Any issues with this setup? Just bough a G10 and already own the 420EX flash. I have the 580EX but would rather use the 420 dues to its smaller size.

Flash comp made on the flash is not affected.

Larop Mostly Lurking 15 posts Joined Oct 2009 Location: San Antonio,TX More info | The other thread had this comment: xhack wrote in post #9023443  With a G10 / 270EX combination, I can confirm you lose the menu compensation settings. Ditto with a G10 / 580EX combo. However, the setting does remain fixed in both instances when using flash compensation within the Func/Set (centre button) option. [This applies in AV and TV settings; I have not tried this in Green Box, P or Manual] edit: I can also confirm the settings hold in P mode and, in Manual, the Flash Output setting survives. A brain-fade in AUTO; it was only as I switched to that setting that I realised the option did not exist. Duh!
