t3i canon when set to flash mode manual the flash out put level only goes to 1/4 power or more.

Also, it starts at 1/1 (full power) and goes down to 1/2, then 1/4, then 1/8, etc.   I don't see how you go "past 1/4" to get to 1/2.  You actually go past 1/2 to get to 1/4th.

Also, that is purely a software thing, not mechanical.  I don't think it could be broken, per se. 

Are you SURE that you are hitting SET not just stopping with that line selected and then trying to manipulate the values without hitting SET?  And then using LEFT and RIGHT ARROWS, not the control wheel?  The control wheel does not do anything on this-it is just the set button and the arrows.

Hi Scott Yes i use the left right button to move the little indicator past 1/4 towards 1/128 but when i move it back i cannot get it to go to the 1/2 number, when moving to th e right of 1/4 it just won't go the the 1/2 number. does this make sence to you. 1/8..1/4..1/2 cannot go from 1/4 to 1/2. hope this helps

I'm just wondering if this camera has a problem or not
