Full Version: Need Help with 580 EX II Flash
OpenSourcePhoto > YA wanna FIGHT! > Canon and Nikon

I was doing some shooting this morning and I noticed that in ETTL mode, even on manual set on my 5D, the aperture and shutter speed would change when I had the flash on. I couldn't find the manual online and I won't be with someone who knows this flash until Tuesday or Wednesday. So any help with this, would be much appreciated.

In AV mode, the aperture would change as well, so it was a little confusing. Aaaaaargh....

Thanks for your help! smile.gif

There is nothing in the manual that I can find that explains why the camera would automatically switch shutter speed and aperture when the flash is attached. I'm perplexed. Any ideas?

Just a shot, but it could have something to do with sync speed.

My shutter speed is less than 1/250??
