As topic really. I have myt ST-E2 mounted on my 5D and although it is firing the red lamp on the front it's not firing the flash. I have lost my instructions for the 580EXII and am wondering if I have a custom function i need to change to get it to fire. The ST-E2 is on channel 1 and the ETTL light is lit.

Just the one flash............any ideas?

Did you set the 580EX II as a SLAVE?

Time for this post to sink to the depths but may be useful for people searching :)
