EOS R100 settings for external PHOTOOLEX LCD flash

[shopstefanov89]

Hi,
I need a help about my canon R100 and Speedlite Flash settings.
I bought PHOTOOLEX LCD



When I use manual settings on the camera and turn flash on the external flash is working but the camera is not in "external flash mode"
When I go to
flash control -> external flash func. setting
it shows :
" This menu cannot be displayed. Incompatible flash or flash's power is turned off"
When I try it with my neewer strobe it shows the same.
I am a new and need a help with it please.

Thanks again for the comprehensive answer. 🙂
I am looking to buy 430EX II from ebay and will text when I got something and test it.

Hi,
I just got canon speedlite 430ex ii and it's absolutely amazing !
I use it with ETTL mode and there is no any issues with AF Assist Beam.
That "Flash Exposure Compensation (FEC)" deffenetly works great.
Thank you so much for your help! 🙂

Everything will work just fine as Canon intended it to. The 430EX series speedlites fills most of not all the needs of most people.

For portrait photography is great as I couldn't sync neewer flash strobe. That speedlight does the job just brilliant. I will leave the theme open if more questions pops out during the photoshoots.
That you again.
