Canon 7D Wireless Flash Transmitter Crash Course | Canon 7 D DVD

This is one of the advanced lessons from my new Canon 7D Crash Course. Sometimes I get asked if my DVDs will help experienced users because my DVDs say "Made for Beginners". The answer is "Absolutely Yes". My DVDs are Beginner Friendly, meaning, I assume you know nothing about your camera, but by the end of the video, we will cover so many techniques, settings and tips, that unless you are an expert photographer who has been using your camera for 1-2 years, there is going to be a TON of awesome info to help you learn your camera better.

This video covers the Internal Flash Transmitter on the 7D and focuses more on teaching users how to "read' and use the menu, instead of just telling you some settings. Over the long run, this will have the greatest benefit.

Enjoy! http://www.canon7DDVD.com

Great lesson. And that was a great picture of the model. Was that with your 7D?, and also, what lens? Thanx.

[MichaelTheMentor]

@cell9689 Yes, 7D with a 24-70 2.8 lens I believe

Just to be 100% Clear. The onboard Flash DOES NOT contribute to the image. It fires a split second before the shutter opens which is why your limited to only 1/250th of a sec shutter speed max. Any faster and the Flash WOULD contribute. So the Flash doesn't contribute AT ALL. it's wonderful

[MichaelTheMentor]

@mcewball13 It would really depend on what you are shooting and what your settings are. While it is an awesome feature, the flash absolutely does fire and can effect exposure of subjects close to the camera. Thanks!

Great video :) But my question is can i use high speed sync in this wireless system? :D I have a canon t3i :D

[meldiva2003]

Dont understand



[distanbach]

Terrific lesson; thanks very much!

Great Great Lesson, Thank's ...

The 7D talks to the speedlite by light. using Pulse-width modulation (PWM), or pulse-duration modulation (PDM), is a commonly used technique for controlling power to inertial electrical devices, made practical by modern electronic power switches. This turns on the flask then off when it has received the right exposure in TTL Unless your using manual. so a series of flashes will fire at the start and another series will flash at the end of the flash on time.

@devonmale69 Sorry I dont understand what you are saying. Thanks!



[devonmale69]

@MichaelTheMentor Of cours you cant If it did not fire then it will not be talking to your speedlite will it?? This is how it controls it with pulse so fast you cant see it turns on and off your speedlites, so if it not fire then your speedlites will also not fire. Do you know understand electronics? its not radio communication

@mcewball13 No, that's not true. Stand one meter from a bright wall, set the aperture to f/2.8 and ISO 3200. Now take a photo with the internal master only (no slaves), and have the master set to "not contribute". You'll see that it's fully appropriate to illuminate that scene by itself. The master fires precisely when the shutter has opened, in order to trigger the slaves when the shutter is open.
