Which flash for my 6D?

I just bought a EOS 6D and I want to get a flash. I've been a bit out of touch with photography for many years and I finally decided on a camera. Now I need some help with which flash to get. Any recommendations for my camera? I'm not a professional photographer - I am getting back into doing artwork. So I don't need to buy the best of the best, but I do think I should get a Canon Speedlite. I think I would mainly use the flash for indoor shots, portraits, shots of my friends, maybe some action shots of volleyball in darker gyms. But I'm not a big fan of images made with flash. I do recall bouncing the flash off of the ceiling in the past to get a better light/image quality, so I would probably take the same approach. Which flash would be a decent purchase? Just for reference, my last camera was a Canon A-1, which I bought back in 1984... : )

Hard to beat the Canon 430ex for $259 right now. If you are not going to get too terribly serious it would be an ideal choice. The new 600 is over twice as much and requires extra equipment to bring out its wireless features.

Why do so many people say "fer-tographer"? Do they take "fertographs"?

    The latest Kindle Fire HD is not officially supported by Flash Player.  Please see this page for a list of all certified devices:

  • Which app can i download to run flash for yahoo.7 videos

    which app can i download to run flash for yahoo.7 videos

    Flash is not supported on the iPad - and as Adobe have announced that they are stopping development on all mobile versions of it, it probably never will be.
    Browser apps such as Skyfire, iSwifter, Puffin and Photon 'work' on some sites, but judging by their reviews not all sites.

    It would have been a great help to know precisely what Mac you have, so some of the following may not apply:
    You can check here:  http://www.adobe.com/products/flash/about/  to see which version you should install for your Mac and OS. Note that version 10,1,102,64 is the last version available to PPC Mac users*. The latest version,10.3.183.23 or later, is for Intel Macs only running Tiger or Leopard, as Adobe no longer support the PPC platform. Version 11.4.402.265 or later is for Snow Leopard onwards.
    (If you are running Mavericks: After years of fighting malware and exploits facilitated through Adobe's Flash Player, the company is taking advantage of Apple's new App Sandbox feature to restrict malicious code from running outside of Safari in OS X Mavericks.)
    * Unhelpfully, if you want the last version for PPC (G4 or G5) Macs, you need to go here:  http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/142/tn_14266.html  and scroll down to 'Archived Versions/Older Archives'. Flash Player 10.1.102.64 is the one you download. More information here:  http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/838/cpsid_83808.html
    You should first uninstall any previous version of Flash Player, using the uninstaller from here (make sure you use the correct one!):
    http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/909/cpsid_90906.html
    and also that you follow the instructions closely, such as closing ALL applications (including Safari) first before installing. You must also carry out a permission repair after installing anything from Adobe.
    After installing, reboot your Mac and relaunch Safari, then in Safari Preferences/Security enable ‘Allow Plugins’. If you are running 10.6.8 or later:
    When you have installed the latest version of Flash, relaunch Safari and test.
    If you're getting a "blocked plug-in" error, then in System Preferences… ▹ Flash Player ▹ Advanced
    click Check Now. Quit and relaunch your browser.
    You can also try these illustrated instructions from C F McBlob to perform a full "clean install", which will resolve the "Blocked Plug-in" message when trying to update via the GUI updater from Adobe.
    Use the FULL installer for 12.0.0.44:  Flash Player 12 (Mac OS X)
    And the instructons are here: Snow Leopard Clean Install.pdf
    (If you are running a PPC Mac with Flash Player 10.1.102.64 and are having problems with watching videos on FaceBook or other sites, try the following solution which fools the site into thinking that you are running the version 11.5.502.55:)
    Download this http://scriptogr.am/nordkril/post/adobe-flash-11.5-for-powerpc to your desktop, unzip it, and replace the current Flash Player plug-in which is in your main/Library/Internet Plug-Ins folder, (not the user Library). Save the old one just in case this one doesn't work.

  • I have an Airport Express, which flashes amber, but when I go to manual set up, it says there's an error and tells me to close configuration?

    I have an Airport Express, which flashes amber, but when I go to manual set up, it says there's an error and tells me to close configuration? Once I complete that, the same thing occurs, and there's another error message?

    Is this a new AirPort Express, or one that you have had for some time that has now developed problems?
    What function do you want the Express to perform on your network?

  • 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.

  • Which Flash Player

    My company purchased a Flash-based e-learning development
    tool. It comes with many compiled SWF templates. There are no FLA
    files to work with. I'm getting inconsistent behaviors and think
    that the SWF may have been compiled for early, or possibly various,
    Flash Player versions.
    Is there a tool or a method that will report which Flash
    Player a SWF was compiled for?
    I'm sure I can devise a test. I discovered the issue when
    some SWFs wouldn't work with the FlashVars parameter and others
    would. There's hundreds of templates, so I'm looking for a fast
    approach first, before I develop a more laborious approach.

    Found it.
    Got a demo version of a Flash Decompiler. It includes a Movie
    Info feature that reports the version of Flash Player the SWF was
    compiled for. I did not and will not decompile the SWFs. That would
    be wrong. I just needed the info.

  • What version of flash for kindle fire hd

    I am trying to download flash for my kindle fire he. there are several versions to choose from, which one for my kindle?

    Adobe Flash does not work  the Kindle Fire HD or any Android v4+ devices.  Amazon blames it on Adobe and Adobe blames it on uncertified devices (
    http://blogs.adobe.com/flashplayer/2012/06/flash-player-and-android-update.html).  There are lots of comments and instructions for sideloads of previous browser versions in the cyber universe.  But, alas,  loyal users of flash and amazon just get left out in the cold.

  • Which flash player to export to is best in compatibility.

    I develop these site in PHP BB BMW Dubai and Porsche Dubai but failed to rotate images in top banner. After lot of dissapointment,  i recently converted that baner with 6 small pictures than 2 big  pictures (previously).
    Now im thinking of changing or  rotating those 6 pictures in flash. So my question is which flash player  is the bestest to export to, i mean level fl5,6,7,8. I dont wanna  export at most recent as it might bug users to upgrade their old flash  player, when they browse my content.
    Also please let me  know if there are known issues anyone knows about PHPbb stuff with  flash files. I will be experimenting this for first time. As in Dubai at  least i have not seen any one site using flash in PHP BB, as people  dont detailing attention to community board.
    Thanks in advance.

    Then target flash player 9 or 8.

    I fould a hack that makes the sites think you have the latest (Intel) version of Flash installed. So I installed it & it works with Firefox, TenFourFox & Safari. Here's the info.
    Download this http://www.steelbin.com/FPforFBPPC.zip to your desktop, unzip it, and replace the current Flash Player plug-in which is in your main/Library/Internet Plug-Ins folder, (not the user Library). Save the old one just in case this one doesn't work.

  • HT204266 Is there a replacement for Adobe flash for ipad2?

    I am trying to watch a video, which pops up from a website.

    No Flash for iPads, iPhones, or iPods
    Here's why there's is no Flash available for iDevices or other mobile devices. Adobe was unable to provide a product that was suitable to the needs of battery powered mobile devices used for Internet browsing. Existing Flash technology used too much memory, ate battery life, and was buggy. Simply put Flash did not work well on mobile devices.
    Apple's Steve Jobs led the escape from Flash dependency when Apple introduced the iPhone, and later introduced the iPad. There was a hue and cry over the omission. Time proved Jobs was right on target.
    So this is why there is no Flash for your iPhone or iPad or iPod nor for most SmartPhones. Flash has been abandoned by many sites in favor of supported technologies such as HTML5 or by providing their own custom app.
    Here is Steve Jobs official comment on his momentous decision to omit Flash from iDevices: Steve Jobs on Flash.
    Here is Adobe's later announcement to cease development of Flash for mobile devices: Adobe on Mobile Flash.
    Now, you are not necessarily out on a limb. There are some apps that can display some Flash, but don't count on there ability to display anything using Flash.
    Apps that can display some Flash from the Web:
    Puffin
    SkyFire
    Photon Flash
    Browse2Go
    iSwifter
    Also, note that many sites that use Flash provide their own app for accessing their material. So check with your favorite sites and find out if "there's an app for that."
