You forgot to mention that if you set the flash in ETTL mode and the Camera also in ETTL mode setting, you can fully control the flash power from your camera. It is the simple way to use the 430EX for a beginner
Thank you. I’ve had my Speedlite for nearly 2 years and never used it (don’t ask). I’ve taken it out as I want to take pics of students in a school where I work and I’m tired of the average pics taken on my iPhone. This video has given me the basics and some confidence to take my camera to school.
Very nice flash indeed, it has both E-TTL and Manual mode, and it's also able to be fired remotely. It also provides fast shutter support (which many cameras won't BTW). It is a nice all around flash that will cover all the needs of 95% of ppl out there
This is very helpful. I am having some trouble though turning on the high speed sync function when I have it connected to a wireless flash trigger. Any suggestions?
Hi are you able to explain the zoom feature when the flash head is angled directly ahead, when you zoom the lens it adjusts the flash to work at that zoom range. It does this when you press and hold the zoom button.
How does it compare to the Sigma EF610 DG ST Flashgun (Canon) ? I've not been doing photography for long and looking to get the easiest to work extras till I'm a bit more knowledgeable .
Thanks for this video, is there away to set the flash to respond quicker when using a A receiver and a transmuter to control it externally? For example when i take a picture i have to wait 4 to 5 or 10 sec for the red light on flash to come back on.
That can be improved by using NiMH batteries (e.g. Rechargeable Panasonic Eneloop) they help to deliver roughly the same power throughout the battery life. Of course, it won't immediately recharge the flash (turn on the red light) but keeps a decent and stable timing. I have around 1-2 seconds while using 1/4 of the power. Another option is to use a battery pack, but that just adds a lot of costs and weight.
Hi, my minus button on my 430exii is not working. I'm unable to reduce power output or any other function with the minus button. I've never dropped or mishandled my Speedlite. Can you please help with suggestions? Thank you.
hello, my flash only open the red ligth, no the green amd the batery are new. all it´s corect. i d´ont now whats happen, I think it´s broeke. Can you help me? I¨m not speak good english.
The light always stays red, and the little one underneath flashes green after you take the picture. If you push on the red light you can test to see if it flashes.
Hello there, i've been having a problem with my flash. If I try to change the manual settings of my flash it just wont happen. I'll change and then it will come back to 1/1.
I just googled this and found out that the screen is flashing all the time because you have the diffuser at the top out. Just put it away and it stops flashing. Go figure.

First time using a flash and I bought this gun, your video is short and to the point and it was exactly what I needed, thank you!

Hi May I ask how to use the light ( from the camera's built-in flash) to trigger Canon 430ex ? Thanks!

there is no picture when take a picture with the flash
How does it compare to the Sigma EF610 DG ST Flashgun (Canon) ? I've not been doing photography for long and looking to get the easiest to work extras till I'm a bit more knowledgeable .
thank you
Dank je wel heel leerzaam
Het was me een genoegen

My flash is stuck on TTL mode and I can't figure out how to get it back to ETTL. The high speed sync function won't work unless it's on ETTL. Help!
Thanks subscribed.
Great video. What helps the flash to recycle faster?
Stronger batteries. I used rechargeable ones and they seem to do the trick.
If you set all those functions in your camera do you just leave the flash on ETTL?
Hi, my minus button on my 430exii is not working. I'm unable to reduce power output or any other function with the minus button. I've never dropped or mishandled my Speedlite. Can you please help with suggestions? Thank you.
Sounds like you need to send it away for repairs. Probably best to contact Canon or a local camera store to facilitate the repair.
I pushed the zoom button once, it’s not working..
nice
what's the difference between ttl vs ettl ?
Will this work with eos 250D ?

I'm also having this same issue. How'd you fix it please
@@SaheedAdebayo I just changed it from the camera itself
how do get my screen to stop flashing
I just googled this and found out that the screen is flashing all the time because you have the diffuser at the top out. Just put it away and it stops flashing. Go figure.
My ETTL etc just flashes all the time. How do you make it solid.
This is not a continuous light, you can't make it always on. It's designed to just flash.
It means your pull out diffuser is not tucked back in fully.
