That is what I thought. Am I right in thinking that a follow focus system is still manually operated?

I think I might already know the answer to this, but has anyone found a way of adjusting the Auto Focus whilst filming video footage with a 60D?

I have decided to return it and spend the extra money on the Canon 430EX, that is two bad experiences I have had with third party Lenses.

I've just bought a Nissin Di622 MkII for my Canon 60d and it doesn't work on auto, in fact it doesn't seem to communicate with the Camera settings at all. According to the instructions it should just turn on and work. I'm a missing something, do I need to Sync it in?

Thanks for advice, I'll take a look at the Nissin one, I can't justify the cost of the Canon.

I'm looking for a cheap flashgun for a 60D, I tried the Jessops 360 one but it would only work on full flash, I need one that will do fill in flash at 1/16 to 1/4 power. Any suggestions?

Cheers for that Ken, www.jamendo.com seems like what I am looking for. :)

Does anyone know where I can get some free music and audio effects from for my videos? I just want something for the opening credits and I dont want to infringe on any copy right and incur royality payments.

Thanks for the advice, I keep my eyes out to see what I can find. :)

Thanks for all the help on this everyone, you have all been really good. I have spoken to Jessops and they have agreed to give me refund so I'll be taking it back when I get a moment. I think the next step will be to keep an eye out on here of a 2nd hand 430ex or go to flee bay.

1.10 is the latest firmware and thats the one it came with.

Edit; I've just checked and it is the latest version!

I looked into the specs on both and I didn't need the extra range or faster recovery speed that the Canon offered and Jessops recomended the 360AFDC was compatable with my camera so I bought it to save £130. What you have to remember is photography isn't my main hobby its an off shoot of my...

I think your right, I'm going to dig the receipt out and take it back tomorrow. I'm just annoyed its come to that and I have to make an other trip to town and spend £130 extra

Bugger!! I'm really not happy about that, I was kind of hoping you guys could come up with a work around. I'm even more annoyed with Jessops selling me this because I specifically told the assisant what it was for and she said it was compatable with a 60D.
