Canon Flash 430EX 11 to go with my Canon EOS 70D camera with an 18-135mm lens.

I purchased a Canon Flash 430EX 11 to go with my Canon EOS 70D camera with an 18-135mm lens. The flash displays the icon confirming auto zoom only intermittenly and when it doesn't, twisting the camera zoom does not display on the flash screen.  All batteries are charged and the flash is locked on to the camera.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I'm not entirely certain I understand your question.  The 430EX II has can be put in a mode where it automatically follows the camera zoom (within limits... 24mm to 105mm) but you can ALSO put it into a mode where you manually control the flash zoom.  If it's in the manual control mode then it will not automatically zoom.
It is important that the "wide" panel NOT be in-use (if you pull out and flip down the wide-panel then the flash will go to wide angle and will not zoom EVEN if it was in auto mode.)
Press the Zoom button, then use the - / + buttons to change the zoom.  
When under manual control there's a black "M" icon which will appear next the word "Zoom".  If the "M" is not present then it's in auto zoom mode.
Lastly... when you change the zoom on the camera lens, typically nothing will happen on the flash UNTIL you wake the system by doing a half-press of the shutter button.    When the camera wakes up to meter and focus... that's when it adjusts the zoom on the flash head.

    You could try using the DNG converter 8.7 on Windows vista:

  • I am unable to download my picture from my camera canon eos 70d to my computer.

      I AM UNABLE TO DOWNLOAD MY PICTURE FROM CAMERA CANON EOS 70D TO MY COMPUTER. I HAVE INSTALL THE SOFTWARE FROM CANON EOS SOLUTION DISK 28.2.

    "...The question then came up whether repeated removal/insertion of the card (in the computer and camera) might eventually wear out the contacts on the card, or worse the camera..."
    Yes, there will be wear and tear over time. It also is possible to force a card into the slot crooked and damage the socket.
    Are these much of an issue?
    In my opinion, no. I change memory cards fairly frequently (mostly Compact Flash, which are probably the most easily damaged), sometimes use 12 or 15 memory cards in a day's shoot and have been doing that shooting digitally for ten years... And have never had even one card wear out or managed to damage a card or socket myself.
    Note: I have pulled a card out too quickly, while it was still writing, and lost about 1/3 of the images on the card... Once! I also have had one "bad card" right from new, from a major manufacturer. Three other identical cards are working fine.
    I do have one older DSLR with a "bent pin" in the Compact Flash socket.... But I bought it that way for $15 in hopes of fixing it. Unfortunately I think the particular pin that got bent managed to short out some of the other electronics in the camera, so it's probably not practical to fix (makes a nice paperweight). I've seen other cameras, particularly those using Compact Flash memory, with bent pins. Some were pretty easily fixed. Others needed a new socket or more.
    Just looking at the posts on various discussion forums, I suspect it's a much more frequent issue for the USB cable or the USB socket in the camera to wear or get damaged. Plus camera batteries are only good for a certain number of charge/discharge cycles (I've heard 400X is typical, but don't really know).
    So personally I'd be more concerned about directly linking the camera with the USB cable and leaving the camera powered on while downloading.... Feel better just pulling the memory card and using a card reader.

  • Lightroom 5.4 won't tether to Canon EOS 70D

    Lightroom 5.4 won't tether to my Canon EOS 70D - Keeps flashing "no camera detected" to "Canon EOS 70D". So it must see the camera, but I can't access it. Adobe shows the 70D was supported in version 5.2. I can transfer images fine from the camera, but not tether it.

    There are people waiting for tethering support for the slightly higher-end Nikon D610 for a similar amount of time.  It’s almost as if Adobe postpones releasing tethering support until they are not busy with other things or there are enough new cameras to warrant the effort and then they catch up.  I’m sure tethering is not easy to get to work, sometimes, and there is both PC and Macs to worry about.
    Another issue, besides having to wait for the manufacturer to release their SDK which usually doesn’t happen for several months after a new camera is for sale, is that sometimes older models of cameras are dropped from support when newer models are added to the SDK, so perhaps Adobe also delays support for new cameras due to people, perhaps Adobe employees or internal beta testers, still using older ones.  Or maybe it is a simple matter of priority and the number of people affected by bugs is more than the number of people affected by not tethering a particular model of camera.

  • Photoshop Elements 9 and cannot open Raw files from my Canon EOS 1000D camera.

    I am using Photoshop Elements 9 on a Windows 7 based PC and would like to know why I cannot open Raw files produced by my Canon EOS 1000D camera.
    I have checked the version of the plug in as 6.5 for raw files which is supposed to open .cr2 files and should be compatible according to Adobe site info.
    any ideas for next move.
    Mick

    Hi,
    According to all of Adobe's charts, the Canon 1000D should be supported by the basic PSE 9 even without updates. When you said you checked the camera raw version in PSE, did you do that by going to the Help menu and selecting About plugins -> Camera raw?
    The Canon 1200D requires ACR 8.4 which is only compatible with PSE 12 - so for PSE 10 your brother would need the DNG converter.
    I can't find a sample raw file to try (I do have PSE 9). If you want to upload a sample file to dropbox and give me access, I could try it on my system.
    Have you tried opening one of your files on your brothers system?

  • Lightroom 5.2 vs. Canon EOS 70D RAW

    Hello,
    I am testing the trial version of Lightroom 5.2. My new camera is a Canon EOS 70D. When importing RAW files into Lightroom the colors of some photos are wrong. RAWs from my older 450D are fine.
    For example on one photo the sky isn't blue but turquoise. When using the DNG Converter I get the same color. The sky was blue though. When opening the file in Digital Photo Professional by Canon, the sky is blue as it should be.
    It happens on some other photos as well. Mostly if they have a high blue content. If in Lightroom I increase the blue content and decrease the shades it almost looks as it should.
    The question now is: am I doing something wrong, do I need an update or additional plugins or is Lightroom simply interpreting the RAW wrong and will it be solved soon?
    Cheers,
    Sheepy

    I managed to calibrate my monitors with a friend's hardware calibrator. The display of the photo in LR didn't change much. Still way too greenish sky.
    Now I noticed that depending on the export option in LR (sRGB, aRGB, ProPhoto) I get pretty different colors in the exported JPEG files if I view them in IrfanView. None of them looks like the original that I see in LR. Funnily I noticed when writing this post that all exported images in the browser look the same - as each other and as in LR. looking at the LR-exports in LR they look the same - greenish sky. Looking at the LR-exports in DPP they look the same - blue sky. I managed to set IrfanView to enable color management with current monitor profile. Now I get the same view in LR, Irfanview and Firefox. I guess that's a plus. Furthermore I found an option in DPP to use the monitor profile - the sky looks a litlle green but there are differences to LR still.
    LR sRGB
    LR aRGB
    LR ProPhoto
    DPP aRGB with color management
    Now that I managed to get the photos to look (almost) the same in all the applications that I use (FF, LR, IV being the most important) and having the monitors calibrated I can go back to my original question.
    How comes that the sky looks so green although it wasn't when I shot the photo? Are there any more settings that I can make to get the colors on import better? Can I simply and with good conscience move my sliders now so that the image looks the way I like it and others will see it the same way (mainly on a website)?
    Edit: Actually they only look green when writing the post. When looking at the finished post they look blue to me. Which is not what I saw in all my programs before. I am a little lost with how colors work I guess. I'd appreciate any hints.
    Edit 2: When clicking on the images in this post they have the original color.

  • Importing *.CR2 files to Lightroom 3.6 - support of Canon EOS 70D

    Hi,
    try to import *.CR2 files from my new camera Canon EOS 70D to Lightroom 3.6, but it is not supporting format. What to do? Can anyone help me. Thanks a lot for your answers, yours Petr.

    The DNG files are mainly supported by Adobe software.  The CR2 files would be for any software that knows how to deal with 70D raw files and so the right answer for you depends on whether you feel you’ll want to use the raw data in other software or not, and what you feel you want decades from now if Adobe or Canon no longer exist.  Personally, I’d just upgrade to LR 5.2 and not worry about DNGs, but I also already have compatible hardware so  am not hit by having to upgrade my OS or hardware.

  • I have a Canon EOS T2i Camera and I want to import the RAW images into Aperture.  How do I import them as RAW images instead of jpeg ?

    How do I import RAW images from my Canon EOS T2i camera into Aperture and have them show up as RAW images and not jpeg images?

    See the list of supported raw formats:
    http://www.apple.com/aperture/specs/raw.html
    The footnote ** for the cameras  EOS Rebel T2i EF-S / 550D / Kiss X4**  says, that the raw format is only supported with Aperture 3. So you will have to upgrade to Aperture 3, to be able to import the raw from from your camera.

  • How open raw from canon eos 70D in elements 11

    I cannot open raw from canon eos 70D in photoshop elements 11. Help me please.

    Your PSE is too old—the camera was released after a newer version of software was available and Adobe only adds new camera support to the newest version of software.
    Specifically, the 7D Mark II needs ACR 8.7 and PSE12 can only be updated to ACR 8.5.
    Your choices are to:
    Use the DNG Converter 8.7 or newer to create DNGs from the CR2s and those DNGs will open in the older version of ACR that comes with PSE12, OR
    Buy the newer version of Element 13 that can be updated to a new enough Adobe Camera Raw plugin.
    The DNG Converter is available from the Adobe Updates page:
    http://www.adobe.com/downloads/updates
    And the newer version of Elements is available from the Adobe Products page:
    http://www.adobe.com/products/catalog/software.html
    Another option would be to use Lightroom 5.7 or newer and use Edit in Photoshop Elements from LR once most of your raw adjustments are done, for any final touches in Elements. 
    For any of these choices you’d want to download the latest updates and run the software in trial mode to make sure your computer is compatible before paying anything.
    BTW, I have the 7D Mark II and like it very much, having upgraded from an older Digital Rebel, but I’m not that thrilled with the in-camera JPG processing so always use Adobe products for raw development.

    not reading raw's from 70D

    so, now after following the linked instructions...
    1. I'v installed  ACR 8.4 and it's opening the RAW files from 70D, but in camera profile I have "matrix"
    in case with 60D RAWs ther was portrait, landscape, etc...
    2. The step wit installing the DNG converter I download the DNG converter 7.4, 8.1, 8.2, 8.3. - the reason is to add in the system camera profile that I want
    every one of them do not install - just nothing happen after doubleclick (!?)
    only one that  install and run it's 7.1 which dont support 70D RAW files....
    it's amazing how to put all this to work propertly
    any ideas?

  • Downloading images from Canon EOS 7D camera results in corrupted images.

    Hi,
    I'm struggling to download images from my Canon EOS 7D camera. The images appear corrupted on my hard drive. This does not happen consistently. Some images get corrupted, but could appear properly when trying a second time. The errors occur in EOS Utility or in iPhoto: same (bad) result. I tried to repeat downloading on a Windows machine (separate) and in a Ubuntu environment (Virtual Machine on my mac). In both cases, I had no problem. Canon states that the problem resides in my iMac. The dealer of my camera mentioned that if they see those problems, it usually relates to bad connections or a poor USB cable. I also tried several USB ports and cables, but could not resolve the problem that way. Any suggestions?
    Thanks.

    I've had this issue a few times and found it falls in to a few buckets, just a few things to consider if the images show up fine in the camera but not when you copy them out.
    1) The format (version of RAW in my case I was using with Aperture
    2) The reader
    3) The drive
    4) The connection
    Format: when I first got the 7d I wanted to use the RAW.2 version. The .CR2 file format (Canon RAW version 2) is a digital photography RAW format created by Canon. "RAW" here means that this file stores information directly coming from the sensor, almost without processing. This file would show up corrupt every time i tried to open in in Aperture, or IPhoto on my Power-Mac
    G5. I could only open it up in the supplied Canon software After some poking around I found out that I had to upgrade to Aperture3 to get the new supported RAW formats. Since I can't buy a new mack I changed the version of RAW I used.
    Once I changed from using that RAW format it was fine. There are times Aperture will say that the file is corrupt but
    when I restart the application it is fine I think there are some memory issues when it does this and I have to reboot the application over time.
    The READER:I used to use a USB reader which was fine for the 10D but with the 7D and the 5D the files are much larger in RAW from 10 megs on the 10D to 25 megs or more on the 7D/5DMk2. After shooting 500 - 1000 shots in a night I'd have to download overnight in order to get everything. Some times the file would be corrupted coming over. If I pulled the file off later one by one or in smaller groups it would be fine. I have since upgraded to a Firwire 800 cards reader. Hours becomes 10 minutes for a 16Gig fill loaded card. not 8-10 hours.
    The Drive: I've seen every files copy except 1, if I am able to hook up another drive and it works I run DiskWarrior, TechTool or SoftRAID. Usually thy confirm a bad sector in the drive. I'll back up the drive with time machine or a disk dupe software and then format the drive it it's part of a RAID I replace the drive entirely from the chain.
    The connection: bad cables have also been a culprit but not often with firewire.

  • Aperture 3, Canon EOS 70D  , 2 camera.

    Hi,
    I am completely newbie to Aperture..
    The setup I am looking for is
    1) Aperture 3
    2) two units of Canon EOS 70D
    3) One MacbookPro
    Can I trigger and contol both the EOS 70D using one macbookpro using Aperture 3?  like, 2 simultaneous live view, two capture together etc?
    My primary purpose is to use it for Book scanning machine.. any help / advise highly appreciated.
    Regards,
    Divakar

    You're asking about tethered shooting right? If so then you can't do what you described with Aperture.
    First you can only conect one camera and second Aperture's tethered shooting does not provide a live view. You shoot with the camera and the image is imported into Aperture.
    regards

  • I have lightroom 4.4 and it does not support Canon EOS 70D what to do?

    I have lightroom 4.4 and it does not support Canon EOS 70D raw files. What do I do?

    Several choices
    Download the free Adobe DNG Converter version 8.5 and convert your RAWs to DNG and import those into Lightroom
    Use the software that came with the camera to convert the RAWs into TIF and import those into Lightroom
    Purchase the upgrade to Lightroom 5
