    Must of us have the Flash enabled. That is elementary basic information. The problem that sends us to the internet is that it is enabled but does not work.

    I'm sorry but this video is as useless as saying "make sure ur camera is on to use it"... Ppl asked u for ur help because the menus don't work even when flash is enabled.... And by reading the comments... It all comes down to you saying "we are not familiar with that speedlight" or "it's not compatible" you even tell a guy his speedlight is not compatible even if his devices are all Canon.

      Hi Guillermo! Make sure that the flash you are using is compatible with your camera and camera brand (due different hot shoe connections).

      i am having this issue with my canon 7D and a speedlite 600rt. this flash works flawlessly attached to the top of the camera hot shoe. When i try and use the remote settings, via the wireless on board flash option, it will not fire the flash. i get the "incompatible flash" error for the lower three menu settings. i have double checked the make sure the top portion of the flash menu is "enabled". So, athat means i can't get this camera body to wirelessly talk to the speedlite 600rt. i am going to think i need a st3 for it?

    Unfortunately, this video didn’t help. It is enabled and I’m still getting the; 'or flash’s power is turned off.’ message. This is either a firmware or hot shoe problem. I’ve been using the same wireless trigger for some years and it suddenly won’t fire the flash anymore. If anyone finds the error fix, I would be grateful.

    nope. TT560 on my Canon T3i.... nothing I do or change lets me access settings in ''External flash func. setting, or External flash CFn setting. Cannot clear settings. My conclusion is that the TT560 is entirely uncompatible with my T3i.

      Hi, please make sure that you are in the viewfinder mode, and also this is a manual flash unit so you will not be able to control it from your camera.

    I have a canon t3 and bought a canon 420ex for it. The flash is enabled and it fires the flash, a very strong flash. The pictures come out dark though as if there was no flash. If I try to configure the menu only part of it is available like where it says average flash, but the other option says flash is not compatible or flash power is off. I don't understand what's going on.
    Could it be that the camera is not syncing with the flash? If so how could I fix that?

Press the button to take a picture. Basically the view finder should be black and will show the image once the picture is taken
