Apr 08, 2008 20:44 | #1 I just ordered a 430 EX for my S5. Does it come with everything needed to attach it? I will be using it saturday for a senior shoot as fill flash out doors. I have never used a flash like this....is it generally easy to learn. It should be here Thursday so I will have a couple of days to practice. Any help is greatly appreciated! http://melissamcneesephotography.blogspot.com/

Works very well together. Just be sure the camera and flash are off when you mate and unmate. Davis (Fred)

I have heard and read of several folks that didnt power down and Its caused them problems.....besides Its just a smart way of doing it, why take the chance. Davis (Fred)

Thanks for the help and the tip....that sounds like something I'd do johngalt_ny wrote in post #5292317 Melissa The S5/430EX is a great combination. If you'd like, take a look here for some 430EX test shots: http://www.pbase.com/johngalt_ny/flashtest Enjoy. Wow...looks like it makes quite a difference. Thanks for the link.
