Rebel T3i Flash problem?

Hi all

I was recently given a T3i as a birthday gift.  I've been playing with the camera and have noticed a weird problem with the built-in flash.  She fires as expected when you use the viewfinder, but when using the screen live LCD or quick modes, popping up from flash flashes a busy screen, and try to take a picture will result in flash not firing and the camera all becomes unresponsive.  It will not respond to any key, except the menu and playback buttons, and it does not appear to turn on and off by switching the power switch.  These symptoms persist until I have remove and replace the battery.  Is - it so the camera is supposed to work?  I have read that you cannot use live modes with an external flash, but it also includes the bulit in one?

Check the website to see if you have the latest firmware for the Canon camera.  He shouldn't be locked up in the way you described.

I never used the fast mode on my T5.  And, I rarely use flash, simply because it is not very good beyond a distance of 5 to 10 feet and more than the typical kit lens, 18-55 mm, lenses tend to cast a shadow on the image.

  • Problem with flash Speedlite 320EX and EOS Rebel T3i (EOS600D)

    Hi, for about 18 months, I've used this combination without a single glitch or problem. I bought the Speedlite old second hand, and all died on me in Nov. The guy I bought said it was about 3-4 years wneh I t so I thought that I just replace the same model, but buy a new one this time.

    Since it seems however not the flash unit at full power at times and at others seems not synchronized with the shutter. Sometimes it works fine, but then doesn't flash at all or has a problem that I describe above. I have returrned the flash at the company and they said their technician checked and it works fine.

    Anyone else have these problems or indeed solved these problems? Any suggestions would be very welcome.

    Thank you in advance.

    PS. edited title because I just discovered the EOS600D called the EOS Rebel T3i in the USA. I'm from Scotland.

    Thanks, yes I tried to situate the flash every time, as well as all the parameters of compensation. What seems to work he left for 10 minutes, this iften solves the problem, and I can carry on shooting images for another period. So confusing and frankly boring.

    Bravo for the answer.

    Ten minutes for each flash? In theory there could be something wrong with the condenser and the unit needs service.

    Ten minutes, then you can fire flashes several before he had to rest again? Most likely, the batteries are weak or inappropriate to the task. Make sure you use Eneloop pros. Most serious photographers think that there is nothing better.

  • EOS Rebel T3i: forced flash?

    I am strongly considering purchasing an EOS Rebel T3i, which will be my first DSLR. She has the ability to flashover, no matter that the lighting conditions? I can see using this fill flash when a subject is backlit and the opening is small.

    Yes, the T3i has a dedicated flash button. When you press the organic pollutants persistent top built-in flash and flash will fire.

  • 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.

  • Would you recommend to a 400mm lens of good quality for my EOS Rebel T3i

    I want to upgrade a 250mm lens to a goal of 300 or 400 mm for my EOS Rebel T3i.  I know that some of the canon lenses are incompatible but my technical skills are lacking so I don't know the best lenses for my camera.  Suggestions?

    All Canon lenses currently in production (except the "M" series, which is for the range of mirrorless cameras) are compatible with your T3i. The inconsistency is in the other direction: objective EF - S, which are designed exclusively for the 'culture-frame' like yours, cameras cannot be used on cameras with full frame, like the 1DX, the 6 d and 5 d series.

  • Compatibility with the EOS rebel T3i

    I have an EOS Rebel T3i.  Is this compatible with an EF 70-200mm F/2.8 L IS USM he's lens?

    I was shooting with a T3i when I bought my 70-200 mm f/2.8 mkII IS a few years back. Yes, it worked great! I love the lens. It is not only my sharpest lens, it is also my fastest focusing lens and more importantly, it gives rich and profound colors impressive contrast and beautiful background blur/bokeh.

    Good luck and enjoy!

  • Should I spend an EFS 18-55mm on a Canon EF 17-40mm f / 4L USM for landscapes? With the help of a Rebel T3i

    Only done photography for about a year. Wife bought me a Rebel T3i Kit with two Lenes. I'm really into photography outdoor. I installed myEFS 55-250 in a series of 100-400mm L I was going to buy a better lens for landscape and try to keep less than $1000. I think EF 17-40mm f / 4L USM. Better landscapes or is there a better choce range of price thanks

    I would not recommend the EF 17-40mm for your T3i. The EF 17-40mm is really designed to be used as a goal of the ultra wide angle on Full Frame cameras. One of the major is the lack of IS. (Image stabilization)

    For a camera of culture as the T3i, I recommend:

    Lens EF - S 18-55mm IS STM (very good upgrade to the 18-55 kit lens)

    Lens EF - S 18-135mm IS STM

    EF-S 15-85mm IS lens

    EF-S 17-55mm 2.8 IS lens

    EF-S 10-22mm (without IS, but Ultra-Wide) lens

  • My LCD and viewfinder keep turn off when I turn my Rebel T3i, vertically. Why?

    My LCD and viewfinder turn off / go black (camera stays of less) when I turn my Rebel T3i, vertically. Why?

    You're wearing Polarized Sunglasses.  Remove them.

    Edit: Or not.  I just noticed you mentioned the viewfinder too?  That makes no sense.  It goes completely black?

  • Photo editing for Rebel T3i program

    I have a Rebel T3i and am looking for a software edit my photos with.  I've heard of some highly recommended ones but my funds are short at the moment.  I want to ask if 'GIMP 2', a free and open source program... is going to just work, image editing, and recommend it to everyone?  Wil, it make a decent work by comparing it to Adobe Elements and other editing software popular very much use here?

    Depending on the type of installation you want to Picasa is very handy (and free) but if you RAW I recommend using one of the Adobe products including Camera Raw.

  • Focus problems with Rebel T3i. It will not be in manual or auto focus point. It's not about camera lens

    My camera will not focus. Not only the autofocus. I can't he focus even if I put manual focus.

    The image is still blurry.

    First I thought it was the lens I had but I tried with several, and the problem is the same.

    Any ideas what could be the problem?

    Thank you

    Have you checked the viewfinder diopter?  , It will be not clear even on the manual focus, and it happens with all your lenses makes me think that it is possible that the dial tiny bit right there on the eyepiece was implemented accidental market. The dial control what you see in the viewfinder, not something to do with the focus lens. The diopter is adjustable so that those who need glasses can see things through the viewfinder.  If everything still seems blurry even when the camera thinks he's focused it is generally just that little diopter got hit accidentally.

    IFIT is not this, then perhaps your screen focus got shifted.

  • Taking wide angle, inside still shot s for rental properties with my Rebel T3i

    I am the owner of the apartments and really struggled to get good shots of small rooms. My Rebel EOS T3i came with the EFS 18-55mm and 55-250 mm lens kit. I took a few photos wide-angle still rooms with lens 18-55 mm EFS, but my apartment rooms are usually quite small (think of the living rooms of 12 x 12 and small bath, etc.).  I just want to be able to adapt a bit more in the picture I'm getting right now, and I just can't back up far enough in the room. A slight distortion is OK. I saw some pictures of the great Hall with an adjustible 10-22mm, but I don't know if I need an adjustable lens, and it seems that they cost much more. Someone recommended using a fixed lens. Any ideas on a good objective fixed size (if all goes well at a reasonable price) which should work well with my camera to this effect.  I am a newbie so sorry if I did not give sufficient details. Ideas that you can give me would be great.

    EF-S 10-22mm lens lens is probably just what the doctor ordered.  If you wish, rent a copy (many places rent them... LensRentals, BorrowLenses, B & H Photo, etc.) and try before you buy - but I suspect it's the goal you want.  There is competition a few lenses with similar focal length ranges... the Canon tends to get the best reviews.

    It is a lens wide angle 'straight'--which means that all the "straight" will actually continue as 'straight' in your photos. In a "Fish-eye" lens straight lines (aka "curvilinear") are not preserved and will appear rounded (unless the line gets to pass through the center of the image).

    But there is a problem... If you're not careful, these objectives very wide angle will change things that * should * appear as rectangles (windows, doors, etc.) will turn into trapezoids (keystone forms) - and in architecture, it may look unpleasant.

    To avoid this, the camera must be 'level '.  Make sure that the lens is not slanted downwards or upwards - leave the level.  As long as the appliance is level, the lines on the sides of your doors and windows will be standing and not lean - creating wonky shapes.

    Good luck!

  • iMac 4 k (end of 2015) photoshop screen flashing problem/bug

    Hello

    I'm a Retoucher, so I use Adobe Photoshop to do my job.

    Recently, I bought a new iMac 21.5 (end of 2015) with the cool Retina display 4 k.

    Configuration:

    OS X El Capitan

    Version: 10.11.3 (15 d 21)

    Memory: 8 GB 1867 MHz DDR3

    Graphics card: Intel Pro Iris Graphics 6200 1536 MB

    But the happiness was gone soon after the installation of Adobe Photoshop and trying to do my job. The fact is that I found a disgusting bug. My screen goes black / begins to blink/flicker (the video is here - https://youtu.be/D-5dF3dvYmM).

    First my thought was - maybe it's a problem with the combinations of keys or graphics tablet. Then I turned off the Tablet and checked the shortcut key settings and tried once more - the problem has not disappeared.

    Then I tried to repeat the bug. I realized that there are not any sequence of actions. Screen flickers randomly. But I noticed - fact screen to browse more often (when you use the tools brush or pad), pressing CMD, SPACE, the [] keys.

    The next step was Google. I found a lot of these questions:

    There is ONLY a SINGLE REALLY WORKING solution - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8aGJBafQWTg

    + Chris Hong Here is a very ugly solution - I realized that this issue only happens when my cursor for eraser size is too large. I just went into preferences > slider and make the precise cursor. He stopped the issue of flashing. Although it makes the little hard work on photoshop.


    It's really worked, but done PS is usless to me (and as I understood it too for many users of the new iMac 4K).

    I tried to make a comeback to the iMac, but my dealer Apple told me that it is software problem, so that they can't return to my iMac and get a refund.

    Dear Apple or Adobe,

    Please solve this terrible problem.

    I look forward to your response and resolution of my problem.

    Thank you.

    Yours faithfully,

    Alyona

    PS Sorry for my English.

    Hello

    I have the same problem with my iMac nine 4K, the latest version of the operating system and Photoshop was last updated.

    I've contacted Apple and Adobe, but Adobe has no answer for us, and Apple says it's a software problem, Adobe has to solve.

    The really unique solution for not having the flashing black screen is the one you posted, made a comment on a Youtube video: set the cursor as "accurate".

    I agree with your prayer: Please Adobe and Apple fix this bug!
