Hello all, I am new to the forum. I recently purchased a Canon Speedlite 580 EXII for my Canon EOS 7D. The flash works well when the camera is set to auto and the flash is on ETTL. I only shoot in manual, so I want to set the flash to function in manual as well. I've changed the custom functions to external metering: manual and changed the ISO and aperature to match that of my camera (also in manual). According to the owner's manual, I should now be getting a flash range to display on the speedlite's LCD. Instead I am getting nothing.The pilot light won't light up and there's no reading for a range. I'm getting frustrated because it's as if the flash isn't even on the camera. Am I missing something or is there a problem with the flash? Any help or suggestions would be much appreciated!
