Hello
I am trying to adjust the Speedlite settings through the 40D menu options!
But the menu is saying it cant communicate with the 550EX....
Am i doing something wrong?

The 40D gives you the ability to adjust the Flash settings through the 40D menu! But i keep on getting the message that the camera cant comm with the flash!

Did you lose Digital Photo Professional (DPP)? Get it here

True.... but when i want to shoot at the 2e curtain... with the 30D i could select it within the Custom menu.. where can i alter this on a 40D??
