Hi! I have just bought a 580EX II and your series of videos has been a brilliantly straightforward introduction. It would have taken me a lot of time to figure out otherwise. Everything about your videos feels right. Thank you.
As a newbie on issue that I had with the the diffuser dropped down it caused the display screen on the flash to keep blinking. Apparently the flash knows when this the diffuser was dropped down and was warning me that for the given settings on the flash/camera, the flash output would impact the picture with a lower than expected setting (because the diffuser was reducing the lumen output). I could not figure this out until I got a clue from another website and confirmed it with manual.
@grumpyjr30 Any flash can over heat and burn out if you fire it too fast at too high of a power. I have never had an issue with my 580EX II but that doesn't mean it can't happen. I would say there is no truth to the rumour. People tend to post bad news much more frequently than they post good news about products. Best of luck.
Hey thanks for this video. I'm a Nikon user but a client wanted to know how to use multiple 580 EX but it's been a while since I used one & I needed a refresher. This video series was perfect. Cheers. Glen at DigitalPhotographyCourses.co.uk
That's it??? That is all the time that ETTL gets? On the second video, he jumps into other functions. What about the one thing you'll be using more often then everything else combined? ETTL! How do you adjust exposure? How do you achieve exposure compensation? I just used one of these on a 7D, and the goddamned thing was blowing out highlights. Unlike the SB800, this is not very intuitive. How the FRAKK do you adjust flash exposure when it's over/under exposing???

Thanks for your help. Just bought a used 580, up from the 430, and the owner did not have the manual. You just taught me how to use it. Thanks again.
Thank you for making the videos. Its a great intro to the Canon 580exii.
doing a good job & like this
In ETTL you dial down the flash exposure on the camera. Its different than exposure compensation, so don't confuse the two.

if you've changed some custom settings and forgot which ones, is there a master reset back to factory settings? thanx
