The 420 has no means of cranking down the output, no manual mode, and so you get as much light as the camera/flash pair decide to give you. Sometimes that's way too much, and sometimes it's not nearly enough. And sometimes it's just right. Take as much time as you can, and shoot subjects as much like your target subjects as possible. It's way too easy to end up with blown-out areas and very weird shadows.

The 420EX will work on a stand as a wireless slave. No cables or other gear is needed. There are people on this forum that can go into detail on how to set this up, but I'm not one of them. Where are you Scott? Ron.
