TUTORIAL | Camera Set Up for External Speedlite Flashes for CANON DSLRs | Video

Thanks

Thank you!

My Flash didn't work after all these steps but at least this gave me the frame work to start. The issue was with the setup of my specific flash📸. Thankfully it works now.

I am new to the Digital.. I have an old Rollei Beta 3 and a grip for my old SLRS.. well this will not work with a Canon 2000d. Is there a way to use a flash pistol grip with the Canon 2000d? Or does it have to be mounted in the hot shoe? If in the hot shoe, what brands will work with the 2000d? I do not want to spend 300.00 for a flash.. thanks

My Canon 700D flash just stopped working, and it still pops up.

I have a question…can I use 2 different speedlites with my canon t7? Example…because I have a canon t7 I dont have a center pin. I'm looking for a trigger but it's hard to find one. I have a sunpak speedlight df4000u that works perfect but I also have a random speedlight which does not work if it's on my hot shoe. Will I be able to use my sunpak speedlight to connect to my random speedlight? I want to try to make it work b4 purchasing something expensive.

Thank you. This was really helpful.
I thought I’d bought a faulty Flashgun!

Can you make a quick video but with the Canon eos r. There isn’t “flash control” in settings.

i have a canon eos rebel t6i and i purchased the ESDDI speedlite and it won’t connect to my camera. everytime i go to external flash function it says this menu cannot be displayed. incompatible flash or flash power is turned off and the flash is on with fresh batteries and the flash works. i’m also in manual mode like the tutorial says. help please!

I am using Canon 700D with a Nissin Di600 but when I am on the "external flash func. settings" I can only see "ETTL" and not click on it. Then I have "first curtain sync" below. Do you know why it's not working?

I'm so sad that after I recieved my external flash it seemed that it doesn't compatible with my camera canon700d .

Thank you thank you thank you

What does it mean when it says (menu not available. Flash is off or unsupported, or an accessory is attached

Hi

I have a Conon ESO 200 DSLR, and I am looking to contact a Neewer TT560 Speedlite Flash to the Camera. I have attached the flash to the Hotshoe, and tightened it up. When I select the 'External Flash Function Setting, I am getting a message saying 'Menu not available. Flash is off or unsupported, or an accessory is attached'. I have checked this, and the flash is switched on.

Would this be a compatibility issue?

Thanks

Is this compatible with canon rebel t6? As well as wireless flashes? I have a rebel t6 and I want to buy a flash. Idk if it's compatible.

Hello ! Thank you so much for this video.

I have a question. I have a canon 6d mark ii and I connect it to my external speedlight TL 600 with a cable sync and hotshoe.
Why is it not working on live view mode ?
I'm shooting food photography so it's really not convenient to shoot through the viewfinder…

Thanks for your help !

Wow! This is very helpful. Thank you.

when i click on external flash func setting its say this menu cannot be displayed incompatible flash or flashs power is turned off
i have canon 600d and canon speedlite 430ex ii
plz help me

Hi. so i was watching the tutorial but when I go to menu, click on flash control, go to external flash fun. setting, it shows "menu not available. flash is off or unsupported, or an accessory is attached:, but my flash firing is enabled. what can I do to activate it?

Hi can you please help? I've bought a TT560 Speedlite for my Canon EOS 4000D, but it doesn't want to sync with it, in the Flash control menu it says "Menu not available. Flash is off or unsupported, or an accessory is attached.". And I've tried in in multiple modes, aswell as tested the flash, but still not working. Thank you ahead!

Thanks for the tutorial.

This option is not in my camera. For reference I have a Canon SL1. I can't seem to get an external flash to work with it. ☹️

Does YN460 works with Canon 6d in self timer ??

Do you think the Speedlite 300EZ will work with Canon 1200D?

I am also trying to set up my TT560 Speedlite flash to my Cannon 3ti. When I get to setting the External Flash func. setting get the message This message can not be displaced, Incompatible flash or flash's power is off Both the camera and the flash in manual modes. Simply no firing.

Izzy, I have a T6. I photograph in manual mode in monochrome and up to this point, I've been photographing a lot at night without a flash. I've been able to pull off some really good photos without the flash in low light situations. But now I'm thinking I need a good solid flash. I went on Amazon and did some research. I was able to find a flash with a video support and in the video was you. My question for you is a simple one because I photograph with a T6 do you think Neewer NW-670 TTL Flash Speedlite is an overkill. By the way, you have helped me in the past with the lens and thank you. Please advice. Thanks, Rod

Hello fellow camera operators. I have Canon EOS Rebel ZSI & EOS 7D Mark II. When I attach the Speedlight NW610 to hot shoot to either camera & into the flash control external flash func. setting. Both camera's tell me "This menu cannot be displayed. Incompatible flash or flash's power is turned off."

The power on the speed light is on & the speed light works without being synced to the camera. Can anyone give me any feed back as to why the speed light isn't syncing to my camera's.

Thanks & best regards

AJ Miller

What automatic flash do you recommend for the Rebel T6? Doesn't have to be Canon and cost is a factor.

Hi I have a Nikon D60 Can U tell me how to set its use with a Transmitter and speedlite. I want to use it for Intra oral photography with a macro lens Thank You

My external flash no longer syncs with my Canon Rebel xti and I can't figure out how to get it to work. The internal flash works just fine, but the 580EX II won't fire when I attach it to my camera. I have a Canon Rebel xti and the only settings under my camera menu on the first page are Quality, Red-Eye, Beep, and Shoot w/o card. I don't see any options for flash settings. Also, my external flash will turn on but it just won't register from the camera. The pilot light won't turn on, either. Interestingly enough it works with the strobe but I just can't get it to sync with my camera.. 🙁
