580 EXILE on my 5 d Mk III

When I use the flash (580 EXILE) on my new 5 d Mk III (it happened also on my 5 d Mk II) mode with the flash and camera set in ETTL, all my photos are at 1/60 and f/4. Am I missing something here? It seems no matter what the lighting is (bright or dim), but the result in the dark is a shot which lit less optimally. For any help or suggestion will be most appreciated.

Thank you both for your responses! I'mgoing to simply sit and play with the camera and Flash until I get what I want. When I was shooting the film for weddings, I've always had the flash at full and set the camera to 1/60 and the f stop anywhere between 5.6 and 11 depending on the situation. I guess I was expecting too much configuration I used... must have gotten lazy in my old age. Once again, thank you gentlemen.

  • 580 EX does not take up with the 5 d Mk III?

    Hello! Newbie and displays the first time. I'm not an experienced user of flash, so didn't know what to expect when you shoot in burst mode, at a party over the weekend. I had the 580 in ETTL and tilted up to bounce off the ceiling. I had the 5 d in normal burst (not high-speed). When shooting, I came across a situation where the flash would work for the first exhibition, but the following shows were dark. Try at home last night, I ran 5 shows burst; the flash fires for the first two, but not the last three. When you set the flash locked horizontally (not to bounce), he worked for all 5 shows. What would cause this behavior? Low battery? The camera can be set to "wait" for the flash?

    Thank you!

    This is quite normal and subject flash has the same problem.

    They recharge up to internal capacitors to the Flash.  It is these capacitors that provide the burst of power to provide the flash.  Once the flash is triggered, the batteries need to replenish the power in the capacitors to be ready for the next flash.  Batteries more (and the freshest and most fully charged the battery) recycles faster in flash.

    But there is more.

    If you're shooting in E - TTL flash gauges what power he needs to deliver adequately to light up the scene.  If you're shooting in manual, you can define the fraction of power that delivers the flash (for example you want a full power flash (1/1) or do you want a fraction (1/32nd ordered?).)  If the flash has to deliver is "full" amount of energy, so it'll take more time to recycle.  If it provides only a fraction of its energy, it will be ready to go INSTANTLY (no delay) as it still has enough power in the capacitors to pull another fractional burst of power.  In fact... When shooting mode "sync high speed", that is precisely how flash works... it flashes VERY quickly, but using only a tiny part of its full potential for each burst.

    If you need "full" power and you need it FAST there is a solution for that too.  You have to cluster flashes to work like a gang.  for example if I have cluster 4 flashes together, then every Flash would be enough to trigger at 1/4 power and yet as a gang they are always provided the light of the ' total '.  This means after 1 burst, each light has still 3/4S of its left power and he could shoot four times in very quick succession.  Only after the 4th flash you have to stop for Flash recycle.  I think you can cluster up to 15 lightning - you should never a lot.

    For your application, make sure that your batteries are fresh.  (Tip: Sanyo Eneloop rechargeables are great in these hot flashes and save you the purchase of single use batteries.)  If it is not fast enough for you even with new batteries, then buy the accessory pack external battery for the 580EX II (which can effectively triple the amount of energy supplied to the light.).

    I found a review for this laptop, so I don't know the specs. The first SATA III support for HP laptops are series Dv6-6000, Sandy Bridge, which is the second generation of Intel processors. It starts with Core iX-2XXX. Means that your laptop is certainly a SATA II one. I got it so I know for sure.

  • Windows 7 Age of Empires II and Age of Empires III doesn't fill the entire screen

    I just finished the installation of Age of Empires II Age of Kings and the Expansion of the Concqerors on my new PC which has Windows 7.  Not only am I have problems of color with Age of Kings II, both games II and III will not fill my 27-inch (1920 x 1080) monitor.  I set the screen resolution and downloaded the latest driver for my GTX 580 of NVIDEA but nothing seems to work.  How can I solve the problems of color with Age of Kings II and how can I solve the problem with the games only using the central part of my monitor and leaving a lot of black space on both sides.  Y at - it a patch from microsoft for these questions?  If this is not the case, there should be.  Help, please.

    This is not a gambling problem. These old games only were not aware that future screen sizes might be greater than 640 x 480, probably 800 x 600 or 1024 x 768 (high end!). So there not in the set of options to set the display in today HD resolution. This adjustment can now be done by the video card driver that must be able "to scale", or you will enjoy with the size of the screen not interpolated, original (on a screen 1920 x 1080, which will only be part of your actual screen). I do not have an NVIDIA card, on my AMD card, 'scaling' option is an Advanced Catalyst Control Center setting, there should be something similar in the controls of your card.

    It is very interesting how Toshiba cares about the problems of their users.

    Hello

    Please don't get me wrong, but you should clarify this with Toshiba directly. Here on this forum, you can hear some useful opinions and comments, but I think you should get info straight from Toshiba directly.

    You can also do is to contact the nearest Toshiba service provider and ask for help. You can visit ASP and demonstrate how it works and I hope that you will get a professional opinion on this problem.

  • Portege Z30T - two monitors external PR III possible?

    All, I have a Z30T in a Port Replicator III, connected to an external display Samsung via Displayport. I noticed that there is an unused DVI port on the back of the duplicator. Does anyone know if it'll work to connect to another port DVI Samsung, to operate two external displays simultaneously?
    Thank you.

    There are two sections of video:
    1 vga / dvi / displayport
    2 hdmi / displayport

    You can connect on each display a section and use them at the same time.
    So if you count the internal display, you can use up to three displays simultaneously.

    * edit *.
    I think that one of the external screens must be connected via displayport if you plan to use two external displays. At least I didn't test, so on article 1 dvi and hdmi on article 2 work at the same time. In your case, this is no problem because you're already using DP for a sceen.

  • Portege Z30-A-12N with Port Replicator Port Hi-Speed USB III problems

    Hi all

    I have a big problem with my new Portege Z30-A-12N and Hi-Speed Port Replicator III.

    I connected the power, DVI, LAN, mouse and keyboard to the Port Replicator.
    Power, DVI and LAN are okay, but none will be found if I connect something to the USB Ports 2.0 or 3.0.
    No mouse, no keyboard, and no USB key.

    When I start my Portege I must enter a password after you press the power button.
    These password, I could enter with the external keyboard, but in windows, no keyboard has been found.

    If I connect the keyboard and mouse to the USB Ports of the Portege instead of Port Replicator, the two has been found.

    I ran Windows 7 Enterprise on the Portege.
    BIOS version is 3.30

    Do you have a solution for me?

    Hello

    The HI-SPEED PORT REPLICATOR III PA5116E-1PRP supports 2 x USB 2.0 and 4 x USB 3.0 ports.
    You n t special need Win 7 drivers in order to be able to use the USB ports or other interfaces such as VGA, DVI, audio, etc.

    Sound problems, make sure that the audio device has been selected in the right panel-> sound-> playback tab

    By the way: Win 7 needs USB driver 3.0 which is preinstalled when the laptop was equipped with USB 3.0 ports. My knowledge if your mobile phone does not support USB 3.0, you will be able to use the port replicator USB 3.0 ports.

    Finally and above all devices must be connected before you start the computer. The decision supported and compatible specifications: Portégé R30 - A, Tecra Z40 - A, Tecra Z50 - A, Portégé Z30-A/Z30t-A, Tecra A50 - has

    Do you use it with the original OS that you got with it?

  • Portege Z30 16 GB with high speed Port Replicator III and two monitors - resolution

    I have a Portege Z30 with 16 GB of Ram, connected to a Toshiba high speed Port Replicator III which is connected to two monitors running in mode extended.

    The monitor attached to the first section of the video is 1920 x 1200 running.
    However the second monitor is only show support for a maximum of 1280 x 1084.

    The monitors are identical, and both are connected by DisplayPort cables.

    I tried to lower the resolution and save the settings on the first monitor to see if it offered options on the second monitor, but the options remained the same.

    At this point, I have narrowed down to 1280 x 1024 so that it conforms to all the monitors but would like to a plus-res solution.

    Does anyone know if there is a fix/work-around for this?
    If this is a hardware limitation, has anyone tried a USB 3 to DisplayPort adapter in a similar configuration?

    Thank you!

    At the same time using two displayports?
    I wonder how it is possible, because of my knowledge it is not possible... as far as I know the Port Replicator III supports two DisplayPorts but you could choose and use one of them...

    In any case, you can use both with a lower resolution, I guess that this problem can be caused due to incompatible display drivers.
    I suggest you to uninstall reinstall or update the display drivers and check if it helps
