Where can I find instructions on how to use the slave feature of this unit? However I try it doesn't seem to work.

[SpeedlightsNet]

@BoardshortsMedia go to the speedlights website and the review article of the flash, you will find much more info there

[SpeedlightsNet]

you can use the flash in the camera hot shoe, but it doesn't provide automatic exposure control. go to the website to read the review and learn about the options, and alternatives with auto (=TTL) mode.

I noticed 7 beacons, when describing the power used, is it 1/7th etc or what?

[SpeedlightsNet]

@MIkeness101 it's 7 different output levels: 1/1 - 1/2 - 1/4 - 1/8 etc down to 1/64 min

how do you make this flash work with canon 550d (t2i,kiss)

i do not know how to configure it with my camera menu system

thanks!

[SpeedlightsNet]

@enwordsand this is a simple manual-mode flash. It does not talk with your camera. The only command it can understand is "fire". To use it in the camera hot shoe switch it to mode "M", pick the correct manual output level using the "plus/minus" button on the flash, and then fire with shutter speeds of 1/200 or longer. Try which camera modes it will work in. Mode "Tv" or "Av" and "M" should work.

wow and this whole time I actually thought that the back panel just looked crappy...but it is actually a protective cover. haha. i feel so stupid now.

This is not a review, it's just some guy unpacking it and testing it. Not helpful at all.

[skalpell]

Will this work with a wireless transmitter?

[k13fer]

[lsvtec]

[CalmPlains]

Please rename this "Boring unpacking video" bc that is all that it is. You owe me 5 minutes of my life.

[ouchmyappendix]

Do the eneloop batteries really improve the recycle time by like two seconds?! Wow. I may have to look into those. Thx for the vid!

[WhiteBeltAcademy]

I dont understand why people post videos of them unpacking shit. This isn't a review. TALK!

[rick2OO9]

This is NOT a review. This is an idiot's guide to unpack a flash.
