Understanding the Canon Speedlite 580EX / 430EX Reviews
Customer Rating:Summary: Gets you going!
Comment: This gives good info on using your flash and more on manual. To really achieve a great shot, get the Canon cable and 'remove' your flash from on the camera. Just shooting on camera, you will get snapshot pics. To utilize this info, get the cable and watch your shots change! I hold both the camera and flash when I am not in the studio. I get wonderful results that don't look like a snapshot.
