[swmocity]

finally it came yesterday...i love it already...dont know what the hell im doing yet lol, but the flash is so much better than the pop up...below is a pic i took of my self...just playing around...i also took a picture in my garage in complete darkness...i was shocked at the amount of light the flash puts out

That's awesome. I just got mine a couple months ago..I'm still trying to figure out studio lighting =/
...But I figured out that bouncing the flash, makes the lighting soooo awesome. Congradulations on your purchase!

how do u set it back to the auto mode or the default setting..the manual says it should be a clear button..i dont c it

 

[Phazan]

If you're on maunual mode, just press the 'mode' button. It will put it back to ETTL

EDIT: wait, I think you have to clear the custom functions? I don't even know, this thing is so confusing. Oh and make sure the zoom isn't set to manual anymore. I don't know about the button that sets everything back to normal, I think I remember reading about it..I just redo everything. I'm still learning how to use it

i put it back on ettl...but the zoom is still on M..i changed it from m to auto before..but now it dosent do it anymore...let me re read the manual

 

[Phazan]

Just keep pressing the left button, till it the M disapears

 

[swmocity]

[Phazan]

Press the 'ZOOM' button, so that it blinks, then press the left button till the 'M' goes away

 

[swmocity]

i know i have to press the zoom button then it starts to blink..the i press the left button to put it back on auto zoom..i done it earlier..and now its not doing anything..dosent even blink when i press the zoom button

 

[swmocity]

Press the 'ZOOM' button, so that it blinks, then press the left button till the 'M' goes away
