Howdy,
So here's my problem - I bought a 7D recently and I read the manual regarding how to use a wireless flash. I currently own a Speedlite 430EX and I set the configuration in the menu so that only the wireless flash would shoot. But the thing is, both the built-in and wireless flashes are shooting, when only the wireless one was supposed to do it. I honestly don't know what I'm doing wrong!
Here's how I set my configurations:
Menu > Flash Control > Built-in flash func. setting:
Flash mode: E-TTL II
Shutter sync.: 1st curtain
E-TTL II: Evaluative
Wireless func.: Wireless only (Second option. There are three - Wireless:built-in | Wireless | Wireless+built-in)
Channel: 4 (Matches external flash config)
Firing group: A+B+C
Thanks in advance!
EDIT: I've read around the forum and found out that the built-in flashes has to shoot aswell so that the Speedlite can receive the sginal, but they also said the built-in wouldn't show up in the image. But in mine, it does. It messes up the exposure.
