(Sorry for the spam-like title, but I couldn't resist :o) Just a short anecdote to share... The other weekend I was taking some outdoor macro images lighted with flash. I started using one 550EX off-camera controlled with a ST-E2 on a 10D. At a certain moment I introduced a second 550EX (to use as backlight) and I enabled the ratio control on the ST-E2. Next shot... no flash... again.. nopes. Took one 550 as master and the wireless comm was working OK. Changed batteries on the ST-E2... nada. Gave up.
A while after (already indoors) I took the pieces out of the bag again and then I saw the problem... by mistake I changed the channel on the ST-E2 and I didn't notice while outdoors because the backlight of the panel is barely visible under sunlight (it was a bright, overcast day.. will sound familiar to my UK-based friends :-) ). I normally ignore the channel as it's a feature I never use... but next time I'll know! :-) (Luckly it didn't happen during an important event.) -regards, Gerard. * **** ******* *********************************************************** * For list instructions, including unsubscribe, see: * http://www.a1.nl/phomepag/markerink/eos_list.htm ***********************************************************
