pjmeade Posted June 12, 2007 Share Posted June 12, 2007 Hello, I've just picked up a 580EX ii from fleabay. It turned out to a Japanese market model with the Japanese instruction manual. Can someone direct me to a (free) download of the manual in English please? Many thanks. Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hjoseph7 Posted June 12, 2007 Share Posted June 12, 2007 The Canon site shows NO download Manuals available for this product http://www.usa.canon.com/consumer/controller?act=ModelInfoAct&fcategoryid=141&modelid=14998 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ci_p Posted June 12, 2007 Share Posted June 12, 2007 I also tried looking for one but couldn't find one. Try learning katakana, and looking at the pictures and you might figure some stuff out;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ian riches Posted June 13, 2007 Share Posted June 13, 2007 Try clicking <a href="http://www.eosdoc.com/manuals/?q=580EX*">here</a> which should start downloading the manual from www.eosdoc.com in .pdf format. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colinsouthern Posted June 16, 2007 Share Posted June 16, 2007 The link refers to the manual for the 580EX, not the 580EX II :( I often wonder why Canon don't do us all a favour and make these things available - surely if must already exist in an electronic format (written that way) - and it's not like it contains anything they'd like to secret (I'm sure the opposition were the first to buy a copy of the new unit, complete with manual) - so why wouldn't they make it available? On that note, I own both versions of the flash - and they are - for the most part - pretty much the same. Biggest difference being the external metering and the fact that the OFF-MASTER-SLAVE switch has been replaced by a software selection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm thinking of buying a 580 this week (not sure whether MkI or MkII) and would like to make as informed a decision as possible. I've been reading a few posts from people having trouble with their 580MkIIs (e-TTL not working, etc etc). <p>Cheers, <br>Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markonestudios Posted August 14, 2007 Share Posted August 14, 2007 Please disregard previous message. I've just read a detailed review of the 580EX II, plus I ordered one yesterday, so now I guess I can find our firsthand ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
