Hi
I am new to this forum; after looking at a number of threads and, having posted a comment on Speedlites, I have been impressed by the many helpful responses.
However, after some further research I came across a number of tutorials produced by Canon Europe on a range of subjects. Although, perhaps, aimed at professionals (the quality of the production and content is certainly professional) they are readily understood by amateurs (even inexperienced photographers like me). Within them, I have found answers to many of the issues raised on this forum.
For those who have not come across these tutorials I am including links to some of the ones I found very informative (I am working my way through more of them). There are links on each of these to many more tutorials.
All I can say is FULL MARKS TO CANON and I highly recommend the tutorials to everyone, amateur and professional alike. My only caveat is that I hope that American Canon-owners won't mind the British accents (I am British) nor the correct use of English grammar, for example, the avoidance of split infinitives and the appropriate use of adverbs rather
than adjectives. (Oops, maybe I shouldn't have added that bit.)
The real point is - Please do visit these tutorials, you will find many gems.

Here are the links. As the forum has not allowed me to add the links as HTML I have done so in plain text. You will need to copy and paste each one into your browser, immediately preceded by
