Finally, a person who actually knows how to give a tutorial. Im a beginner, skip all the photography lingo and just get to the point, which is exactly what this guy did. Bravo!
Excellent video. Simple and clearly explained. Hard to find in the UA-cam ocean.
+Patricia Connelly thanks
I just wanted to take a minute and say thank you, David. I watch instructional you tube videos when I need to and sometimes people prattle on about unnecessary things and I just felt like you were quick, concise and straight to the point and I really appreciated it! Thank you.
thanks
For those with curious minds - the "I'm not sure what this shutter priority thing does"... When selected it allows you to exceed the Canon max sync shutter speed of 1/250th of a sec.. It's called (ironically) Hi-Speed Shutter sync up to 1/8000 / sec. The other with the >>> tells it to flash at first curtain or last curtain in your camera. Useful to use last curtain for longer exposures all the way up to bulb. Or down to bulb I suppose is more accurate
And I am seeing this after owning the flash for over 6 years now. Just exactly what I needed to know. Thank you very much for the tutorial. Awesome job indeed!!!
Thanks
man that was great u explained more in 7 mins then a 3 hour video i downloaded ..thanks .
I just got the flash and playing with the controls. One really nice feature it has it the ability to auto adjust the flash range when you adjust the focal length on a zoom lens. Ex. I have a 18-55 lens. The flash will drop down to 24mm at the 18mm end of the lens. At the long end 55mm, the flash moves up to 50mm. It will adjust to a few in between settings as well. Very nice durable case that comes with it which has an inside pocket to hold the flash stand too.
thank you sir, now I can look like I know what I'm doing
+Miguel Jacobo thanks
Your 7 minute video is better than the manual. Thank you.
I've been in video for years and have been trying to branch into photography for the past 3. This is by far one of the easiest equipment tutorials to understand, simple and to the point. Thank you!!!
Wow, you should make the instruction manual for this thing. After I read it I had no clue, you cleared it up. Thank you, Im really new to all this and its nice to get instruction in english.
Just got a 430 EX II and thanks to you I already know how to use it. THANKS!!
Thanks so much! I have had my 430ex for a couple years but could only use it through the camera. FINALLY I know how to control it manually!!!
Thanks for saying you don't know what it does instead of talking bullocks or ignoring the setting completely!
Haven't got one yet, but now I sure know more about why i might want to get one.
thanks!
Just picked up a 430 EX II. Great overview..exactly what i needed to know to get started!
Much better than a lot of professional photography instructors. Thanks!
thanks
Just to add to the general comments here...just what I needed, nice and straightforward. Thank you
thanks for the help! owned my 430 ii for over a year now and have only just learnt how to use it in manual.
Thank you. Someone just let me borrow this particular flash so getting information on it helps. You speak clearly and do a good job of articulating the key points.
just got it today. Did an unboxing video of it. I love this, it improves your photo by A LOT. i was blown away by the result..
Awesome job dude, very informative and clear. I liked that you acknowledged that you weren't sure about that particular button rather than trying to explain something poorly. And really, most people won't use that button anyhow, especially for those who watched this video tend to be more amateurs like myself. Thanks again!
Thanks.
I've actually had my flast for a while now, never looked into it properly enough and this is a great starter video for flash newbies thanks! Subed, faved, liked, followed etc
I'm trying to use my old Canon 430EX II with my new Sony A6300 camera and this video was exactly what I needed to know. Thanks.
Quick, simple and to the point. People talk NOT manual waffle. Cheers.
Thanks for this. I'm still relatively new to photography and using an external flash. I bought the 430 EX II this morning. Your explanation is very clear and easy to understand for someone like me that is just starting out. Thanks again.
Hi David, I did look in all comments here, but regarding the High Speed function in 430EX II (the third button from left to right) is when you'd like to set the shutter speed higher than 1/200. By default the maximum speed is 1/200 even if you setup a higher than that, and the reason is about the how fast the curtain close and open, so 1/200 is the limit, and with speed over that you could expect some black strips in your image. Please, if I told something silly, correct me! Nice tutorial!
Just bought one of these....your vid has helped me get to grips with it, as a previous responder said, " better than the manual"
For others who want to know what the last button is that he mentioned. It controls the flashes high speed sync abilities. Usually you can't fire a flash if you're shooting faster than 1/200sec. Pushing the button once will put the flash into high speed sync mode, which means you can shoot with shutter speeds up to 1/8000sec (so long as you are using it on cam, or via an advanced trigger/cable). Press it twice, and the flash fires just before the second curtain on your shutter shuts.
I have the 580EX and have been needing another flash for a long time.
I have been considering the 430exII but wasn't sure it would be enough. I need it more for my second body and for off camera shooting. i think i'm sold on it now. Thanks for the video.
This was an amazing tutorial. Looks like the other 6 people who didn't like this love their Chinese cheap flashes.
Thanks man, this helped a lot. Just what I needed, not too much info at once, just enough to let me know how to mess around with it and learn how to get the look I like.
Cool. Just got one, started to read the manual and thought oh no, I don't understand hahaha. Your video helps a great deal.Thanks for the help
nice nice explanation... just bought 430 and still getting hang of it... but this video gave me a head start
Thank you for the video. My zoom setting was stuck on 14mm and I couldn't figure out how to change it. I had the built-in wide panel over the flash and as soon as I retracted it, I was able to change the zoom setting like in the video.
I rarely used my flash, answered some of my questions, now I cans start using it more. Thanks.
happy to help
Thank so much David. Took me forever to find this kind of info. I own a Sigma and the same basic concept explained here, now allows me to apply that in return. I feel a lot more confident and knowledgeable and how to use my Sigma speedlite. Again, thanks a million.
Thanks! It shed a lot of light into how to use the flash!
Best how-to video concerning that flash! Kinda bummed I only found this now and not a few months back when I first purchased the flash haha thanks!
Thank you for your tutorial! I have an evening military homecoming to shoot tonight and your tutorial is greatly appreciated
Heather Ward Happy I could help
I have been watching video after video trying to understand what these setting actually mean, and your video is the only one that actually explained the meaning of the settings, along with how to use them. I feel like I actually understand how to use this flash after watching your video!! Thank you so much! Would have been nice if you knew a little more about the last two settings. I really appreciate how easy to understand and follow this video is, so I am bumming because I don't know if I will find another video to explain the last two settings as well. But THANKS SO MUCH for this!
Tristesse Carrico I have an updated version with a better explanation. ua-cam.com/video/xcasLE_uYsg/v-deo.html
Nice, quick intro to how to use the 430EXII. Thank you!
+Mel B thanks
Thank you thank you!!! I was using this speedlite last week and I have no idea how to use it lol. Now I do THANKS TO YOU! =]
Thanks David. Totally helped me out. Mixing in the Canon 430ex with a Nikon D600. Now I'm off to grab some spectacular pics of real estate listing in Las Vegas.
happy to help.
the last thing is called high speed sync, its a new thing and helps with the photos when shooting outside, its the one i use the most, cos its a fill light, even indoors.
This was awesome! I knew nothing about this flash, and know I completely understand!
Just bought one today. This tutorial was just what i was looking for! Thanks!
Great video, it was very helpful- I ordered one today, and even though I don't have it yet I feel like I have a pretty good understanding of how it works. Thanks!
Beats reading the manual. Big thanks for the info.
never knew how to use it and this vid explained it all.....Thanks
+Bang Bang TV happy to help
Thanks for the video. It's a nice overview of the functions of the 430EX.
Thanks
Thanks so much. I found the manual pretty intimidating and I started to fear my flash but I'm good to go now :)
Thank you David. Your video is very helpful indeed. Many Greetings from Greece! George.
This is a great review. I've never really taken the time to learn how to use external flashes past turning them on and maybe setting them up as slaves. This actually helped me out a lot though. I planned on buying this flash and now I'm far more confident in my knowledge (no idea if I even worded that right, hahah) Thanks again!
Thank you! Best 430 ex II learning vid by far!
Took me forever to find a video like this. Most how to's about flash are more theory and technical explanations. I just need to know what each button does and its functions. This was perfect.
MrFloydReeves happy to help
Great video! Finally got around to understanding this thing.
The button that you do not know how to use is a flash assist to help your camera focus in low light. The video was a good beginner video but would have been better if that was researched and added at the end as it is a useful feature for some situations.
Wow thank you very much, this is much better than reading a tiny letters instruction manual
Thanks
Hi David, great explenation about the flash. Helps a lot to get a better overview about. THX
This is so helpful. I have watched it a few times. thanks!
I just bought this flash! Great video!
Thank you so much! Super clear and concise instructions!
Nice explanations. Thanks!
thanks
Ahhh! THANK YOU for explaing this in a layman's terms! Big help!!
This was immensely helpful and very straightforward! Thank you.
The H button is the High Speed Sync. It means you can shoot with higher shutter speeds and the flash will sync with your shutter speed. The reason for this is that with high sutter speeds your shutter can open and close before the flash fires or it fires half way through an exposure. This causes black lines halfway through your image. With the sync on this wont happen.Easy!
Excellent presentation. For BEGIINER THIS WAS GREAT.
Thanks! You saved me a lot of time. Happy New Year!
thanks for the info,, im stuck with the ETTL,, but now having this info about manual mode my shots look better
Abbey king Happy I could help
finally i can use my flash properly ! thanks a lot!
Hey Jon, the zoom values relate to full frame sensors. But the flash is able to adjust the zoom automatically if you have a crop (aps-c) sensor.
speedlights net / 2011 / 03 / 30 / canon-430ex-ii
Scroll the page down to the chapter "Auto Zoom".
most excellent tutorial. Gifted teacher.
Unless you have a flash transmitter and receiver you onboard flash will all ways come up if you are shooting it wireless check this video out it should help "How To Use The T3I Wireless Flash Settings " pretty much the same settings for 7D
I still keep a 430 exII with a couple Yongnuo 603 transceivers in my bag for when I do landscapes and want some light on my foreground. I wouldn’t advise anyone to buy a new Canon speedlight these days, I would certainly look for a secondhand 430 as a first strobe. They have great functions and boy they can bounce, Ive dropped mine on hard surfaces far too many times. (I’m not taking responsibility for anyone purposely testing this)
Agreed
Yeah, I made sure it was popped up every time.... I wouldnt think that just pressing the shutter would just work magically! I held the "Flash" button until it switched over to slave mode (you can see channel 1-4 and group a-c), then, while having the onboard flash open on my camera, I would take a picture and look straight into the slaved 430ex II, just to make sure I didnt miss it. And yes, I made sure it was pointing towards the front of the speedlight.
Great tutorial thanks :) But one question, when you zoom the flash to 24mm or 50mm, is that for a full frame or a crop sensor? or can the flash detect what camera it's connected to and compensate?
Cheers David you have been a life saver
Thank you for the great demonstration on how to use this wonderful device. I shall attempt to use mine now. =)
@sjphs Regular batteries around 800 shoots or if you get energizer lithium batteries i think I was getting around 1200 shots
not sure if anyone asked but I think you skipped the mounted part, how does the batteries work when mounted? will the pilot button still be needed before the flash? great video :)
Good overview. Easy to follow, and done in a nice concise way.
@raluca, your menu is flashing because your diffuser screen is not pushed all the way in. Push it in until it clicks.
Thanks for the tutorial. This has helped me a lot.
Yes its a great flash I have a link to it in the description bar . I have 3 of them and love them
Thank you for the video! The button he doesn´t use: high speed sync, when you want to use higher speed than 1/250; and second curtain flash, wich sends the light at the end of long time exposures.
+Claudio Andrade I need to do an updated version of this
Thank you very much for your lesson. It gave every thing about 430EX II. Thank again for doing this for us. Can I have your website again please?
Can you teach us about low key lighting using 430 EX please.
Parsa, Sydney
thank you soooo much for this quick rundown!
I didn t know how to use my flash, now it s ok thanks so much
DCK JP thanks
Nice instructional video, hope to see more.
The "H" with the lightning bolt put the flash at high-speed sync. Which mean you can shoot past your shutter sync speed. So for example you can really darken that sky at shutter speed over 250 and not get the black line. What happens is the flash acts a strobe light but you will lose half power, yet the Naked eye can't see it... Look up on youtube snapfactory high-speed sync
Thank you for the great straight to the point tutorial! Much appreciated!!
+One Man One Volt happy to help
You can also adjust the exposure of flash in ETTL mode.
Great video to watch before buying it. Awesome job !
Thanks
Look into Sanyo Eneloops, they seem to be the goto ones for rechargeables as they hold their charge when not in use. Cheaper in the long run too.
@hoavcao yes with the t3i or a wireless transmitter and receive unit
I enjoyed it and learned something. Thank you!
Thanks David, this was great help for me!
Mr T happy to help
@kimboy007 Yes with batteries in the flash you know your ready for the next picture when your pilot button is red you have to wait for it to turn red or it will not flash.
thank you so much for making this. it all makes sense now haha. do you have any suggestions on what settings to use for shooting at concerts and still be able to capture the different colored lights and stuff?
Great and straightforward...that really helped.
