• How connect wireless Speedlite 430EX III - RT for EOS 7 d Mark II using wireless radio signal?

  I just upgraded from a fighter to a 7 d and am sure he has the ability to use wireless for my Speedlite 430ES III - RT radio signal.  Unfortunately, I've exhausted myself trying to get them to connect.  If anyone has had the same issues, or have a solution to my problem or even have a link to a good video for the Speedlite & 7 D, I have?

  I watched a lot of YouTube videos and seem to have all the settings correct-channel, master/slave, A, B, Group C parameters, the unit is set for the wireless.

  Help please and thank you.

  The 7 d II can control only wireless Speedlite 430EX III - RT optically via its pop-up flash but not via radio signal.  So you can either get an another Speedlite 430EX III - RT or a dedicated controller ST - E3, mounted on the hot shoe of the camera.

• 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.

• 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.

• Choose the good speedlite Canon 6 d and Nikon D 80

  Hello world. Please bear with me, I'm new on this.

  I went nuts online reading on choosing THE right speedlite for my camera (s). And I'm more confued as never before to ask if your advice.

  I have the following bodies:

  Canon 6 d (currently with 24-70 MM lens, you are looking to invest in a zoom super large and super telephoto in the future)

  Nikon D 80 (18-135 mm and 50 mm lens block)

  Using flash for me: I want to use it as a master, claw mounted, is thus also distance away if necessary. You want to use to fill, studio, night photography work.

  My maximum work is with the 6 d. I use the Nikon D 80 but often. Finally, I would like to make the wisest choice, as my budget is between $ 200 and $500.

  (1) I'm caught between the purchase of a Canon speedlite dedicated and buy a flash which is used on the two bodies and my wider lenses.

  (2) I read that the most powerful currently available for Canon speedlite is the 600 EX - RT his broader coverage corresponds to the focal length of 28 mm and upwards.

  Are there any other generic speedlites that don't cost the Earth and have a broader coverage with the same force as the 600 EX - RT?

  (3) OR foregoing, moreover, are a generic model that will as well on the nikon and canon?

  Appreciate your time and advice,

  Samy

  Of course, only you can balance your desires/needs against your budget, but it seems that you intend to take the 6 D your battle horse and expect professional results with it, this is where to put your money.  Generic and unique for all made compromises now will be usually exact a price in the form of frustration and disappointment still on the line.  For your intended use and expected results, I would recommend biting teeth and go with the RT 600EX for the 6 d and a low price Nikon (recommended) or generic flash for the D80.  I would advise looking at material of opportunity to save money, but some years ago, I did it with a couple of flashes Nikon SB-26, from two different suppliers, only to discover that the reason why they were on the market was because motorized zoom mechanisms were worn.  At the moment where I've had have been renovated, I was in a bit of money to have bought new.  Since then, I was simply not a fan of the gear used.

  Good luck!

  Kind regards

• With the help of my Speedlite

  Hello

  I have just bought a flash speedlite Neewer TT560 and use it with my canon 6 d. I can't t to work and feel I'm missing something very basic to connect the camera to the external flash protection. The speedlite itself works as he has a test function.

  I mount the speedlite on my canon shoe according to the instructions. What to do next? Do I need another cable so that pressing it down the shutter, the flash works?

  In the camera, go to the control menu - externa protection flash setting flash comes up with the message "incompatible flash or the flash output is off. I also have a Yongnuo speedlite and the same thing happens.

  Well Yes, the Yongnuo RF-602 (a $20 set) or the RF603 II ($30 a set).  Highly recommended.

  I use the 602 for years and I think it's a great relaxation.  I own a set of triggers Yongnuo RF-622 that are compatible eTTL, but I use mostly my 602 s because I'm really not using eTTL and I love how small and compact are the 602 s.

  I can't speak to the 603 II by personal experience, but it looks like they have made some nice changes.  Just make sure that if you get the 603 that you do not get the first former version. If I bought today I'm not sure that I'd get - 602 s have a 1/4 "threads on the bottom which allows them to screw directly into my tripods.  This is a fantastic feature, I have no idea why they don't for the 603 s. This unique feature is probably more for me than anything I've mentioned below.  Without this thread, you must use a claw, which is not nearly as robust as the thread.

  In addition, the 602 transmitter is tiny, I like, but it has a couple of down sides:

  • It uses a special battery (CR2), which are expensive, hard to find, and I do not have a loader for.  They last forever (well over a year of frequent use), but still, it is good that the 603 II uses all of the AAA batteries.
  • There is no mechanism of locking on the feet.  It is not a problem on the receivers, since I use the thread 1/4 ".  But the small tiny transmitter slipped out on occasion.  LLA 603 II added a lock on the foot so it doesn't slip off.
  • There is no power switch on the transmitter.  If you take just the transmitter in your bag and something presses against it, it will wear out the battery.  I built a little case for it for storage.

  And one more for 603 II.  Switch on the receiver 602 and the 603 s original, was poorly placed on top, so you couldn't get there when a flash is mounted.  They finally have it moved to the side of the 603 II.  It's actually a nice update that I wish I had.  Other differences above don't bother me much.  However, if I were buying today, I'm not sure I'd get.

  Edit: one more thing I forgot.  The 603 II has a degree of transmission.  If you can ride a Transceiver on your camera to send a message and you can always put a flash (or even another trigger) above it.  It is not something I do regularly, but I needed this function and has been unable to do with my 602 s.

• Fixing flash Speedlite 430EX II

  Hi guys,.

  Are there professionals here who know if linking the 430EX II when she and the camera (T5i) are both ON the damage anything? I know that the user manual says that the Speedlite should be OFF before attaching it to the claw. I don't have to follow this direction several times until I read the manual... I just want to know that.

  Thank you.

  It's probably a good precaution, but I doubt that you will cause damage if you leave the power on.

  I used the flashes and Canon cameras for more than 30 years.  I never turn off the camera or flash when I tie them up or take them off and no problems of any kind.

  I just went through some of my older books and discovered that, while new units like the 600EX, 430EX II flash. 270EX, 270EX II, 320EX and 90EX all say to turn off the power when you set the flash, the elderly like the 580EX II units, 430EX, 420EX, etc., do not have this warning.

• Speedlite 580EX II E - TTL mode problem

  Hello

  My speedlite has recently started to produce photos that are underexposed in E - TTL mode. Compared to the previous pictures, the difference is of about 2/3 - 1 full stop.

  I have done a number of tests using my EOS 40 d and an EF 24-105 f4/L IS USM lens.

  I used the fully charged batteries in the camera and speedlite (two alkaline batteries or NiMH in flash). I checked the exposure compensation and flash exposure compensation settings as well as all other parameters of the menu camera and custom in the speedlite and camera functions. Everything is in order and there is no conflict between the camera and the speedlite.

  I shoot in RAW and as a test, I took a number of pictures in the manual, Tv and Av modes, both without flash and using the flash on the camera. All were well exposed (with no exposure or flash exposure compensation).

  I tried recycling the speedlite to full power several times - time 5 seconds. Thus, it seems that the batteries were working well.

  I then carried out a number of tests in the manual, Av and Tv modes at various shutter opening and ISO settings to compare flash shipped with the speedlite E - TTL mode performance. Each of the photos taken with the built-in flash has been well exposed with a good histogram. Each comparison with the speedlite photo is underexposed, with a bad histogram and reduced file size. With some tests, it was necessary to set the exposure compensation to + 2/3 to + 1 stop flash to achieve results globally comparable to the onboard flash.

  However, this workaround solution produce satisfactory results for the subject distances over 20 feet, even at high ISO and long shutter speeds. The output of the speeedlite was much too low. These tests were done inside.

  Then, I made tests with the speedlite in manual mode with all of the production in full. A range of shutter speeds, apertures and ISO settings photos were completely blown out. The same result was obtained with the speedlite in sync and manual high speed selected if the shutter speed is equal to or less than 1/250 second (max height available for the on-board flash shutter speed).

  As a solution, I put the manual speedlite with sync high speed and set faster than 1/250 second shutter speeds and

  tried the exhibitions at different distances from the object. In General, the sync high-speed kicks. I have not yet checked performance to subject more than 30 feet, but a comprehensive exhibition was obtained in all tests to date, (mostly better with flash exposure compensation of-1/3). However, according to the ambient light auto focus was sometimes impossible.

  These tests, it seems that the device works well, the speedlite is capable of generating a full release and in manual/high-sync mode, it will produce a correct exposure with high shutter settings.

  While the two workaround solutions - E - TTL mode with timing of compensation and flash exposure manual/high speed - work, some experiments are required and both have their drawbacks. There are moments where I would like to make with the speedlite in manual, but for the most part, I was pleased with the results in E - TTL mode and I want to be able to restore my speedlite complete state.

  I wonder if anyone can shed light on fault (sensor/transistor?) and repair.

  I'm sorry to have provided a lot of details, but I wanted to avoid unnecessary questions or solutions that I've tried. Any assistance from members who are aware of this problem would be greatly appreciated.

  It is not a fault. It seems that if the flash does not work correctly.

  You realize, not you, the ETTL flash works differently in mode to manual exposure, it does in the automatic exposure modes?

  When you have the ETTL flash game and the camera to Tv or Av or P, the camera will expose by ambient light as if the flash is not there, and the flash is treated as a FILL light. The flash output is reduced by something like 1.5 or 1.7 stops full power, unless you overrided with + or - Flash Exposure Compensation.

  When you have the flash in ETTL and Manual, the flash is FULL and processed by the camera, as if it were the only light source. The ambient light is ignored (but according to the selected parameters can still be a factor in your images). Once more, you can substitute with FEC, if you wish.

  If I read your description, you see the difference between manual/FULL flash and AE/TTL. As long as you keep in mind these, you can configure the camera and flash in ETTL mode easily to many different situations.

  You will notice that the flash often recycle much faster when it acts as a FILLER, because it is drawn to the decline in production. I often use the fill outdoors during the day and can get two or three 'pop' quick lightning before it slows down for recycling.

  If you want the 580EX II to recycle faster, use of quality instead of alkaline batteries rechargeable batteries. For faster recycling, a CP - E4 battery pack is a nice addition. He added 8 AA plus size batteries that flash can appeal.

  I never use the built-in flashes, so I don't really know how they compare.

• How to set the coverage area of flash on automode for speedlite 600EX-RT

  
  

  Flash head points straight ahead? On my flash with 0 ° tilt head, he's going to 'A' when I turn the dial to the left.

  Hi jmaniscalco!

  Welcome to the Canon Forum.

  When the LCD screen just flashes, the wide Panel has been removed.  Please make sure that you pull out completely, then it retract completely into the flash head.  The LCD display should stop flashing and your questions about unusual exposures must stop.

• Speedlite 430EX

  Hi all

  This is my first post here...

  I tried to find a manual online usage, or (preferably) a quick reference guide. All those that you present to a Google search are for the newer models that have the features and settings not found on my flash.

  If anyone has any information on where I can find this would be appreciated

  Thank you

• Speedlite 600 ex - rt will work out 5 d Mark 111 without transmitter

  Receipt of conflicting information.  can I buy a flash 600ex-rt and operate (flash) with it is not not in the shoe of my 5 d MIII and without radio transmitter?  example would be a person holding away from camera to fill flash or to produce light from a different angle.

  Yes it can. It is basically the same as any pre 600 flash. No one knows when comes out the YN 600. I have the 600 and the STE3 and am very satisfied with the implementation.

  This could help.

• Canon T1i and Speedlite 580EX off camera use for

  I have a T1i and 580EX (not 580EX II) flash. I would like to use the flash on the camera. Would need other devices (trigger, transmitter)? If not, then could you give me the guide the way in which it is defined. Thanks in advance.

  The 580EX can works as a Canon E - TTL wireless (optical line-of-sight) master or slave flash.  You can use a commander of on-camera flash or get another able to work as a master or slave flash.  A few hot flashes like the 430EX II cannot function as a 'slave' (non-master).  The 580's can be.

  The bult - in flash on a T1i will not trigger a slave Canon E - TTL remote.  I think the T3i was the first of the rebel line to achieve this functionality.

  You can use triggers to 3rd party... optical or radio.  Some of them are extremely cheap, but do not have E - TTL.  The end part 3 higher units that manage the E - TTL are quite expensive (Skirball mentioned the brand of POCKETWIZARD (English) which has a very good reputation... but is not cheap.  )

  POCKETWIZARD (English) has a problem of reliability with Canon 580EX II units (do not know if it would have the same problem with a 580EX II).  The real problem is that when you do E - TTL, there's a pre-Flash and certain communications made before the actual shooting takes place (it's very fast-), but when the preflash fires, the 580EX II was generating enough RF interference that the PocketWizards could not communicate reliably and the flash would not be triggered as expected.  There were a few attempts to create RFI shielding and I even heard of services that change the guts of the flash to reduce the interference (which would, of course, canceled warranty.)
