Anyone using the 5D with the 580EX. I would be most grateful for advice on what settings to use as have just moved to Canon from Nikon. Most of my work is inside (I used manual on Nikon) but it would be great to have fill flash settings as well.

ssim POTN Landscape & Cityscape Photographer 2005  10,884 posts Likes: 6 Joined Apr 2003 Location: southern Alberta, Canada More info | I use the 580 with my 5D and I shoot with the camera in manual mode usually at around 1/125th and f8 depending on the distance to the subject. The flash output has been just about right with very little post processing required for exposure. There are alot of variables that play into flash work and one setting does not fit all but I have found manual to be the best solution for me. My life is like one big RAW file....way too much post processing needed.
