@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.

In ETTL you dial down the flash exposure on the camera. Its different than exposure compensation, so don't confuse the two.

These Canon 580EX II training videos are great. These are the best on Line 580EX II training videos I have found on line. This video goes into details on how the set up the controls. I have not found any other free training videos on line that teaches you this much detail. Trying to learn how to set up these flash units but just reading a book is too hard and takes just too much time and you have to read and read again before it makes since but these videos clear all that up of you. Thank you.

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???

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.

Thank you for making the videos. Its a great intro to the Canon 580exii.

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
