I have a 30d and just bought the 430ex ii and I am having difficulty getting it to work. I am following the instructions-inset batteries set to ETTL and press the shutter half way and I don't get the Effective range displayed and the flash icon doesn't light up.
When I initially turn the flash on the pilot light doesn't turn to red-how long does it normally take to charge? and I cant fire a test flash-might I be doing something wrong? might the flash or camera be faulty,
Oh and I tried shooting in auto to see if that would get it working-but nothing happened.
any ideas or any links to idot guides for flash use would be appreciated
