? re Hassie and P21

Dave A
I usually shoot table top with a Canon 1D Mk2 S. The other day I had to use a Hassie 553 ELX with a P21. The only way I could get it to capture was to fire it twice. Any idea what I was doing wrong?

    A image back like the P21 needs a signal from the body/shutter that a image is going to be made (wake-up). Have you attached the sync cable for that?

    Please reference the P+ manual.

    Specifically page 64;

    I have. Also, I am unable to fire the camera from the keyboard. Thanks.

    Maybe you would like to provide specifics about your setup, like the cables attached for syncing, flash and tethering.

    The pc cord from the power pack is connected to the P21 back. The 8 pin below that is connected to the 5 pin port on the motor drive. There is a pc to mini between the lens and the mini port on the camera left side. Thanks.

    This is Dave A posting from work. Evidently I'm registered twice. Sorry.

    This is Dave A the original poster. I've reviewed the ref. manual. I have the latency set to short and I've tested the cables and they're good. They are connected correctly. One further bit of information. When I try to shoot from the camera I get this message: Synchro error check cable. When I try to shoot from the computer I get this message: Shutter synchro error: check cable. Again I can capture an image by pressing the shutter release twice. Also, I can hit Apple K and then hit the shutter release on the camera. Any ideas?

    Have you tried different Lenses as the sync signal from the lens is a dependency of the capture process.
    Also, I'd suggest you create a support case and/or get in touch with your local dealer for some more direct assistance.

    I just did and nothing changed. I'll set up a support case. Thanks for your help.

    UPDATE -- A recent upgrade to 10.6.8 solved the problem.
