Canon Flash 580 EX: Is everyone having the same experience&gt;

2700mAH NIMH batteries (or higher) for $24.00 at COSTCO for a SONY set of 4AAs and two AAAs and charger) should give you better results. They are capable of many hundreds of rapid recharges and having a second set charged and ready as a backup allows for continuous shooting and charging for longer sessions.

I am also VERY frustrated with this. Many of my pictures are coming out blurry despite holding the button half way down to focus before firing. The manual is mute on the subject. I just called Canon and they were basically no help---just said to make sure the flash was up when firing inside. I have the SD card in that it came with. Any other ideas??Thanks!!!!!!

I didn't install one. As a result the frequency of flash is higher, which doesn't bother me. Do it if you want the normal flash rate.

Mine is not working with my 6D :( I took it to the camera store and tried it on another 6D and it did the same thing, the flash will fire but the picture will still be dark. I would say on a test of 15 shots, 14 would be dark and 1 would be correct, even though the flash fired each time. We tested it on each of the modes on the flash as well as manual and auto modes on the camera, always with the same negative results. I then placed the flash back on my canon T2i and it worked perfectly on my old canon as it always did :/.

check out the manual, its doing both (charging flash and writing cached buffer on the memory), meaning i may well need an external (ohh gooding!!!! more stuff for my camera) so for such a case, what external flash unit would you recommend, cause i've been looking at the at different ones, and the one that fits my needs the best according to what i've seen is the 430EX II by canon, what your insight is it to much to little?

Buy another brand! My flash quit on me within weeks after the one year warranty was up. Kodak told me to fix it for about $140.00, or give them back the camera for 15% off a purchase ONLY at their Kodak Store. Looks liek another reviewer had the same issue about 1 year to the day! Sorry I could not be more helpful about the repalcement of the bulb in your inquiry, but you are not alone!

I've used a Canon A80 for the last three years (just bought the 710 this weekend) and have had excellent luck with it as an underwater camera. True you have to wait about four seconds while the photo is being stored to the disk, but it gave me time to decide weather or not I wanted to keep it (and believe me, I junked plenty of shots, anenome fish are not cooperative subjects.) I took the 710 into my pool (with the housing, of course) and found the shutter lag to be almost un-noticeable. I almost always use flash u/w, so I find the time waiting for next shot delay was a non-problem (have to wait for the flash to build up again). I was particularly impressed with the macro photos. My little $400 setup took comparable macro photos to my buddies who were using housed SLR's with twin strobe setups. I'm not sure what happened with your memory card (unformatted) but I think you'll be happy with the 710.

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

Jeffroar, have you had any luck in determining a solution? I just got my FZ100 last week and have been struggling with the same issue. Without the flash I'm amazed at how well it captures true color/light, but when I open the flash to "brighten up" my shot the resulting image is much darker. Any thought (Les or others) on if an external flash would help here by extending the range?Thanks - Rich

I don't know of any flash issues, I have a white case though and it doesn't really seem to affect the flash? Then again, I don't take too many indoor/night photos so I may not have noticed. I'm sorry I couldn't be more help :(

Hello.I tested the flash on my two cameras (Canon 50D and Fujifilm S9100) without any problem. and how that Flash is completely manual only uses the central terminal of the camera to shoot, I do not have problems to use with it.Greetings.

I have only used the card for about 800 photos with my Nikon camera, but I have not had any problem thus far. (I shoot raw, so file sizes are not small.)Also, I have shot some bursts... 3-6 photos/ second with no problem.

I have been getting that too but doesn't happen all the time so i thought it might just be me. Only happens when its very dark and the flash is very bright. I thought it might be the skin being applied too close to the lens but was too lazy to check.

HiBefore we continue givibg suggestions. What flash do you have? I know you have a canon 6D and yn622c.

Odd. I doubt it's a defective unit. Try manual mode to see if that works. Also. check that you haven't added some underexposure flash compensation on the camera or the flash.

Thank you. I have the problem of horribly overexposed photos with the flash. On Christmas day about half of the photos were washed out with the flash, in Auto mode. When we turned off the flash, some photos were ok, but others were blurry. I tried other rooms with different lighting, with and without flash, and again the problem of washed out subjects. Any suggestions? thank you.

I haven't written a review, and haven't even read the other reviews (yet), but I am *definitely* having the soft focus and out of focus problems you are referring to. I can take 10 consecutive pictures - same lighting/angle, etc. and maybe one will be a good picture, 4 not so good, and 5 completely unusable. I wonder if certain models cause this, or if some of these were just defective. I bought because of all the positive reviews, but wish I would've spoke up when I first received my camera.
