Is the DOF button the buttom that turn reds when its fully charged. I didn't touch that button. I just pick up the camera with the flash attach on it and it fired by itself.

Ok I think you guys are right about the DOF button. Current: Canon 40D w/BG-E2N, Canon 30D, Canon 10-22mm, Canon 17-55mm 2.8 IS w/EW-83J, Canon 70-200mm 2.8L IS, Canon 580EX II, Crumpler 6 Million Bag, and B+W MRC on all my glass.

Just on a side note. I used my 580ex today for a chinese new year program. I went through two sets of batterys. I notice the flash was warm by the end of the program. I didn't do any rapid shotting, but I did shoot a lot of picture with flash on. Is this bad for the flash?
