Hi Pete/Marlene,

Thanks,

Hi,
I just got my 580EX yesterday... my first external flash unit and I've already
run into my first problem. I went over both the 10D and the 580EX manuals but
didn't find any 'cure'.
The problem is that the red AF assist grid pattern that the flash projects in
low light/low contrast to help in auto focus seems to work fine in all the auto
modes. However in the manual modes (Tv, Av, M, A-DEP), the AF assist just
doesn't seem to work and the lens continually hunts. I've tried as many
combinations of the Custom Functions both on the flash (C. Fn. 12 - AF assist
on/off) and on the 10D (C. Fn. 05 - AF-assist beam, Flash firing). The flash
fires fine in both modes, but the AF-assist consistently does NOT fire in the
manual modes.
The first obvious answer is that I'm doing something wrong. I'll take the camera
and flash to a nearby Wolf camera and try a different 580EX on the camera to
check if it works and if I can eliminate either the 10D or the 580EX from the
equation.
Thanks,
Ananda
