Hi Craig, I agree that the term continuous is a bit confusing, I wouldn't choose that word but the Canon manual uses it. You are correct; I don't mean the "multi mode": my flash is set to E-TTL When using 'M' Manual or 'E-TTL' modes, the focus plane adjustment time between shots is sufficient rest f...

After acquiring my first dSLR, I'm re-building my photomicrography setup. Previously I was using LED lights and an a very old digital fixed-lens camera. In my new dSLR setup instead of LEDs I'm using a single Canon 430EX II speedlite with diffusers to illuminate he subject. To add "fill" light I add...
