Speedlite 430EX and canon 7D wireless

I try my speedlite 430EX wirelessly using my Canon 7D to go off through the flash menu. Now that all works but when I make a picture in the mirror I see the internal flash on the picture. Is it not true that the internal flash to go off a little earlier.

I have seen similar myself with other master flashes set not to fire as part of the exposure.
My take is that as the master flash (pop-up on your 7D) needs to send the pulses of light to the slave flashes then it is still emitting a low level of light due to the tail-off effect. It had to send the "fire now all you slaves" command right before the shutter opened, or even as the shutter opened. Hence it shows up in a mirror, but actually it's usually of such a low level that it won't impact the picture.

  • Canon MX340 wireless printer no longer connecting over wireless and coming up with "a communications error has occured"

    I have a Canon MX340 wireless printer and have only recently started having trouble printing over the wireless connection. No settings have changed on my MacBook Pro, the printer, the router or the wifi connection and it is strange how it has just stopped working. I have tried things like restarting the laptop and removing the printer from the laptop and re-adding it. It sometimes seems to work for maybe one print but then it goes back to saying "a communications error has occured", when I try to print again.
    Any help would be great. Thanks

    I had the same MX340 problem.  My printer was working fine over WiFi connection to my Airport Extreme for years and then suddenly, about a month ago, it stopped printing after the first print job.  I can print once and then I have to power-cycle the printer to get it to print another time and then I have to repeat the power-cycle.
    The printer seems to be "forgotten" by the network or lose its connection after the first print job.
    On my MacBookPro 10.6.8 I get the error code 300...yadayadayad... On my iMac 10.5.8 it just says :communications error".
    HERE IS THE FIX - I got it off this link - http://www.techsurvivors.net/forums/index.php?showtopic=24681
    You have to connect to the MX340 using the printer cable that came with the printer (or any USB printer cable) and set up a hardwired USB printer queue.  Then print a couple of print jobs - I use TextEdit and type in "1234".  Then try the same thing but select your WiFi print queue - I just type another line on the same sheet of paper with TextEdit.
    The WiFi connection should work again.  I did this a few more times and then disconnected the USB cable and now it continues to work without the USB print queue being used.  I can also print to the WiFi queue with my iMac.
    If you still have problems I suggest you set up the printer again on the WiFi router using the "print cable connection" method.  Here's a link to a webpage someone kindly provided instructions for the process:

  • Airport Express and Canon Pixma IP4500 wireless printing

    Hello,
    I bought an Airport Express and set it up as an additional wireless network at an 5Ghz N mode. It's conneted to a Linksys Wireless router modem/router. Internet connectivity is fine from both iMac 24 and MacBook. Both use OSX 10.5.4.x
    Airport is set up via USB with a Canon Pixma IP4500 inkjet. When connected directly to the iMac, it prints fine. When I connect the IP4500 to the Airport Express, I get an Error 300 - basically saying the printer is not responding.
    The whole point of the Airport Express was a faster network for both wireless printing and playing iTunes wirelessly from the MacBook.
    Any tips on what could be a common problem for this printer?
    Thanks

    I had a similar problem
    I had to "add a new printer", so one printer refers to the directly connected printer and the other refers to the printer connected to the airport (bonjour).
    Greetings.

  • Which Speedlite for my Canon 600d I am new to Photography

    Which Speedlite for my Canon 600d
    I am new to Photography
    I am choosing between
    a) Bower SDF680C Digital Flash for Canon SLR Cameras, Guide Number 139
    http://www.adorama.com/BOWSFD680C.html
    or
    b) Bower SFD926C Dedicated Digital Flash for Canon SLR Cameras, Guide Number 125
    http://www.adorama.com/BOWSFD926C.html
    I want a Wireless Speedlite,
    btw how does these Speedlites do the Wireless Connection with the 600d if they can ?
    Does both use Slave Function, does both have Wireless Channel Selection.
    Does My camera the 600d have Wireless Channel Selection by Radio Signal I know my camera has Slave Function Pls Help pls

    1) My Canon 600d has a Slave Function and it does Not have any Radio signal or Infrared Wireless Connection between an External Speedlite ?
    Correct, though I'm not sure it's called a slave function?  The 600D can use it's flash to trigger speedlights that are off camera, and set in slave mode.  But it has no Radio or IR signal.
    The IR is something that is on speedlights.  As mentioned above, it's really just red light.  But it's used for focus, not for triggering flashes.
    2) is the E-TTL just like the Operating system or Firmware of the 600D Flash System ?
    TTL is an automated flash function, and it will be a function on a speedlight, not a camera (though you're cameras flash does have eTTL).  It lets the flash/camera decide how much flash power it needs.  In a nutshell, it fires a flash before opening the shutter so it can measure how much light it needs, then fires a second time with the shutter open to expose the scene.  It all happens very fast, you can barely see it.
    Flashes will either come in manual only, or offer TTL in addition to manual.  Manual is just that, you choose the power level, and it fires during your shot.
    eTTL is Canon's version of TTL.
    3) Does the 600d have a Wireless E-TTL or something like that ?
    As mentioned above, the 600D can use its on-camera flash to trigger other flashes, and yes, it can do it in eTTL. 
    The down side to this is that the flashes have to be in the line of sight of the camera's flash (more or less).  [And it uses up your camera battery for the flash]  When you want to place flashes in modifiers or behind people, or screens or in a completely different room, it doesn't work so well.  So people use Radio Frequency transmitters to trigger the flashes.  It used to be an expensive thing to have, but now it can be done quite cheap, and quite reliable.
    So the Only option I have for my 600d wireless connection to a Flash is
    a) Slave Function.
    b) I buy a Wireless Transmitter and receiver
     Pretty much.  You could also get a long cord to get it off camera, but it's really not a great option.

  • Can't connect Canon MP560 wirelessly using Airport Extreme with MacBook Pro

    My Canon MP560 is failing to connect to the access point.  It recognizes the access point/network I would like to connect to but when I enter in my password it fails to connect and tells me to check access point settings.  I used this exact same printer but different router in my old house and everything worked well!  I'm thinking this is a Mac thing that I can't seem to figure out.  I have the lastest Canon driver updates for Mac and use 10.6.8 software on my Macbook Pro.
    This is how the printer instructs me on the panel.
    a. Select Wireless LAN setup
    b. Select Easy Settings
    c. Select Access Point
    d. Enter Password
    e. Fails to connect..........
    Please help.
    Brice.

    Hi Tesserax,
    i have the same issue as mountie30 with the MP560 but it's not working
    i have a airport express.
    i was following your instructions:
    ''To get to this feature within the AirPort Utility, go to the utility's menu bar and first choose Base Station, and then, Add Wireless Clients...''
    the problem is, base station is in light gray and i can't click on it.
    i re-plugged my printer into my imac so it detects it again. (it still says printer offline in settings)
    i have no clue what to do.
    please help
    thanks

  • Print via Airprint with iPad 3 and Canon MG5350

    Hi,
    I have a very common problem but none of the so far provided answers were suitable to help me. I use a new Canon MG5350 printer with WLAN and Airprint. The firmware has been updated to version 2 and nevertheless I cannot print via Airprint from my iPad 3 WiFi. My iPhone 4 finds the Canon printer without problems but the iPad keeps saying "No Airprint printers found".
    Who can help? As I said, I have updated the printer's firmware.
    Cheers
    Frank

    Hi Frank, I too have an MG5350 and ipad3 over wireless LAN. Printer is ace when used from my PC and laptop but got the same as you did trying to print from ipad. Tried Canon UK support but useless would be a compliment. Apple support in Cork suggested going to ipad settings, switch to airplane mode which stops wifi and then switch back again, wifi reconnnects and when I try and print, it finds the MG5350 and prints! Only one problem, leave it and come back after half hour and its back to "no airprint printers found" Doing the wifi on /off trick works everytime but have no answer as to why it is dropping it but still searching.
    Hope this helps a bit.

  • Snow Leopard and Canon MX860 ... More help please!

    I've followed various threads concerning Snow Leopard and its incompatibility with the Canon MX860 printer/scanner. I have now downloaded the latest printer driver from Canon and the printer functions seem to work normally now on my wireless network.
    I have some connectivity with the scanner, but the only way I can get it to scan is by going through System Preferences - if I try going via the "Canon Solution Menu" I get the error message "Cannot communicate with the scanner". Also, on the MX860's display panel the only option shown is the USB connection - it doesn't offer any PCs so, I guess, it's not finding my wireless network, even though the printer part of the machine is.
    Does anyone have a solution to this problem? Thanks.

    Hi,
    I am running Mac OS X Leopard version 10.5.7 on a MacBook3,1 with a wireless network using an AirPort Extreme. I was able to print wirelessly to my new Canon Pixma MX860, but my Macbook was unable to communicate with the MX860 scanner. Interestingly, though, the MX860 scanner could communicate just fine the other way with my Macbook because I was able to manually scan from the MX860 console and have scans wirelessly sent as PDFs to my Macbook.
    Here's what I did to scan wirelessly to the MX860.
    I used Easy Install from the accompanying Canon Pixma MX860 Setup CD-Rom disk *version U1.4* (purchased the MX860 on March 22, 2010) and followed all of the setup instructions in the Getting Started for Mac manual. In my case, I have a wireless LAN network with one access point, the Airport Extreme, but I would follow the instructions that are appropriate for your setup.
    I went to the Canon MX860 driver page http://www.usa.canon.com/consumer/controller?act=ModelInfoAct&tabact=DownloadDet ailTabAct&fcategoryid=334&modelid=18121 and selected the MAC OS system files from the drop-down menu.
    I downloaded:
    _*MX860 series Scanner Driver Ver. 14.11.1*_ (Mac OS X 10.3/10.4/10.5/10.6)
    mx860sosxsd14111ea8-2.dmg
    (I didn't remember this file from the Easy Install, and I was unable to select this from the Navigator EX Scan menu, so I figured there was something wrong with it)
    _*MP Navigator EX Ver. 2.1.2*_ (Mac OS X 10.2/10.3/10.4/10.5/10.6)
    mpnexosx212ea8-2.dmg
    (The version that came with the CD-Rom was an older version, 2.1.0, I think)
    I installed both the Scanner Driver and the updated MP Navigator EX. The computer restarted after installing each program, so there were two restarts.
    I opened the Solution Menu from the dock, chose Scan/Import Photos or Documents from the menu, and the Solution Menu opened MP Navigator EX (now version 2.1.2). From the MP Navigator Ex menu, I chose Scan/Import Photos/Documents (Platen), selected the Document Type, and voila, perfect wireless platen scans. When I checked the "Use the Scanner Driver" box, the Scanner Driver brought up more detailed scanning options. I was also able to scan a stack of documents using the ADF.
    I know that this is a Snow Leopard thread, but I came across this thread when I did a search on exactly the same problem, so I wanted to post my solution in case it helps others. I think that the solution to your problem should be similar. If the two downloads specifically mentioned above do not help, perhaps try downloading and installing all of the other most up-to-date drivers/software on the Canon 860 page until something works.

  • I have working Netgear network. Want to add new Time Capsule and run 2nd network for new apple TV and Imac, and keep the netgear network for my PC and Canon printer.

    I have working Netgear N600 dual band router network. The existing network has an XP netbook PC, canon printer, 2 Iphones, Epson Air printer, an Ipad, 3 roku boxes, backup drive. Just bought a new Apple TV box, and time capsule 2T.  I have an IMac on order but don't have it here yet.
    My goal is to add new Time Capsule and create 2nd "apple" network for new apple TV, Iphones, Ipad, Epson Air printer and new Imac, and keep the netgear network for my PC, Roku TV boxes, and Canon printer and backup drive.
    The Netgear router, the time capsule and new IMac will be on the same desktop, I dont need to backup my netbook PC to time capsule.
    Where do I start?
    Which device connects to my modem first, the TC2 or the Netgear?
    Is it best wait for the Imac before starting or can the TC2 be set up from my Ipad or PC?
    Thanks.

    It is pretty simple..
    Setup the TC in bridge and plug it into the Netgear.. I would leave the netgear as the main router for now, although in the future you can swap things around. The netgear firmware may have issues with bonjour and airplay/airprint?? Does your ipad print ok now?
    You can setup the TC using Mac, PC (at least up to win7) or iOS.. they all have airport utility available.
    Bridge mode is set differently depending on the version of the utility. This is v5 and how the windows one will look (at least similar to).
    v6 will be as
    With the TC in bridge you will still create a wireless network.. and give it a different name from the netgear.. then all the apple devices can connect to it. Use ethernet rather than wireless if the imac is on the desktop with it. Much faster and better for using Time Machine backups.
    If you run into any issues.. just post the particular issue. It will take a bit of getting used to, but isn't hard.

  • Airport Extreme and Canon Pixma MP610

    I recently got a MacBook Pro. I wanted to print wirelessly so I also purchased a new Airport Extreme and Canon Pixma MP610 printer all from the Apple Store. I told the salesperson what I wanted to do and he did not indicate there would be a problem, he said make sure I had the most current printer drivers, which I have done. I tried everything but I am unable to print wirelessly using the USB connection between the Airport and the printer. Can anyone help me? Is this printer compatible with the Airport? This is very frustrating and expensive. I could have just kept my old base station and printer.

    I am having the same problem with my MP610... I have connected the printer to the usb port on the AirPort Express and have tried installing various drivers to try and fix the issue but have had no success so far.
    My Airport Express is setup correctly (green light) and is found in AirPort Utility... additionally, when I go to System Preferences -> Print & Fax, the printer is there and found wirelessly... yet whenever I try to print I receive a "error number : 306..." in my print queue... also, depending on which driver I use, I receive a "Unable to send 1 bytes of print data! (USB write error)" error message on top of the "error number : 306"... sometimes I also manage to avoid any error messages where the status shows it is 'Printing' but there is nothing being printed...
    Now, obviously this is a wireless issue, as the printer works when connected via usb directly to my MacBook Pro...
    I contacted Canon Support, and was told that I would not be able to print via any AirPort connection as the printer itself is a "Host Based Printer" and was not designed to support networking and that my only other alternative/option to wireless printing would be to purchase a "USB printer server" that supports IP Address forwarding... (on a side note: does the AirPort Express not support this?)
    The whole reason why I purchased AirPort Express was so I could print wirelessly from a regular printer by connecting it to its usb port... and looking at the Airport support page on Apple's website, it clearly doesn't mention anywhere that the printer needs to be network capable or that there would be any compatibility issues with regular printers... After-all, it revolves around the idea that all you need to do is connect the printer to the AirPort via USB and that it will take care of the rest when setup correctly...
    So ultimately my question is, has anyone had any success in setting up a wireless connection with their 'Host Based Printer'/ordinary usb printer...? if so, how?!! please describe in detail :P lol
    Also is that doesn't work, is there any way I can use the AirPort Express to wirelessly print using an IP Address without having to buy a 'USB print server'?
    Sorry about the very long description... any help would be really appreciated!

  • HT4356 app for canon mx870 wireless printer to convert to air printer

    Is there an app to enable a Canon MX870 Wireless Printer to be used as an Airprinter for IPad2

    Val85-
    I suggest you look for a Canon App at the iTunes App store.  It will have limitations, but should get you printing.
    There are other printing Apps with more features such as Print n Share or PrintCentral, but they can only be accessed from within other Apps that have the "Open In" option.  These include their own mail, browser, photo and text programs.  In other words, they do not provide true AirPrint capability.
    Depending on your situation, a better option may be to run a program on your computer that will share its printer as AirPrint over WiFi.  Programs such as Printopia and FingerPrint can do that, and are reported to work well.  Your computer must be on and awake any time you want to print.  <Printopia for Macintosh> <FingerPrint for PC and Mac>

    You can only add songs to your iOS device from iTunes via Wi-Fi sync or via your cable, not Bluetooth.

    Hi There,
    I appear to be having the same issue. I have been using my provided time warner router and wifi with all of my Apple devices without an issue until recently. It appears that my macbook pro and twc router will not initiate the "handshake". I get a wrong password was entered or network error message. I contacted twc and they reset my router and renamed it along with a new password. This initially fixed the issue for maybe a day or so. Then the problem began all over again. I have been through he ringer, reinstalled osx, deleted plist...etc contacted apple care and twc. At this point both parties have been no help what so ever... So I connected a new western digital wifi router and all of a sudden I'm getting amazing speed and connectivity. I'm still puzzled as to why all of a sudden my macbook pro or Internet would just quit working... If anyone has any suggestions I'm all ears and any help would be great.

  • New to Apple and Time Capsule Wireless

    I am a new apple customer.  I just bought my 1st iMac and I am trying to make the total break from MS.
    I have mediacom as my ISP and my present wireless router is a Linksys WRT600n (purchased about 3 years ago).  With this system I have had problems with coverage in my house as well as needing to reboot the device often.
    The router is located in a 1st floor bedroom and I get spotty coverage in the living room and even more spotty service in the adjacent kitchen.  The distances away from the router as the crow flies is 24 feet for the living room (involves 4 interior walls) plus 15 more feet (an another wall) to the kitchen.  Since we use our wireless system more in our living room and our bedroom (this is only 12 feet away and 1 interior wall), I have decided to move the wireless router to the living room and place it on top of a entertainment center.  My thinking is that it will provide better coverage to the areas where we use it (hoping to use Apple TV in both living room and bedroom).
    This leads me to my question: what has been the experience of the time capsule community in regards to time capsule wireless coverage and reliability?
    Also, please note that the iMac will be located in the same bedroom where I will be removing the current router and as such, the wireless backup capabilities of the time capsule will need to traverse the same 24 feet and 4 interior walls.
    Any feedback will be most appreciated.
    Harvey49

    The reliability of the Apple Extreme is very good.. TC much less good. 3years is often a failure point for stuff that runs too hot. Like your WRT600N and the TC with its Green Drive and internal power supply.
    On wireless range though I would say pretty ordinary. I have tested all the generations of the TC and most of the Extreme.. including Gen5. In my double storey house with an old G wireless modem router (downstairs extreme end).. right near the TC/AE whichever I am running.. from the other end of the house (upstairs) the old G wireless gives more than adequate signal to get full speed internet.. the TC does not.. And 5ghz goes pretty much to the next room and then disappears but that is as expected.
    Use the tests here to find what give good range.

    Airport extreme is there. Well down but there.

  • X301 and Vodafone and AT&T Wireless WAN (HSPA) Driver for Windows 7 (32-bit, 64-bit)

    Ok, I (Lenovo) did it again.
    System Update showed me this update: "Vodafone and AT&T Wireless WAN (HSPA) Driver for Windows 7 (32-bit, 64-bit)".
    As I'm using Vodafone and I had a AT&T driver, I decided to update.
    The result is, that now the GPS doesn't work.
    Yes, I'm in a place where the GPS signal is present (my house, with the previous driver I was able to get 6/7 satellites).
    What happens? Lenovo TV GPS stays there trying to fix the satellites, but nothing happens. I can't recover the system to a previous state, as I updated Flash player too, and Windows only show me the possibility to roll back this update.
    So, apart advicing everyone not to update, I kindky ask:
    - where can I found the previous driver? I searched the web without success...
    - why does Lenovo deploy driver which can cause problems (I just had one updating the BT driver last week! .msi installer problem, error 1935...)?
    Thanks to everyone

    Ok, I found in the Net the drive 7uw706ww.zip, which is Version 6.1.4.2, while the updated version is 6.1.10.5 (7UW708WW).
    I tried again the GPS, and it wasn't working.
    Anyway, before downgrading, I tried to reinstall the new driver, downloading and installing the .exe instead going through System Update.
    Result: now GPS is working (same place, same conditions, just 5 minutes later)!
    Don't know where the difference is...
