The Canon 580EX was Canon's top of the limit flare until it was replaced by the 580EX II in 2007. The 580EX features a scope of up to 190 feet (58 meters) at ISO 100. The brilliance is compatible with Canon digital SLRs and movie SLRs, very as some of the Powershot G-series cameras. It has 14 custom functions very as most customary light modes.
Bounce
As the beginning Canon illumination to act a 180-degree swivel, the 580EX was ideally poised to office as a bounce flare. Using a luminosity straight on at a passage ofttimes causes glare and bloodshot eye, and results in bitter shadows and lighting. This lucent can be softened by using the brilliance in a bounce funds, and combining that with the built-in catchlight. To modify the luminosity angle, press the Press-stud on the side of the brilliance at the Seam and rotate the glowing forward/backward and up/down. Provided inside, shot different angles for bouncing the light off the ceiling to receive the best light.
Multi-Strobe
The 580EX has a multi-stroboscopic feature that allows a photographer to fire the flash rapidly and capture multiple shots of a moving object into a single image. To activate this feature, push the mode button on the back of the flash until Multi is displayed. After activating multi-strobe, set the shutter speed on the camera according to the formula (Number of Flashes divided by Firing Frequency=Shutter Speed). The best way to do this is To possess one flash on the hot shoe acting as the master flash; on the back of the flash, turn the wireless slider to Master, and turn the mode to ETTL. Change the wireless on other flashes to Slave. Now when the master flash fires, it will trigger the other flashes.
Do not fire the flash in multi-strobe more than 10 times, and allow it 10 minutes to cool off after doing so.
