Can the wansen trigger/receiver be used with canon 580ex?

Caroline, you should try to set the camera on "M" and the flash in 2nd curtain flash sync.

Or set flash in ATG wireless IR ETTL Slave modes and pop-up the flash on Canon EOS-70D.

You shouldn't, unless you want to get it with 300 volts!

Hi Bruce,
You have the latest cameras and they will work with ETTL II with Canon 430EX/550EX/580EX and 580EX II. Earlier models use ETTL and films use TTL.
Hope they are helpful.

I´ve been having the same problem with my 2 580´s. Sent one to Canon but still has the same problem. How did you solve your problem?

if u set the 580ex on master and the 430 EX on slave it works :) u dont need STE2 for this simple task.

Hi Joelgue,

Now, go to a real camera store and bring your equipments with you.

Say to them:

I have a Canon 580EX Flash and wanted to know if you have the Quantum Turbo Battery with the Adapter Cord for my 580EX?

Ask to see if you can test them out.

This adapter does not go into the 4AA battery hold but to the flip out cover, AC Adapter. You need to plug it into the flash.

Press "On" from the Q battery, then set flash to "Master" on camera and other EX to "Slave".

Turn all three on(1st flash, 2nd flash and camera.

Do not press shutter button but press the pre-flash(pre-auto lock/flash) on camera body. On the EOS-1Ds Mark III has "*".

Both flashes should come on.

Now, press the camera shutter using "ETTL Modes" and look at the image from the LCD screen...is exposure correct?

Address to this address from now, please: [email protected]

PS: You did set both flashes into same channel and with no exposure adjustment, right?
