Changing Default Distance Settings on 580EX

[Jim7226]

Quick question. How does a person switch to feet (rather than showing meters) as a default measurement setting on the distance indicator bar for the 580EX?

If you have the manual it is in the bottom of page 27.

Press Custom Function
Hold 'set' button for 2 secs
Display will blink
Turn the dial to set feet or meters
Press the 'set' button

Thanks. I must have overlooked that somehow. I searched through that manual for over 30 minutes before giving up. Even Bert's Cheat Sheet didn't seem real clear about what to do.:D

Thanx for asking that question. I have been wanting to know that too. They didn't make it stand out too much in the manual.
