• The Canon 70 d remote flash trigger

  Which Canon speed light will work off camera and be triggered by the functionality of firing the flash in camera remotely?

  The native (built-in) flash trigger IS.  This is an optical trigger and requires line of sight to the off-camera flash.

  The 430EX II can be a 'slave' (flash remotely triggered), but may not be a master.  The 580EX II can be a master or slave.  600EX-RT can also be a master or slave (and can no optical or by radio but radio requires a radio trigger - sells Canon a dedicated radio ST-E3-RT trigger or an another 600EX-RT flash can be used as a master/trigger.)

  The built-in flash uses pulses of light (visible light) to communicate with slaves and relay instructions.  It is not infrared or radio.  But the receiver in the slave flashes is on the lower part of the body (not in the flash head upwards).  The front of the lower part of the body has a tint red Panel that resemlbes what you would see on an infrared remote - leading people to assume that it is IR it isn't visible - IR

  If the remote light does not pull when the flash on the camera goes off then lower unit may not have good lighting of the view.  Keep in mind the 430EX II 580EX II and 600EX-RT that all have a flash head that can tilt AND turn left and right.  This means that you can rotate the lower part of the body of the flash so that it points to your camera, but always turn the head so that it points toward your subject.

• My canon eos 30 d flashes too powerfully and whiteing my photos can someone help

  Hi all

  When I take pictures my eos 30 d is too powerful for automatic photos I take and whiteing on the subject

  I looked in my manual and can't see the answer

  If the device worked properly, then started to overexpose in mode auto, most likely, you have changed some settings...

  Go to the menu, select and use 'all clear camera settings. You can also go into the custom functions menu, select and click 'Reset all custom functions'.

  As a last resort, you could do a "reboot" of the camera. It's a bit like rebooting a computer to clear incorrect instructions that are stuck in the memory.

  To do a reset, first turn off the camera, then remove all of the batteries, including the money bit "battery memory" which is in a drawer inside the main compartment. Turn on the camera and press the shutter button once. It fires without batteries, of course. But this drains any residual power in the circuit.

  Turn the power off, reinstall the batteries and turn it back on. Check the date and time. If you got a restart appropriate, they should be set to zero.

  If you do not have a proper restart, you can use the same procedure, but instead of pressing the shutter button just leave the battery for about an hour. This should allow any residual power to drain it and cause a complete reset, too.

  It can erase some of the settings you have made inadvertently, causing problems. Or it can erase a statement stuck in memory, string just as restarting a computer clears its memory and help it work better. (After all, devices digital photo is essentially the laptops. )

  You might also consider relocation (upgrade, if necessary) the camera firmware. Sometimes, it can be damaged and giving problems. If you go to the website of Canon and research for 30 days, in the software category and downloads you will find the latest version of the software for the camera and instructions on how to install it. Follow the instructions carefully. It is not difficult, but it must be done according to the instructions, or there is a risk of "bricking" of the camera.

  Finally, it could be a bad communication between the camera and lens. Some flashes use data of distance from the lens to help the force of the power of the flash. Remove the lens and clean the contacts. Usually the best way to proceed is to wipe the contacts Golden at the rear of the lens with a clean cloth which is slightly moistened with a few drops of isopropyl alcohol (rubbing cheap alcohol is fine). Just pay attention to leave the lens optics and do not touch the mirror inside the front of the camera or the screen right above the mirror.

  Also, you can check the pins 'spring' corresponding to the contacts on the lens to work correctly. Gently press on each spindle and watch it springs in place. Sometimes, these can be sticky, causing problems of communication between the camera and the lens.

  Factory default of compensation and/or reboot the camera that you will lose a few other settings you did and you will need to go into the menu to manually redo all the parameters you use regularly.

  All these are things you can do yourself and which costs nothing to try. They may or may not help. If so, great. If not, you will need to have a repair technician look at the camera. Either find someone local who can work on it or send it to Service Dept. Canon

• Canon 1000 d external flash

  I have a Canon 1000 d and I want to use my detached external flash of the camera body. How do I do that?

  He gets not any cheaper than the wireless options I mentioned above.  I use Yongnuo RF-602, RF - 622, 560 III and the 560TX and had no problems with either of them.  They are as reliable as my flashes.

• Canon 70 D my internal flash does not fire. It is broken or do I have an error in the settings.

  My Canon 70 D internal flash does not fire. I'm not sure if I made a mistake in my settings.  I usually shoot with a distance of exile 580 flash on the slave. The custom internal flash now or trigger a pre-Flash. So I think that it's broken by need help to rule out any possible error in the settings... Thank you

  All these answers are in the correct sessions. If the "bulb" can break on the flash?

  Yes, certainly.

  High value Multi Shot Noise reduction option ISO NR will also disable flash, however.  To check this option too.

  

  If in doubt, perform a reset to the default values.  Now I'm really out clues .  You will need to send it.

• Unable to trigger the nissin Di622 flash Canon 430ex II

  My gear is Canon T1i camera, flash for Canon 430ex ii, flash Nissin Di622 (1st model) and radio trigger CowboyStudio (I don't remember the model).

  The 430 in ettl mode & on the camera will trigger the camera 622. The pop-up flash will trigger the camera 622. The 430 on camera & manual mode will not trigger the 622 camera and the camera 430 will not trigger the 622 in any mode.

  The radio trigger fires the camera 430. I want to trigger the camera 430 with the radio and have the 430 then trigger the 622. Is there a way to do this?

  I thought that most of the flash units can be triggered by a Flash of light such as the pop up flash. I wouldn't be able to trigger the 430 (in all modes) with the pop-up flash?

  No, some Nikon and other 3rd party flashes can be triggered with a simple flash, but not Canon.   Your 430EX II won't work as a "slave" If you have a 'master' that uses the system of Canon wireless. Slave Flash gun can operate using coded light signals of the "master" flash Cannon

  Some newer Canon cameras have a built-in pop-up flash that can act as a "master" of Canon, but your T1i does not work like that. Canon cameras that will make this are the T3i, T4i, T5i, 7 d, 60 d, or 70 d.

  You can also buy a Canon flash which can be used on your T1i and acts as a "master".  It's the Canon 550EX, 580EX, 580EX II and 600EX-RT. The cheapest Canon ST - E2, which can also act as master but does not have a Flash.

  There are also a few 3rd party flashes as Yongnuo, Nissin and Metz who can also work as 'master' using the gun system.

• Canon Elura 100 (3 Red blinks per second)

  The charge on my Canon Elura 100 indicator flashes red 3 times per second.  I found this device not too long ago and it did not come with anything.  So I had to try to use some adapters I've had, but none of the adapters are 8.4V as the camcorder is supposed to use.  Above 8, 4V and the camcorder turns on and works fine.  Less than 8.4V and the unit will turn on briefly.  However, when the camcorder is plugged and off so the battery is supposed to load, the charge indicator just blinks red 3 times per second.  On a spare battery, I get the same thing, 3 Red blinks per second.  The replacement battery has a small charge left and operates the camcorder with its remaining charge.

  Adapters CA / CC are not complicated, and those I have is probably fine, but my guess is that they must be exactly 8.4V battery when the battery is in the camera.  Since the camcorder works fine on CA adapters / top rated CC then 8.4V, then I think who would be the camcorder has a range of what voltages it will be operated to with a penchant for higher voltages, but needs the battery exactly or very nearly 8.4 v for recharging.

  I could buy a separate battery charger, but I want to see if I can get the battery charge when its in the camcorder.

  Must the power adapter be exactly 8.4V battery when the battery is in the camera?

  I got the 8, 4V - 1.5amp AC adapter today and his charges two batteries. Password 1 blink per second indicator low battery, then 2 flashes per second indicator higher load, then finally a solid red indicating a charge full. Its still in charge the extra battery, but the original battery charged to 100%. Looks like a power adapter rated appropriate was what I needed.  With a such specifc nominal voltage of 8.4V, I suppose it must be exactly as to charge the battery, but I don't know exactly how the amperage must be.  Maybe the battery charged with a 0.5amp adapter, but simply very slow and maybe it would load with a 2amp adapter, but maybe too quickly, it could damage the battery.

• What Flash Speedlite will work with my Canon Rebel EOS T3 1100 D?

  Hi, I'm new to the era of digital and older than 55 years.  My husband bought me a Canon Rebel EOS T3 1100 D in July.   (I fought the "technological" upgrade until my old film camera Canon quit on me).  I took pictures since 1966, so I'm not new to photograph, just for our technological advances.

  I would be very grateful if someone could help me with which Flash Speedlite will work with my Canon Rebel T3 D 1100 camera specific.

  I thank very you much for your time.

  I just got my 430EX II that I bought for use with my Rebel T2i. The main reason I bought the Canon product was... using Canon products, I have never had a failure or a bad experience of 60 years. I use the LL 430EX for a few days and I'm very happy with the results. Much, much better than the built-in flash. It is on sale now with free shipping of Fed X. It is hard to beat.

  Good luck with your new camera.

• Is it possible to use flash video (canon t6i)

  Is it possible to use the built in flash during video capture? If yes than how? (for canon t6i)

• Canon Flash 430EX 11 to go with my Canon EOS camera D 70 with a 18-135mm lens.

  I bought a Canon 430EX 11 Flash to go with my Canon EOS camera D 70 with a 18-135mm lens. Flash displays the icon confirming the auto zoom only intermittent and when it isn't, twist the zoom of the camera does not appear on the screen of the flash.  The batteries are charged and the flash is locked on the camera.

  I'm not entirely sure I understand your question.  The 430EX II has can be put in a mode where it automatically follows the camera zoom (within the limits... 24 mm to 105 mm), but you can ALSO put it in a mode where you manually control the zoom flash.  If it's in the manual control mode, so it won't automatically zoom.

  It is important that the 'broad' Panel not in use (if you go out and go back to the bottom of the Panel then flash will go to wide angle and zoom not EVEN if it was in auto mode.)

  Press the Zoom button, then use the - / + keys to change the zoom.

  When under manual control, there is a black "M" icon that appears the word "Zoom".  If the "M" is not present then it is auto zoom mode.

  Finally... When you change the zoom on the camera lens, generally nothing will happen on the flash UNTIL you wake up the system by doing a half - press the shutter button.    When the camera wakes up to the meter and focus... it is when she allows to set the zoom on the flash head.

• Canon 60 d does not recognize the 430ex II flash. Any suggestions?

  Canon 60 d does not recognize the 430ex II flash. On the menu screen, it says that flash is where not compatible.

  Any suggestions? Books or guides recommended?

  Thank you

  A few...

  I hope that you have verified that the flash lights up completely and you get the red light showing that it is ready to fire.

  On your system menu 60 d, if you find the "Flash control" option, you can ensure that you have not set the external speedlite to 'disable' - although I think in this mode, you wouldn't get the message you describe.  that is, I doubt it's, but you can double check.

  A more common reason for the failure is that the flash of the camera can perfectly communicate with flash.  This is usually due to a bad connection in the 'foot' of the lightning.

  The flash must be in place in the rails of the claw.  Make sure that the lock is released, fully slide the flash into the rails of the hoof, stop.  Engage the locking of the foot, so we got him firmly (it will slide to the right and then click sur-pour-snap (you must press the button to release the locking lever).)  This is not * only * snug foot... He also puts a tiny metal pin locking in a small hole in the claw so that flash can't get out.

  At this point, the "foot" of the flash is actually the "ground" connection and he is in contact with the metal rails of the claw AND the five contacts on the foot must be in contact with the camera.

  This means there is nothing wrong with the flash - and there could be something wrong with her.   So if you are convinced you fully secures the flash, then remove the flash and inspect the "foot" on the flash.

  The metal plate on the bottom of the flash must be strong... If you use your fingers and try to move it (do not use a heavy force... we do not break - just firmly grasp and see if he's going to move at all) it should not move.  If it does not move that this means that the foot is loose and is not attached to the body of the flash (there are four very small screws which hold it firmly, but they are accessible from the inside of the flash.

  Next, inspect the 5 metal pins on the bottom of the flash.  Each of these areas is spring loaded so that they will stand against the 5 points of contact in the camera shoe.  I sometimes saw a performance of something (for example, a bit of sand) getting stuck and 'jam' a PIN so that she she brings more contact with the contact on the hoof.  If you view the foot of the flash of an edge - on view, all the pins it is back to the same height.  If one of them is lower than the rest... indented it is blocked.

  The 430EX II has a solid reputation as a flash work horse.  It tends to be among the most reliable flashing on failures is rare.

  It is also possible that the problem is in the camera.  A simple test of this is to try an another speedlite (if you have one, or if you have a friend who has a).  If it's your speedlite, and it is under warranty, then it is probably a simple remedy of service Canon.

  If the flash is not under warranty and that the problem is with the hot-shoe is is not solid, it is often an easy repair.  If a foot have been irreparably damaged, the entire foot can be replaced (everything is a module) and it is an easy and I think a little low cost repair.

• I just bought a canon 6 d and I can not get my remote EXILE 430 flash. Anyone know why?

  I just bought a canon 6 d and I can not get my remote EXILE 430 flash. Anyone know why? Apparently my camera 'new' picture does not "see" the flash, must now the transmitter? Is there a Flash that work wirelessly with my canon 6 d?

  All remote flashes need a way to communicate with the camera.  They can be wired or wireless.  The wireless system can be optical or radio.

  The key is that there is nothing built in the 6 d to control a flash... If you need something to do this work.

  The 430EX II can be triggered via optical signal as a remote "slave" flash (430EX II cannot function as a mode of 'master' (aka 'Commander').)

  The method of Cannon to control the 430EX II is to use either:

  (a) a "Speedlite ST - E2 transmitter.

  (b) speedlite another able to work in "master" mode (and there's a long list... the 600EX / 600EX-RT, the 580EX II, and curiously the 90EX is actually able to perform a 'master').

  I recommend either the 600EX-RT (which would be the basis for additional units 600EX-RT in the future that would give you radio trigger) or find a 580EX II.  I probably spend on the 90EX and promote a ST - E2 if desired subject is a way to trigger the remote flash and don't actually want a flash.  The 90EX is not very powerful, so it is not particularly suitable as a stand-alone flash, unless you use it simply as a "fill" flash for close subjects.)

  There are also many 3rd party triggers, but the vast majority of them won't let you not use E - TTL (they would be "manual" only) and the units which support E - TTL will be too expensive to buy just a high flash range running as Commander.

• Is there a way to manually activate the built in FLASH on my Canon Rebel T3i?

  Is there a way to manually activate the built in FLASH on my Canon Rebel T3i? I can't find the place to do this.
  Thank you.

  You can also use the "Programming" mode  Program mode allows the camera to choose the initial settings, but unlike the automatic mode where you cannot override the decisions of the exhibition, you CAN override the decisions of the exhibition in programming mode if you wish.

  If you choose the programming mode, press the button to bring up the flash and then don't bother to circumvent the decisions of exposure of the camera then it will work a lot like automatic mode.

• Canon 6 d not focus or flash in ' Live view '.

  My Canon 6 d not focus or flash in ' Live view '.  I have a canon 430ex II and an E - ttl flash with a sync for the function E - ttl cable.  The camera to simulate the action of the shutter, but no picture is taken.  How can I overcome this problem.

  From time to time, after trying to take several pictures, it will begin to work, but usually isn't.

  Hey Shadowcat.

  Thanks for posting.

  It seems that the AF method is set in fast Mode.  When the device is set for Live View shooting, there are different methods of AF that can be set.  In fast Mode, the device uses the AF sensor dedicated to focus when you press the shutter button halfway.

  The image on the LCD is stopped while the camera tries to focus because the shutter closes and the mirror falls on the image sensor.  It may seem as if the camera is taken a picture, but this isn't, it focuses only.  No flash is triggered during this process either.  Continue to hold the shutter halfway button until the focus is reached, how the image will be back on the LCD screen.  Then you can press the shutter button the rest of the way down to take the picture.  The flash fires and the image will be saved.
