At 37 minutes you can see the exposure settings for each light or channel a, b or c below each slider... Do anyone know how to activate this feature of being able to see the exposure under the sliders?

It is weird that sometimes these values appear under the slider other times they don't.

The user manual is difficult to follow in PDF form.

Any ideas?

Here I go again....I answered this question in a nother post . I heard from MArk Wallace this afternoon. Nice guy to address my other question about zones but didn't address my question about why the 580EXiis used with the TT5 in the video above do not have the AC5 shield.

MY GUESS: is that the flashes are not being controlled during the video and the images have all been pre-shot and the shields are left off for demonstrationpurposes only. whi knows?

Anyone know?

Another possibility is that the Canon 580EX II flashes used may have been modified internally.:

I gather that there are on-line instructions for those who wish to do their own internal RF modifications, but I don't find the links just now.
