I recently got a 580EXII flash gun for my 400D
Whenever I try to put on the ETTL by pressing through the modes, it never flashes up. I get 'E' 'M' 'Multi' but never ETTL.
Any ideas? The camera is connected on securely, so not sure?

But Canon provides that kind of information too, if you want it from them. If you prefer something else, there is tons of information on various internet sites, this included. Anders
