Photographing weddings and bouncing flash off a high, dark ceiling, I frequently get severely underexposed images. I can sometimes make things work by dialing up the compensation on the flash to +3 stops--but it's still a bit underexposed. This happe...
Most flash makers publish the flash durations for the various power levels in the manual, but Canon does not. When photographing very high speed action, such as hummingbird wings, it is important to have the flash durations quite close to avoid ghos...
My 70D doesn't record the off camera flash, a 580II but will work on board. I can't figure the problem.
I have a 580 EX II flash and would not work on the Canon 60D camera, my 60d says "The menu cannot be displayed...Incompatible flash or flash's power is turned off." The flash is on but the camera does not reconise it. It will not fire The 580EX11fla...
Hoping to get some insight on something that is driving me crazy. I'm attempting to troubleshoot an issue I'm having with my three Canon 600 EX-RTs and my Canon ST-E3-RT transmitter. Specifically, I'm trying to figure out what could cause linked flas...
Will my 200E Speedlite work on my Rebel EOS SL1 100D camera and do I have to change any camera settings?
I have two problems with Canon gear that continue to annoy me. Has anyone got a way to solve them. 1. I use the Canon Speedlite 600EX-RT with the ST-E3-RT mounted on my Canon 1DX and now 1DX II cameras a lot. Nearly always using a tripod, I commo...
I have a set of four Canon 600EX-RT Speedlites and four 430EX-RT IIIs. In the hummingbird workshops I teach, I need a way to let other camera systems fire and sync with my Canon Speedlites. To do this, I have had to resort to using a Male to Male P...

I have a Canon 5D mark II and a 100mm Macro IS USM. I use the flash MT-24EX and MR-14EXII. To obtain a correct white balance (using neutral gray card) with the MT-24 flash I have to shoot with 5800K. When I use the MR-14EXII flash, and using the te...

I was shooting an event this weekend when my 580exII when suddenly the head/flashtube "flaired", it looked very bright white and only lasted for a second. The flash worked fine for the remainder of the shoot. Wondering if this a loose flashtube or ...
Hi guys, So i've been testing with the ST-E3-RT remote in combination with the speedlite, and i only seem to be able to get the "REL" option to fire my camera from a distance, when i am putting the ST-E3-RT on my camera and using the speedlite as a r...
Can you use EZ series flashes (430EZ, 540EZ) on newer DSLRs?
My 580 EX II exposes properly when the diffuser is not on the flash. The diffuser is made for this Speedlite and yet when I use it there is a drop in the exposure by about one and a half stops. I have tried the flash with different manual settings ...
