I've had my 430EXII for quite some time, and never have been able to use it to its utmost. As an "old" man(73) I fin it refreshing to see someone in the younger generation use their knowledge for enlightening us "old" folks. I learned an awful lot on my flash, thanks to you. Have a Blessed day.
Thank you so much for the simplicity of your tutorials...I am a 65 year old grandmother who would like to take awesome pics of my 7 grandkids!! Totally explained everything to me
Just watching a couple of your flash tutorials. They are very easy to understand and informative. Flash is something I like many others find difficult to understand. Thanks for your help.
Thanks so much for posting this vid! I've been trying to work out how to use the 430EXII as a off camera flash for a very long time now, due to losing the instruction book! Just watched your vid and straight after was using it as an off camera flash! My world has just got bigger. many thanks.
I am MOST grateful to (finally, at last) stumble upon your excellent video! Thank-you for this video! My 430 EX came second-hand in 2010 and now in 2017 I know what to do with the buttons - YAY! Jim, Canberra
I finally bought the Speedlite and watched you original video on it and your updated version. Glad to learn from you on how to operate it. It saves me lots of time and not having to read the manual. Thanks.
thank you, just purchased 430 ex, (used) to get started with speedlight and away from pop up flash. this video took away my initial frustration with not understanding this new accessory - thanks for putting my mind at ease!
Thanks for the informative video. I am just moving into digital from my 35 year old Nikon film camera and equipment. I picked up a 430 EX II at a great price and took it to a graduation event thinking it couldn't be that much different. After a complete FAIL I'm slowing down a bit to learn all over it seems. Your videos have helped me tremendously, thank you for taking the time to share your knowledge. Your videos are straight forward and easy to follow.
Thanks very helpful... I had a bad camera day yesterday getting white wash from my flash... today I'm back to normal. Thanks for the reminder video, I needed that today. I have the flash working with my 7D
Thank you so much! I never realized that Custom Function 1 would stop the off-camera lights from continually needing to be awakened after they fell asleep. That was always very irritating, problem now solved. I would mention that second curtain is also used when there is a moving object and you want a trail behind it, like a running person. Second curtain, with a slow shutter speed, will record the trail and at the end, flash. If you used first curtain, the flash would be at the beginning of the trail (which would actually be the end), which would be backwards. I got quite a bit out of this video. I just purchased a Canon 580EX (not the 580EX II) which should arrive in a few days, so I'll be back on TH-cam looking for more videos like this one. Thanks!
Hi , thanks for your video on canon 430 ex ll ,can you please let me know how to fire two flesh simultaneously one on camera hot shoe and other from the distance, I had two canon flesh 430 ex ll and canon 580 ex ll and canon 77 d camera , thanks
Great Video, much clearer than the manual. I picked up a mk1 430 from a lady who thought the thing was broke (it was switched to slave mode), the thing is a revelation to me I'd been using a fully manual YN-560 III which being all manual was a nightmare at times. The ETTL and assist beam have transformed my results and the HSS and 2nd Curtain Sync are going to open a world of possibilities
Awesome video, straight to the point covering the surface items to get me using my 430EX II with a lot more knowledge on the speedlite than I had 10 mins ago. Thank you so much
Thank you for the tut can I just make a little point regarding the built in diffuser it takes your flash to 14mm and if you don't know like I didn't when you push it back into place if you have not pushed it back all the way just leaving it out only by a slight amount then your still looking at the 14 mm spread I had not realized my mistake and thought that my flash was broke I found out the answer on youTube thanks again for putting up the vid regards
Thank-you !!! Both videos helped me so much so I now feel confident to use it after 2 years of it sitting in a drawer .Was thinking of selling it but will keep it now.
hi canon 430ll got bit problem with that its on digital screen all numbers and words blinking all time zoom just stuck on 14mm when i turn on flash its making some noice please help to sort out the problem thanks
I have the same flash and I'm just wondering what kind of batteries should I use like I use rechargeable batteries but what kind of strong rechargeable battery should I use
Thanks for the video, Do you have any that go into more detail about the modes and slave function. I would also like to know more about the curtain function as well. thanks
hi I am having trouble getting the assist beam working with my canon 6d I've followed instructions set focus point centre and I've turned the AF beam on on the flash setting can you help.plz I have the 430ex iii rt
1/1 number is how powerful the light so 1/1 is full power the 24mm is how wide the light beam is. Lets say it was at 105mm it would be much narrow light and 24mm the light spread is much wider.
thank u for your vid tutorial, i wonder whether this speedlite can be used for stoboscopic shooting, since I found in youtube they mostly using 580EX II rather than 430EX II, mine is 430EX II
Question! I pressed the ZOOM button and set the focal length manually. But now I want to undo this and have the focal length set automatically from my camera - but I can't figure out how to do that. Should be simple, and I'd appreciate your reply! Best, Jeremy
So I'm a wedding dj and i picked up a t5i to take some shots of our setups and of course some actions shots of the crowd and what not. I ran into the some problems where I didn't have much light to work with and I didn't want a direct flash look. So running the iso too high made the shots noisy. So s friend photographer advised to pick up an external flash and aim the flash away from the subject. Would this be a good buy for me? Thanks
It was a great video. Just what I was looking for: a video showing in detail the various functions of the flash. I have a 580 ex II flash, but I learned a lot about its features looking at your excellent video. Keep up the good work!!!!
thank you your video was very helpful. I am using a Canon t5i I was wondering if you could help me with a question. For some reason I am unable to adjust my shutter speed when my flash is attached. I am in manual mode on my camera so I have no idea what's going on.thanks for the help
Nice review ... Wanted to ask you why are my photos a bit yellowish when I bounce my 430 eX ii ... The camera I use is the 6D ... The white balance on Auto and if I set it at flash it gets worse ... I used to have a nikon D700 and the nikon sb600 and the colors and exposure were perfect when I used to bounce the flash ... Would appreciate your help ...
This video has been extremely helpful to me. However, I have a question. When using this flash with my Canon Rebel T4i on Manual Mode, can my lens be on AF? It seems to "confuse" the flash even though I have it set to shoot after 2 seconds. Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated. Thanks so much!
I just bought this flash. I can't get the zoom feature to work. When press the zoom button nothing happens. But when I hold it down it will go into the slave setting.
Thank you very very much! I do have a question though, I just bought one online, but can I use it wireless with my Mark II 5D? Or do I need to buy something else? Thank you very much!
Hey, thanks for your video but theres something i'm not sure about here, Is it possible to use my camera integrated flash as a trigger for the 430EX ii ? Thanks again ! :)
Thanks a lot, I didn't even know how to use it! Pls I would dearly appreciate some explanation about the curtains, you mentioned?? Again thanks for sharing your knowledge, cheers from Uruguay.
hello i have a question, i hope you might help me, my speedlite dont stop blinking, i mean the screen where i can set up, sorry about my english, hope to hear from u soon, :)
I can't get mine to work. I bought it years ago and I never used it, but i have tried a loooot of times. It wont go off with my other flash (umbrella).
I'm having a weird trouble with my flash. I'm using it with a yognuo transceiver and its stuck at 1/8 -0.3 and I can't change it... do you have any idea what's going on?
Media Unlocked do you know how to set up a sync speed? is it possible? Let's say I want to photograph a ball dopping into a cup of water and I want to freze the image?
Can you make it tutorial video on the canon speedlite 470ex-ai??? I can find any good videos on it... What every bottom does... Please and thank you...
Hey, probably forgot to mention what happens with the settings when the diffuser is out. Screen starts blinking and flash goes to 14mm. thanks for a great video
I I have it in manual mode but when I touch the zoom button nothing happens. I am unable to control Zoom. I see in your video that when you touch Zoom the display flashes and allows it to change. Mine does not do that. Any thoughts on why?
I am having an issue with my 430 ex II where I can't adjust my zoom on the flash. If i push the button once it does not start blinking. If I hold it down it does allow me to adjust the master and slave option. My flash is currently stuck on 14mm. Does the master/slave options have an effect on this? I was able to adjust it before but now am not. Any help will be appreciated. Is there a way to reset settings to factory?
Hey david i need to ask you something about Off camera flash. my question is can i use Canon 430EX II with my canon 600D as a off camera flash. I m in a big trouble. please let me know soon.
Greetings, thanks for taking the time to make this video. Things are a little more clear to me than they were. However, I don't mean to sound nasty here, but I don't understand why you'd explain something as simple and obvious as an On/Off button, but then when speaking of Channels, Masters and Slaves act like someone should know what the heck they are. I've never hear those terms in my life (in the context of a flash). Sorry if I sound critical, but I'm puzzled over that.
I didn't catch what you said about synch speeds. I know the max synch speed is usually 1/200 or 1/250, but it sounded as though you said you could click something on the 430EX ii and shoot at 1/2000. Did I hear you correctly?
Can I use this flash on my Canon 600d? I know I sound ignorant but I searched all over the internet and I cannot find a link that says that the 430ex ii is compatible with 600d body.
I think it is incumbent of authors of videos like these, to check back on them at least once a year. A lot will have changed in 11 years, since its original launch.
Hi, great video. I have a Canon 5d 1st generation and a 550d. I have just bought this flash and am a bit intimidated by the manual settings as I have never used a flash before. Scary thing, is in July my friends have asked me to do their wedding. I have 100mm,85mm, 50mm and f4 28-105 lenses all around f1.4-2.8 prime lenses. Would you recommend doing auto mode on camera with the new flash or keep it just for dark iindoor photos like 1st dance etc? Many thanks, Phil
Thank you for such informative video which helped a lot. However, now that I'v got over this hurdle I would like to know how to set the flash/use up with my canon 500d camera dslr. Looking forwardf to your response. Thank you.

Good man, George!
That must be 1873! I am born in 1961, and I am not old. 😉
Thank you! This is the first time I've fully understood what my flash is capable of.
Lisa Franklin great!!
Great

That beat at the end was hot. I was just banging on the table, then the beat dropped. Yes!
Nice video.

Thank you It helped me a lot as beginner photographer love from India🇮🇳
I lost my manual and your video helped me a lot. I now know how my flash operates. Much better than just reading the manual. Thanks a lot!
Marino Perez happy to help
Pretty clear explanation. Any idea on why the setting i was getting would go away after a couple of minutes?
Thanks so much for posting this vid! I've been trying to work out how to use the 430EXII as a off camera flash for a very long time now, due to losing the instruction book! Just watched your vid and straight after was using it as an off camera flash! My world has just got bigger. many thanks.

thank you, just purchased 430 ex, (used) to get started with speedlight and away from pop up flash. this video took away my initial frustration with not understanding this new accessory - thanks for putting my mind at ease!

Hi, the 430 EX flash can also be used on the camera or has only detached slave function. Thanks

Can I assume that you can't use this remotely with the 5DMKIII, which doesn't have a built-in flash?
Thanks very helpful... I had a bad camera day yesterday getting white wash from my flash... today I'm back to normal. Thanks for the reminder video, I needed that today. I have the flash working with my 7D

Awesome video, straight to the point covering the surface items to get me using my 430EX II with a lot more knowledge on the speedlite than I had 10 mins ago. Thank you so much
happy to help
Oh wow. I didn't even know my 430EXII had a diffuser until I saw your video. Thank you!!
James Liakos happy to help
Please let me know when you've created a video for the closed curtain mode
So ETTL does not work for curtain shots?
So incredibly helpful! Had no idea there was a diffuser, thanks!!! I am now a happy subscriber!
thanks for the sub
Very nicely done. I have two 430EX11. Can i use one inline?
Thanks for giving simple but great knowledge. I needed some help and this was perfect!
Thank you for the tut can I just make a little point regarding the built in diffuser it takes your flash to 14mm and if you don't know like I didn't when you push it back into place if you have not pushed it back all the way just leaving it out only by a slight amount then your still looking at the 14 mm spread I had not realized my mistake and thought that my flash was broke I found out the answer on youTube thanks again for putting up the vid regards

hi canon 430ll got bit problem with that its on digital screen all numbers and words blinking all time zoom just stuck on 14mm when i turn on flash its making some noice please help to sort out the problem thanks
I would love to know how the second curtain works...Please do a video when you have time. Thanks. Keep up the good job

I have the same flash and I'm just wondering what kind of batteries should I use like I use rechargeable batteries but what kind of strong rechargeable battery should I use
+jackisking143 I no longer use rechargeable battery's. I use your basic energizer battery's now. Use a toss them away
Thanks for the video, Do you have any that go into more detail about the modes and slave function. I would also like to know more about the curtain function as well.
thanks
Philip Vino I have not made a video on all that yet
hi I am having trouble getting the assist beam working with my canon 6d I've followed instructions set focus point centre and I've turned the AF beam on on the flash setting can you help.plz I have the 430ex iii rt
Still a great flash after all these years! Thank you....
I don't understand to what this numbers mean at minute 4:32. Are the meter and the power of the light?
1/1 number is how powerful the light so 1/1 is full power the 24mm is how wide the light beam is. Lets say it was at 105mm it would be much narrow light and 24mm the light spread is much wider.

hai,, Is it possible to vary the intensity and widening of flash, when we r using slave mode?
Random, but where is the PDF you mentioned in the beginning of the video? I would like to download that to have on hand. Loved the video!
Trish Stopczynski Type in 430ex pdf in google
Media Unlocked Thank you!
Nice video. You have covered all topics except the green light below the pilot lamp.
Question! I pressed the ZOOM button and set the focal length manually. But now I want to undo this and have the focal length set automatically from my camera - but I can't figure out how to do that. Should be simple, and I'd appreciate your reply! Best, Jeremy
Are you in ETTL mode or M mode in M mode you can change it. ETTL mode is like and automatic mode.

what speed are you trying to use over 200 shutter?
This flash seem to lose power on my batteries and performance , what's your advice on what to do and what to change?
Use high power batteries and low shutter speed for low use of battery
You need a wireless transmitter and receiver. Cowboy studio makes a nice cheap set. I do have a review on them if you look.
Hi, thank you for your video, how can I use it on the stand and not on the camera?
+Amir Lahijy You need a wireless flash trigger and receiver plus a mount for your stand
If your camera has a built in flash, you can use that to trigger your speedlite.
Do you need a trigger to connect this with canon 77d???
Did you ever make a vid for the rear curtain setup?
I never did sorry.
Nice review ... Wanted to ask you why are my photos a bit yellowish when I bounce my 430 eX ii ... The camera I use is the 6D ... The white balance on Auto and if I set it at flash it gets worse ... I used to have a nikon D700 and the nikon sb600 and the colors and exposure were perfect when I used to bounce the flash ... Would appreciate your help ...
Hassan Abdul Hadi What is the scene you are shooting in.
Indoor portraits of kids with the room having fluoresent lighting
Hassan Abdul Hadi change your white balance to fluoresent and see if that help
This video has been extremely helpful to me. However, I have a question. When using this flash with my Canon Rebel T4i on Manual Mode, can my lens be on AF? It seems to "confuse" the flash even though I have it set to shoot after 2 seconds. Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated. Thanks so much!
Hi, Very nice tutorial! What would be the most ideal setting of the flash for normal indoor portrait shots?
It changes from scene to scene. I would put it on ETTL if you do not know manual very well.
What is a bracket setting ehat is it used for
Great tutorial...but what mode should camera be in when using the flash? tv or av or manual setting?
Any of them I am in M mode most of the time.
I just bought this flash. I can't get the zoom feature to work. When press the zoom button nothing happens. But when I hold it down it will go into the slave setting.
Thank you very very much!
I do have a question though, I just bought one online, but can I use it wireless with my Mark II 5D? Or do I need to buy something else?
Thank you very much!

hello i have a question, i hope you might help me, my speedlite dont stop blinking, i mean the screen where i can set up, sorry about my english, hope to hear from u soon, :)
Dani Pastuszuk Please try and explain better. Do you change batteries? Is it in slave mode?
Hey, where is the list with custom function numbers and meaning?
great video... to the point and gives a great understanding of the settings. thank you! One question, was wondering where the custom settings were to?
None ETTL mode or your camera in h settings
I can't get mine to work. I bought it years ago and I never used it, but i have tried a loooot of times. It wont go off with my other flash (umbrella).
I'm having a weird trouble with my flash. I'm using it with a yognuo transceiver and its stuck at 1/8 -0.3 and I can't change it... do you have any idea what's going on?
It will not change at all in manual mode?
Media Unlocked do you know how to set up a sync speed? is it possible? Let's say I want to photograph a ball dopping into a cup of water and I want to freze the image?
Arián Krakov hyper sync is what you need with a fast shutter
Media Unlocked oh. Thanks! I will try then!
Can you make it tutorial video on the canon speedlite 470ex-ai??? I can find any good videos on it... What every bottom does... Please and thank you...
If you buy and send me one I can definitely do so for you.
I love that video thanks It was educational. I need to know how do you get it to work in slave mode
Hey, probably forgot to mention what happens with the settings when the diffuser is out. Screen starts blinking and flash goes to 14mm. thanks for a great video
Daniel Bustamante I noticed the same thing
I I have it in manual mode but when I touch the zoom button nothing happens. I am unable to control Zoom. I see in your video that when you touch Zoom the display flashes and allows it to change. Mine does not do that. Any thoughts on why?
+Dave Storton try holding it down it does no blink a allow you to change it?
so i got this and i can't use high speed sync off camera? i would need a 580-ex or wireless triggers?
That is correct
When you do compensation and want to SET at a speficic 1/3rd or whole of a stop, press SET. The flashing of the compensation number will stop.
I bought a 6D. Would this be suited for a small indoor and outdoor wedding?
Yes it would. I just used it at a wedding this last weekend.
Awesome thank you :D
no problem
I am having an issue with my 430 ex II where I can't adjust my zoom on the flash. If i push the button once it does not start blinking. If I hold it down it does allow me to adjust the master and slave option. My flash is currently stuck on 14mm. Does the master/slave options have an effect on this? I was able to adjust it before but now am not. Any help will be appreciated. Is there a way to reset settings to factory?
Geoff Stevens if you put it in slave it will not change the mm?
Media Unlocked What camera do you have it on?
Hey david i need to ask you something about Off camera flash. my question is can i use Canon 430EX II with my canon 600D as a off camera flash. I m in a big trouble. please let me know soon.
yes but you need a flash trigger look at cowboy studios triggers they are cheap and work pretty well
Could you explain what the diffuser is used for
to stop the light down make it more even
it's not working with my 5d mark II - any idea why?
The M button keeps blinking when I try to set to Manual mode. It switches back to ETTL. how do i lock down manual setting
look at your flash setting in your camera.
I find that when I use my flash in manual mode I am not getting as good of a photo as when I use ettl. I'm not sure what I am doing wrong
You just need to practice more you will get there.
If I am shooting a wedding at 2 P.M. outside... what do you recommend? A flash or not?
LaDina Brunetti no flash
Greetings, thanks for taking the time to make this video. Things are a little more clear to me than they were.

It is call hyper-sync this allows you do shoot with a higher shutter speed
Can I use this flash on my Canon 600d? I know I sound ignorant but I searched all over the internet and I cannot find a link that says that the 430ex ii is compatible with 600d body.
+André João it is
When I press my zoom button, the numbers don't change. When I press and hold I see the slave options but the mm don't change. What am I doing wrong?
I think it is incumbent of authors of videos like these, to check back on them at least once a year. A lot will have changed in 11 years, since its original launch.
Would you be able to make a video on showing how to use it when shooting a photo session??? :)
Wendy Dougherty It is on the list just very busy these days
Oh great, Thank you!!! :)
i have the canon t2i and im on manual but it wont let me go past 1/200 shutter speed, any help??

What setting does camera have to be in to use external flash?
You just need to put it on one of the manual modes.
+Thomas Mosig Depends on your camera, I have a Canon 5D mark iii and found out....it won't...but on my canon 70D, it works fine.
Keith Johnson I have a 5D Mark iii as well and it works perfectly fine what issues are you having?
Will this work wirelessly with an 80D as a single off camera flash
no
