Tip From a Reader

Can’t remember exactly what all the custom functions do on your DSLR? Do what I do and take close-up shots of the pages of the instruction manual explaining these settings, and store them on a memory card to take with you when shooting. If you zoom in with the magnifier function in playback, the text is pretty readable. And you can do this for any other operation you’re not sure of—I never remember the procedure for making a custom white balance reading, so I store those instructions, too.

Burst Or Bust

Q. I recently purchased a Canon EOS Rebel T2i. Would an older Speedlite 430EZ damage my camera or could I use it normally?

A. The 430EZ won’t harm your camera, but it would have limited functionality on the T2i. It will fire on manual only, with no automatic control of the flash duration. You’d need to put your camera in manual (M) or aperture-priority (Av) to adjust flash exposure by varying the f-stop. You could also set the flash to fractional output settings (1/2 power, 1/4, and so on). For full TTL automation, you’ll need the Speedlite 430EX II.

A note to Canon, Nikon, Olympus, Pentax, and Sony DSLR shooters: Information about the compatibility of manufacturers’ older flash units with newer cameras can almost always be found in the camera manual.
