I have a couple of 580 Ex ii and one 430 Ex ii. On ther 430 only, the manual 'M' symbol continually flashes and does not stay static when in manual mode. THis is not normal, so what has happened please?

You probably have your flash in Slave mode. Turning wlreless remote mode off should fix it.

Thanks Leo, I managed to find it a few moments ago. I don't use the speedlites as often as I should and my old memory fails sometimes. Appreciate your answer though.
