40D: AF assist on, flash off

[yakim_peled1]

Hi folks,

 

I wonder how you can customize the 40D to do that. In the 30D you set CF5 to 2

and CF7 to 2 and be done with that. In the 40D you set CF III 5 to 2 but what

else?

 

Please note that I am taking about an external flash, 580EX in my case.

 

TIA.

 

Happy shooting,

Yakim.

Hi Yakim,

 

1. you go to the main menu

2. choose the middle (2nd) yellow icon

3. the last menu item is "Flash Control"

4. the first item is " Flash Firing" with 2 options: "Enable/Disable"

 

I preferred flash settings being under the CFs (like in 10d, my previous camera) but hey, altogether 40d is an awesome piece of equipment....isn't it ?

Naughty Canon, naughty. It's not nice to confuse people like that. Where would I be without PN and all these nice people? :-)

 

Thank you Istvan.

 

Happy shooting,

Yakim.
