There are several features that don't work with the G6, like the high speed sync mode. But you can use a higher shutter speed than the default 1/60th of a second by using the shutter priority mode. It will sync up to 1/250th of a second.

I suppose never, the AF assist lamp only works with EOS SLR/DSLR cameras, because the external flash is blocking the biult-in one, the G6 has it´s own af assist light. But you CAN use the assist light of the 420 with the G6: when you put the 420 in slave mode, the AF assist lamp will permanently send lights out, so you can use this light for lowlight focus, then shoot.

I didn't undestand this "But you CAN use the assist light of the 420 with the G6: when you put the 420 in slave mode, the AF assist lamp will permanently send lights out, so you can use this light for lowlight focus, then shoot".

One thing still annoys me when it comes to external flash and G6: the external flash will NOT work in continuous shooting mode (neither normal nor high speed), thats odd. Kusie

The AF of the 420Ex or the AF of the G6 ?I meant the AF light of the 420EX of course.
