Issue: Canon #Speedlite EL-5 Not Working with Canon #R8
Hi everyone,
I’m experiencing an issue with my Canon Speedlite EL-5 flash not working with my Canon R8 camera. Every time I attach the flash, I receive an error message saying that the connection is not compatible and to reattach the accessory. However, when I use the same Speedlite EL-5 with a Canon R6 Mark II, it works perfectly and is recognized without any issues.
I’ve already updated both the flash (v. 1.1.0) and the camera (v. 1.3.0) to the latest firmware, but unfortunately, the issue persists. Interestingly, other flashes like the Godox TT685II work fine with the Canon R8, so it doesn’t seem to be a problem with the Multi-Function Shoe itself.
Has anyone encountered this problem before or have any suggestions for resolving it? I’d really appreciate any help!
Thanks in advance!
