Its absolutely fantastic. The flash reduction technology works a treat, and being able to control other slave flash units is excellent. Canon 50D, 400D, 24-105mm f4L, 50mm f1.8, 100mm f2.8, 580EX

VonClev Member 39 posts Joined Mar 2004 More info | Just had the opportunity to use a 20D and 580EX for an extended indoor event - not a single picture missed as a consequence of mis-exposure (of course, composition is a very different matter - think the Digic chip will ever get smart enough to help us out on that one!?!?!!?

But today I was really confused trying to shot friend's car at night. All shots in P mode came out underexposured. Probably the reflective surface just confuses ETTL system.... If you shoot raw, you can easily recover the underexposed shots. I did one tonight where I upped the exposure by 2 stops to get it right.... reflective surface again too. But it turned out pretty decent in the end. Canon 50D, 400D, 24-105mm f4L, 50mm f1.8, 100mm f2.8, 580EX

Might be worth a try just for the experience. "With Some Practice . . . I Am Able to Believe Six Impossible Things Before Breakfast!"

VonClev Member 39 posts Joined Mar 2004 More info | In terms of difficult lighting situations, the best bet is to go from P mode to M mode and adjust both the flash (affecting foreground exposure) and aperture exposure (affecting background exposure) compensations - you may need to use a tripod. You can get great exposures this way......

Chuck 20D, 10D, 580/550/420 EX, and way too much L glass..... this is great if you have time... but often times there is no second chance to bracket and expierment... which is why e-ttl flashes are so popular...its a smame that the e-ttl2 technology in the 580ex doesnt work on the 10d though MikePanic.com

The ETTL-II technology is built into the camera itself (the cameras that have it, that is, such as the 20D, 1D2 and 1Ds2). ...Leo
