    I've had my 430EXII for quite some time, and never have been able to use it to its utmost. As an "old" man(73) I fin it refreshing to see someone in the younger generation use their knowledge for enlightening us "old" folks. I learned an awful lot on my flash, thanks to you. Have a Blessed day.

    I am MOST grateful to (finally, at last) stumble upon your excellent video! Thank-you for this video!
    My 430 EX came second-hand in 2010 and now in 2017 I know what to do with the buttons - YAY!

    Awesome video, straight to the point covering the surface items to get me using my 430EX II with a lot more knowledge on the speedlite than I had 10 mins ago. Thank you so much

    That beat at the end was hot. I was just banging on the table, then the beat dropped. Yes!
    Nice video.

    I finally bought the Speedlite and watched you original video on it and your updated version. Glad to learn from you on how to operate it. It saves me lots of time and not having to read the manual. Thanks.

    Oh wow. I didn't even know my 430EXII had a diffuser until I saw your video. Thank you!!

    Just watching a couple of your flash tutorials. They are very easy to understand and informative. Flash is something I like many others find difficult to understand. Thanks for your help.

  • @simonsidbartle6013
    @simonsidbartle6013 9 років тому

    Thanks so much for posting this vid! I've been trying to work out how to use the 430EXII as a off camera flash for a very long time now, due to losing the instruction book! Just watched your vid and straight after was using it as an off camera flash! My world has just got bigger. many thanks.

  • @daveland2653
    @daveland2653 3 роки тому

    wow. i've had this thing for a couple years and never knew how to use it. I think you gave me a jump start on it. thanks

  • @MileyonDisney
    @MileyonDisney 10 років тому +3

    Thank you so much! I never realized that Custom Function 1 would stop the off-camera lights from continually needing to be awakened after they fell asleep. That was always very irritating, problem now solved.
    I would mention that second curtain is also used when there is a moving object and you want a trail behind it, like a running person. Second curtain, with a slow shutter speed, will record the trail and at the end, flash. If you used first curtain, the flash would be at the beginning of the trail (which would actually be the end), which would be backwards.
    I got quite a bit out of this video. I just purchased a Canon 580EX (not the 580EX II) which should arrive in a few days, so I'll be back on UA-cam looking for more videos like this one. Thanks!

    Thanks for the informative video. I am just moving into digital from my 35 year old Nikon film camera and equipment. I picked up a 430 EX II at a great price and took it to a graduation event thinking it couldn't be that much different. After a complete FAIL I'm slowing down a bit to learn all over it seems. Your videos have helped me tremendously, thank you for taking the time to share your knowledge. Your videos are straight forward and easy to follow.

    It was a great video. Just what I was looking for: a video showing in detail the various functions of the flash. I have a 580 ex II flash, but I learned a lot about its features looking at your excellent video. Keep up the good work!!!!

    Great Video, much clearer than the manual.
    I picked up a mk1 430 from a lady who thought the thing was broke (it was switched to slave mode), the thing is a revelation to me I'd been using a fully manual YN-560 III which being all manual was a nightmare at times. The ETTL and assist beam have transformed my results and the HSS and 2nd Curtain Sync are going to open a world of possibilities

    Thank you for the tut can I just make a little point regarding the built in diffuser it takes your flash to 14mm and if you don't know like I didn't when you push it back into place if you have not pushed it back all the way just leaving it out only by a slight amount then your still looking at the 14 mm spread I had not realized my mistake and thought that my flash was broke I found out the answer on youTube thanks again for putting up the vid regards
