shooting channel 2.

- both shooters are using ETTL.

Here is the problem - secondary shooter fires, and his slave does not go off, but rather it fires the primary shooters slave. Primary shooter cannot get slave to react to his camera.

When changed the secondary shooters speelights to channel 4, problem was resolved.

Question is, why did this happen?
