<p>Good points all, I hadn't realized that it was such an open ended question. She is looking for something that will fit in her purse which eliminates my 7D, 1D and a Canon Rebel. By "easy" she want's something that with an AUTO setting she can capture great photos but still have the option of shooting with manual or variations of manual mode. <br /><br />I was reading up on the Olympus Pen F and it appears to be an excellent camera. Again thank you all for your ideas and advice.</p>

<p>I am looking for advice on an "easy" camera for my wife. I shoot Canon 1D Mark IV and a 7D and have plenty of lenses. My wife wants to start shooting but has found my equipment to be too heavy and hard to operate. I was looking for a high quality camera that is not too cumbersome and easy to learn and use. Any help would be appreciated, thank you</p>

<p>Hello,<br>

When I turn on my Canon 580 EXII the power light flashes continuously. The LED comes up with TTL but no buttons will work. Has anyone else had this problem and what could a possible solution be? Thank you</p>

<p>Hm, I didn't see how to do that Nadine, and I hate to keep bugging you. I can't thank you enough for all you've already done. <br>

Is that something in the Custom Settings? I'd like to set it up the way you described. Thank you so much.</p>

<p>Thank you both problems solved! You all ROCK!</p>

<p>Thank you for responding Mark and Nadine,</p>

<p>I do have the necessary cable. I was unable to find anything in the 580 EXII manual to configure the external flash. The Custom Functions are vague and there was nothing about "External Battery Pack" on the custom settings page #27 of the manual. <br>

I followed the directions on the link you provided Nadine. That should solve the problems.</p>

<p>Thank you both very much for your help. Glenn</p>

<p>Hello, I my wife bought me a Quantum Turbo external battery pack for my Canon 580 EXII but I can't seem to figure out how to configure my 580 EXII to use the battery pack. Any help would be greatly appreciated! </p>

<p>Thanks in advance. Glenn</p>
