Hello Guys,
After a hiatus I'm getting back into shooting, but I'm having issues with my Canon 430EX (bought in 2007). Overall, it's been used lightly.
(I shoot with the Canon 30D).
Issues:
1. After pressing ZOOM button and switching to manual zoom, I can adjust flash focus manually. However, I cannot change back to Auto Zoom. It appears to be locked into Manual Zoom mode.
-> The only way to get back to autozoom mode is to switch the flash to 'slave' mode and then just turn off slave mode.
-> In addition, when I zoom the lens in 'auto' zoom mode, there is no change in flash zoom on the flash LCD.
2. When I turn on the flash, it takes 1-3 minutes before the PILOT light illuminates and it actually starts firing flashes.
I'm wondering if there is a technical issue. Please lend some advice. It's much appreciated!
Thanks!
