Great quick and to the point tutorial. Thanks for the info!

[@SuperExadidas]

Thank you for this simple and great advice.

[@pyroBlastM]

Which setting do you use in your camera when shooting with a flash?

[@unityxg]

Do you prefer the 24-105 or the 24-70 more? I know this has been 5 years and understand things may have changed.

[@TopshelfJunior]

Super helpful, thx ! Question for you tho.. Which shooting/camera mode do you usually operate the camera under, when the flash w/ ETTL mode is on ? Manual ? Aperture Priority ? Auto ?

[@waasnoode986]

[@rhyswilliams695]

Thanks Terrance. Very helpful

Hi Rhys I’m glad the video helped you. Terrance

The white cup is for covering wide angles with light, not for diffusing the light in normal distance. I think you confuse the ttl communication that way.

[@fatonafikayo9173]

Does it work with canon 250d

[@Apollos2023]

Yes it does.

[@ninjakirbys]

So i already have this speedlite, and I plan on upgrading my camera body. Will my speedlite still be usable with an 80D?

Hi Terrance tks for the info. I'm also looking for info on how to turn off any group of flash via 5D mk2 in camera menu. Also which group the flash that sits on the hot shoe belongs to Thank you

[@PhotographyIn123]

Hi there. I'm not a guru with the flash menu, but let me give my quick assessment of whee I think you need to do this. In the menu screen, go to the 7th menu category (it is the last icon with a wrench and is yellow). Go to External SpeedLite Control Go to Flash Function Settings Go to Wireless Set For Wireless Func., Enable this feature. Go to Firing Group. You can select - A + B + C (all three groups firing at once) - A:B (A and B flashes fire as per the A:B Flash Ratio you set) - A:B C, similar as A:B, but sets flash C as exposure compensation So by doing this, you will have some control over your slave flashes. However, I've never actually set a group on or off from here. Hopefully this leads you in the right direction.

[@maurice.j2167]

yes That's the only option i have for now --Thank you

[@PhotographyIn123]

No worries. Sorry I could not be more help. Have you tried strobist.blogspot.ca ? He is one of the gurus of flash out there.

[@maurice.j2167]

thank you much

[@geofflukins8913]

If people have this camera and flash and don’t know how to do what you have covered in this tutorial then all I can say is that they shouldn’t have bought it in the first place. Basic isn’t the word.

[@only_folls]

I have it and this is useful bought my mkiii used and had my 580exii sitting in my bag decades...just be nice
