Yes
Hi people. Recently picked up a Canon 80D (upgrade from a 400D so as you can imagine I'm delighted so far) but have come across an issue with regards to external flash. I have an old Jessops 360 AFDC flash that works fine with the 400D but I can't get it to fire on the 80. The Camera knows it's there as it shows in a menu that something is attached to the hotshoe, but it just doesn't fire. Is there a setting i've missed?

Thanks in advance.

Lee.
 
Does it let you change he settings in the menu you refer to? On mine, 80d and old yongnuo flash, it fires the flash but doesn't recognise the flash in the menu/settings. Also you may get more answers in the 80d users thread
 
I have one of those guns. It's very easy to knock it into slave only mode on the right hand switch. Just worth a look?
