1.How much time does it take for the flash to reload? 2.Is this flash automatic or could you set it for automatic?

The flash is fairly quick, but overheats if you shoot too quickly(10 shots in secession at full power) Full manual, no auto. Although it does have a slave mode.

I haven't used it for a while, but I seem to recall that you can set it to upload after each shot automatically or only when you decide. I think I determined that you should NOT have it upload after each shot. I do know for a fact that I have been able to shoot a lot of photos and then transfer the lot later. Also, check that your mobile device is not set to sleep. That would certainly kill the connection. Sorry, I can't be more helpful at the moment.

For what it's worth - and I apologize if I'm stating the obvious - check if your flash is on Manual set to full strength. Use your camera to check the settings and adjust the flash settings way down and way up, using the exact same exposure, and see if there's a difference

Yes you have to raise the flash manually, but there is banner on the viewing screen that tells you to raise the flash hence not too difficult to remember. Also with the fast F2 lens haven't found much need to use the flash!

If your flash has a hotshoe it will work. It won't send TTL information, but that doesn't bother me as I shoot so much in manual anyway and like to be in control of my exposure.

This flash is entirely manual so if you're willing to set the power and try a couple times to get the settings right then sure. If you're planning on shooting in controlled settings and can take the time to adjust the power output each time then it is absolutely a treat. If you want something to use in conditions where the light is highly variable then I would look elsewhere and consider a flash with TTL functionality.

I have a 40 D. The flash is used for wedding photography. Works in auto and manual mode. I had no issues with this product. Hope this helps

The pictures always are taken, sometimes it takes a few seconds to focus it. I have not used the timer function yet but the flash always works when its needed, and if it doesnt go off when you want it to you can force it on by changing the mode to backlighting and it will always go off.

There is a small button just below where the flash is housed that you press to pop it out and activate flash, I assume once its up it will continue to use flash as needed until you press it back down. Personally I like this feature since I prefer natural light photography.

The flash is located on top of the camera, to the left as the screen faces you. When you set the flash to auto, does the flash pop up? What mode are you using? iauto?

The first thing to do is read your manual. I haven't had this problem. I use some flash at night and some fill in flash in the day, depending on the subject matter. I use the auto mode a lot....but you may want to experiment with going in and changing you settings, and possibly your ISO settings. Again, I can only suggest studying your manual.

Hi, The flash can be turned off in some settings (ie Intelligent Auto), but not in others (ie Background Defocus).

Manually it works great, but the auto?.....not so well. Took some outdoor pics of my nephew's. It was a sunny day, no clouds. Went to take a pic under a tree but it was so bright behind him, he was a black silhouette. Tried zooming in and out to try to get it to recognize where I wanted it to focus; it it didn't work. Tried turning the flash on while in the auto setting. It wouldn't work either. Have to go into program settings to get the force flash to work. Have to adjust the aperture to get the backlight (not every time, but whenever it won't do it automatically.)

Not your 60D, this is a manual flash, you have to set it each time you want to take a flash photo. To get the automatic camera settings you need a TTL flash.

What is happening that you feel the shutter is being left open too long? Are you shooting in manual mode? I know the only issue I had with this flash was cannot shoot with a long shutter because it blacks out the photo. Is that what you're having?

Better that you have to pop it up manually. That way you control the flash - it does not control you. How hard is it to push the little flash button.If that level of complexity is too difficult for you, this camera is not for you.

I used it for a week, shooting mostly stills, but some video and only then did it show as low battery. Of course, if you shoot a lot of video, the battery life will probably plummet (but I don't know that for sure). Did not use the flash much at all (so I don't know how that affects it). For normal shooting, you can probably get by with the included battery and one spare.
