Also the description of S1 and S2 are vague from what I've seen.My
understanding is S1 works from the flash of the master.How does S2 work?

I use the S2 on the YN460 for the optical slave setting, the other (S1) I believe doesn't ignore the preflash but I don't know about the YN467

I've been using them with Ctr-301p triggers. Your post just gave me a duh moment. I didn't understand the S2 function until just now. It makes sense now if I understand it correctly. This would allow me to use it as an optical slave in conjuction with another flash such as my 580EXII in eTTL, b/c it would ignore the pre-flash. Ohhhh...now I get it (I think). Thanks!

Is it worth the $30 premium over the tried and tested 465? I just got mine for my T3i. Works great. If you want a cheap (but well made) strobe that supports E-TTL, get this one. I am extremely happy. Works while bracketing and on continuous shutter settings. One tip. If you have AE compensation set, turn it back to zero (off) before putting the YN467 on camera. I freaked out when I couldn't get access to the E-TTL settings. Turned it off, and all was well. You CAN use the AE Compensation after you've gotten the camera to recognize the YN467.

Hi - I have this combination of camera and flash and I am not sure how to switch AE compensation off - can you help a noob out?

You CAN use the AE Compensation after you've gotten the camera to recognize the YN467. One other recommendation: I purchased the Polaroid (Yes, Polaroid) Tri mode triggers. Dirt cheap and they work pretty well. These triggers are unique in that they are wireless E-TTL triggers (i.e., the triggers transmit the E-TTL message to the off-camera flash. Still testing them but it looks good so far. Does the ETTL stuff actually work? The (few) reviews I've found seem to suggest it doesn't and they're just "dumb" triggers. If it does, how does it handle multiple flashes?

Yeah, I read through some of those. I don't really expect Amazon to know the difference. They would just copy what the manufacturer wrote and put it in the description. I'm surprised that B&H wouldn't bother to edit their listing. gordon
