I've been reading everything about 580EXII on this forum and thanks to everyone who posted - I finally got 580EX II to work as a flash. I still think the auto-sensor (is there such a thing) is broken in ETTL but at least I can get good exposures when in "M" mode.
Last couple days, after reading about it here, I changed to "M" mode. I played with flash from 1/1 through 1/8 and even in close to complete darkness I can get good shots - this baby is BRIGHT.
I have been shooting in Av mode and did notice that whether I shoot f/4 or f/22, the camera will always have shutter at 1/8000. Is this normal? Especially when it is almost completely dark?
Still going to send flash and 30D to Canon for them to check the ETTL problems but am enjoying "M" mode for now. 580EXII is everything I thought a flash should do when buying it :thumbup:
