Resolved! 580exII on a 5DSR

I used to use my 580exII on my 5DmkII for events and the flash would send out a red focus assist beam. It helped immensely when working events at night. It doesn't seem to do that when I use it on my 5DSR and I just can't seem to get good focus in lo...

TTL Underexposure (600EX) when shooting directly into another strobe
