The best think to do is purchase Pocketwizards AC3 Zone controller. Check out this video by Pocketwizard. This should answer question perfectly. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4HGyVhoW8iY

Try going to the custom menu and turning on Shoot w/o Lens. The lens is manual and the camera cannot use automatic settings.

Personally I find it very easy to use the SR Auto setting on camera for B/W shots. What you do is get into the menu--move down to the FINEPIX COLOR choice--the click to move into the settings, which is hitting the "wheel" to the right and move down one setting from STANDARD and choose B/W. That works very well because once you have selected the B/W setting you can move to other modes in the camera and it stays at the B/W setting. So if you were to go into SP and choose FLOWER, your settings with still remain B/W, but also with the enhancing of the FLOWER mode......I hope that makes sense. I found it fabulous!!!

That's a very vague question. Unlocking ISF Day and Night modes in the professional menu are the most flexible settings if you're a tweaker. Cnet's review has a calibration setting that you can try (I think it's in custom mode) as well.Enjoy!

It is compatible with ETTL. There's a button right on the ST-E2 that you can select manual or ETTL. The Canon ST-E2 Speedlite Transmitter is a dedicated E-TTL (II) wireless autoflash transmitter that can control an unlimited number of flashes with Canon Speedlites 420EX, 430EX, 430EXII, 550EX, 580EX and 580EX II, in two separate groups; A and B.

I don't have the camera in front of me right now, but I know you can chose aperature or shutter priority. You can also do a +-2 on exposure. I don't believe you can have full manual exposure control.

I was confused as well. But yes more equipment is needed to use as an off camera flash. the ETTL function just allows the flash and camera figure out the exposure for you. I got the Yongnuo YN-622C transmitters and they work great. You need one for every flash unit you want to trigger and one for your camera. Or for on your camera you can get the YONGNUO YN-622C-TX E-TTL transmitter, which allows you to quickly change your flashes settings. Helpful if your camera doesn't have a wireless flash control setting built in.

Just tested, in manual mode, exposure locks into your desired setting. This function does not seem to be available in automatic mode, but is easily found in manual mode.

Yes - TTL, eTTL slave Canon master, high speed sync. 2nd curtain sync only works if set up on flash. Camera menus cannot be used to set flash settings. I have not tried FEB.

I'm sorry, I don't entirely understand your question- hopefully this answers it though!There are 3 options, "off, tx, trx" Off, of course, is "off." "TX" is what you want to have the trigger on your camera set to, for lack of better wording, it's the "transmitter" switch. Going off of that, the "TRX" is the "receiver" and it what you want the triggers on your flashes to be set to. Hope that helps!

assuming you are not in full auto..yes..you have enough buttons on the body to change almost all the settings ..such as : wb,iso,s.speed,aperture,picture mode,etc.

No, It doesn't support TTL, But I shoot with the flash in manual and have never had an issue.

The paperwork says:Although this flash unit has been equiped with numerous functions, depending on the camera model being used, some functions may have some limitations. A type cameras: E-TTL (ETTLII) Compatible EOS SLR cameras. B type camearas: All other EOS cameras except those listed above.. I find that a bit confusing but I hope this helps.Bob G.

very interesting. i've had my TZ5 for a couple of yrs, and used the digital zoom frequently, always in Normal mode, (I know it won't work in iA mode.) Recently, it refuses to work in normal mode-- stays grayed out, even with 3 mp manually set. However, in Scene 1 mode I am able to use digital zoom, just like before, (combined with optical and ez-zoom, giving me a total of 67.5X). I don't understand the change. Any ideas? Firmware update?

Sorry man I have not used it yet. On my others camera it is a setting I can change. I'll look at the camera when I get home and see if I can help out. I have been out of town. I'll get back this weekend

Honestly I had similar combo and couldn't get the ttl to work. I ended up getting pocket wizards. I also had some issues with the triggering with these, and with my pocket wizards no such troubles.

The EOS T5i appears to have the standard Canon hot shoe. This means you could use the PocketWizard PlusX or Plus III triggers. The TT5/TT1 series for Canon should work as manual triggers, but it's not yet clear if it will work as TTL (which is sort of the point for those units) until PocketWizard has time to test and update their compatibility matrix. Some Canon cameras have restrictions on functions with the TT5/TT1. Best chance for a solid answer on that would be to contact PocketWizard directly, I have found them to be very responsive both by phone and by email.
