Canon's 420 EX has a "full-time" high speed sync model by flip of a switch. I don't under why the 500 DG Super, being a newer and more than comparable model, doesn't have such feature. Does the 580 have the same switch/feature as the 420? I shoot with a Little Canon

I used to use my 500 DG Super to trigger my 420 EX with glitches (the total flash output seems to be somewhat irregular at times). I gave up after some trial and error. There were previous discussions on POTN about how unreliable it is to mix different brands of flashes in wireless operation. But if you don't mind going into full manual mode...

I've never turned it on and off. But I find that even when doing this, the camera will not let me raise the shutter speed above its normal sync speed on both my 30D and 350D.

It worked every time. No need to turn it off and on all the time then. Did you lose Digital Photo Professional (DPP)? Get it here
