canon 5D Mark iii with 430 EX ii flash question

(1/2) > >>

pestrol:
Hi guys - i have recently purchased the 5D Mk iii from having a 500D. When using the flash 430 ex ii with the new 5d i find that the photos don't seem as bright with the flash.

I feel like I am using the exact same settings on camera and with flash - they just seem a lot darker?

Any assistance would be great - I am sure it is something simple.

Thanks

Pestrol

neuroanatomist:
Do you have any flash exposure compensation applied?

Just shot a wedding with the 5d3 and 430 ex2 and 580 ex2...  Had no problems with either (except the 580 had a screwy setting which disabled the ettl function, but we eventually figured it out and it worked like a charm...  Make sure it's set to ETTL or manual if you feel strong enough to shoot manual flash.  Otherwise, like nuero said, check exposure compensation and that you aren't too far away where the flash may struggle. 

bornshooter:
may seem stupid but also make sure you have fresh batteries in when they start to drain a little i notice my flash isn't as strong replace them and i am fine i use lithium there awesome and lighter every bit of weight saved is a bonus lol

+ 1 on the batteries.
