Canon 580EX ll Flash Settings Tutorial
The Canon 580EX ll Flash is a versatile and powerful flash which can be used in a multiple flash set-up for portrait photography or creative lighting. These tutorials from YouTube will help you to understand some of the more complicated settings found in the menu.
This video, by Michael The Mentor, is mainly aimed at the Canon 7D camera with the 580EX ll flash but I like it because he explains the various multiple flash grouping options very well.

Student Testimonials
Having spent over a year using my camera only on full auto to take photos I decided I needed help to figure out all the settings I should be using.
I'm so pleased I did.
This photography course explained all the settings and all the best picture composition tips I needed. Glen ensured no one left without all of their questions being answered- including me.

Hi Glen. I'm just dropping you a note to say how much I enjoyed the course today. You answered all my questions and gave me the confidence to go out and use my camera properly.
Today has turned my box of expensive gadgets into top class photography equipment. Thanks!

This has been a great photography course and I know I can now take proper photographs instead of just snaps.
Highly Recommended.

A good balance of technical & practical information with enough detail for the more experienced camera user without losing the beginners interest. A great course for getting the best out of my DSLR.
