I am seeing allot of questions on this video about the use of flash.. that's great but first make sure you know the basic exposure triangle (Aperture, Shutter Speed, ISO) before you turn on the flash. Now the in built flash sucks as a light source but its better than a totally dark picture (sometimes), and on camera speedlite is better as it gives you the option to bounce light off a wall or ceiling.. but the place you want to get to is off camera flash.. yes not covered in this video. Go grab your 60D or any camera and go learn exposure (Aperture, Shutter, ISO) then move to flash ... manual off camera) and work on that. I may do some tutorials on that stuff.. may but it depends on interest... that and I am working on a workshop at the moment as frankly its a better learning environment than being stuff in front of a keyboard and youtube. As for the 60D and flash menu options, you will see more options once you have got that camera off Auto modes. AV TV and Manual will show more options in the cameras menus. Rick
Hi Rick, guess what my 60D has no flash sub in the first menu block, neither in any block of the whole menu. Red Eye Reduction is the last field in the first block, so my camera for some reason will not display it. The selector wheel is in auto mode the green square. Is this a different version or am I doing something wrong? Thank you I subscribed today
I disabled the flash on this same camera and now I can't find it to turn it back on. There is no flash mode under the Red-eye reduction setting any longer. Please, if anyone can help, it would be so much appreciated! eos 60 D Cannon.
I have canon EOS 700D camera. It's flasher is not working properly. In auto mode and manual mode it pop ups and while focusing also it is fireing. Bt for the shutter it is not fire and 4tos are darker. How can i slove that? Plz help me.
when i disabled the flash firing, on adobe bridge its saying "flash did not fire, compulsory mode". I assume that means that flash was not used and it prevents the camera from using flash ? Can you clarify that for me ? Thanks a bunch!
When you first went into the Wireless func. section there were four options - Disable, External with a : then built-in, External only, and External with a + then built-in. You only spoke of the first three - what is the difference between the External:Built-in and External+Built-in? I see this on my current camera and I can not find the answer anywhere!
I no longer own the 60D so can't 100% sure. I believe the options allow you to just use the built in as a wireless commander flash ( or external speedlites)with no contribution to the exposure or do both use as a commander flash and also contribute to the exposure with the built in flash. Hard for me to confirm as I shoot with cameras that don't have a built in flash these days.
I have a cannon 7D all is working well, but if I set in auto flesh mood, then it say busy, error, and I can’t take any pictures at all, can u plz help me out, thanks
Since im a stills guy mostly I have no interest in them or the fingerprints on the screen. :) That said the 60D will be moved to video only duties soon. Right now its my backup camera. If you want touch screen then go for it, everyone has different need from a camera.. stills, video, both. The 70D is the latest crop sensor from Canon but is pricey as its not been around too long. Its a better video camera than the 60D but better enough to make me want to upgrade the 60D as its fine for video productions I am planning.
I have a Canon 60D and the Canon Speedlite 430EX II. When I take some pictures of my daughter going to her prom I don't want the pictures to look like I took them with a point and shoot. I want shallow depth of field!!! So my question is how can I set the camera for Av (aperture priority) at it's widest so that the camera will pick a shutter speed that syncs with the 430 and the 430 only puts out enough light so the widest f-stop is now properly exposed? Or do I have to go manual?
Harish Hi. I don't have such a tutorial the 60D tutorial series has ended. Fill flash is not camera specific or even flash specific (on camera or off). I will be looking at that stuff on my new channel which is linked on this channels page.
Really well presented Richard, and easily understandable for a non knowledgeable photographer ........lol

Thank you fantastic tutorial
thanks for this video ! found it to be very helpful ..
Jesus does your intro have to have the most jarring music ever? I almost had a heart attack when I opened the video.
when i disabled the flash firing, on adobe bridge its saying "flash did not fire, compulsory mode". I assume that means that flash was not used and it prevents the camera from using flash ? Can you clarify that for me ? Thanks a bunch!
Hi Sean, you are correct. It's just reporting the meta data the camera tags on the files.
my 60d doesnt have these options
i have only 2R,2B and 3Y header boxes in the menu section.

I have a 60D amd mine doesn't have all those icons across the top.
I can't find any flash control menu on my camera. What gives?
Hi. The options you see in menus will vary based o the shooting mode the camera is in. Auto, Program, Manual etc.
@@rickjbradbury Yeah, I finally figured that out......thank you.
good day my flash light is not pumping up what can i do to it
I don't have that under the red eye reduc
Hello. The flash menu does not show up. Mine stops at red-eye reduc. Any suggestions.
The full options are only available in certain modes. AV, TV and Manual mostly.
***** Thanks.
I have a cannon 7D all is working well, but if I set in auto flesh mood, then it say busy, error, and I can’t take any pictures at all, can u plz help me out, thanks
That may be the flash is charging ?
One question: Is this 60D touch screen? because in snapsort web they said that is not touch screen.
Nope not touch screen. The 70D is.
But, T5i is touch screen :( but can you view effects on screen when you changing iso and aperture right?
Yes you can using live view. The button just to the right of the view finder. Allot of dslr's have touch screens now.. personally im no fan of them.
Why you are not fan of them, maybe you convice me to not be a fan too. Also, I'm mega subscribed and Mega Like!
