EOS Rebel XTi DSLR. Even with nothing else attached... Occasionally use a Bower Auto Focus add-on flash, model SFD35C.

Old 430EX won't sync with 5Diii when used off camera, if shutter speed is over 200.

Continuous light on 600EX-RT?

I would have thought this would be a common question but I can't find it in the manual or the forum: can you set the speedlite to continuous (or bulb) light? So use it as a simple continuous light source. Thanks for letting me know.

HI!I have a Speedlite 420EX bought in 2001, working perfectly until now with an EOS300. Last week I bought a new EOS60D and I would like to know if this camera can work with this old flash. I am concerned about that and need a confirmation that turn ...
