Does the IR work as focus assist in dark conditions when shooting manual flash like the 580EX does.

The Mitros will project a red grid for focus assist when used on-camera. I've used this with both a Canon Rebel and Canon 6D with good results.

Yes. Usually most DSLRs have great flashes to begin with. As you focus onto what you intend to take a photo of, right after you press the button the flash goes off immediately.

I used mine on video and camera. I'm not sure if it uses a flash or is IR. I do know is that I didn't have a problem with any deer being spooked on either setting. The video setting is the best proof of that. I had groups of mature bucks come right up to the camera and stay close in range for extended periods of time. I set my camera's up higher than most though I think. I feel it keeps it out of the sight better. I can't say enough good things about this camera. For the price it can not be beat. I have sold my other lower priced camera's and have bought more of these. Browning has it figured out for this price market...absolutely love the camera. I used mine on video and camera.

I'm not sure what to tell you on that one. But it is a manual flash. Plug-in a trigger and take some test shots with brightness settings and you will get dialed in pretty quick. Do you have any other specific questions that you need help with?

I would tend to recommend not relying on the internal flash for this kind of thing but instead to consider an external flash like the Canon Speedlite 430EX II. In poor light, the internal flash uses bright pulses of light to provide enough light for the focusing system to work properly but these light pulses can be extremely distracting for your subject. The external flash uses a much less intrusive red focusing beam. Light from the 430EX can also be bounced from a white wall or ceiling in order to create a much softer and much more flattering quality of light. Also, the 430EX recharges much faster for the next shot, has greater range and doesn't eat up your camera's batteries.

This is a great flash. I use it all the time. With regards to your question it flashes three times when red eye is on however it does not when delayed or advanced flash is used.

Usually yes. If you're in an auto mode there me be a delay for focus / light metering etc like most dslrs. However none of that in manual.

If it can, I have not found that setting yet. I recommend the Cannon Rebel Xti. I use it at work and it is amazing. I set it on action mode and you can snap away, just hold the button! And it has settings to change the aperture for different lighting.

yes, at 105 mm and under the camera does perform excellently for IR, with no visible hot spot I haven't been able to find the references to the hot spot on dpreview.com, can you provide a link to the exact message on the thread? Thanks

Not in low ambient light when on either auto or aperture mode; I have not found a mode in which it works well in low light, but haven't read the manual either.

With the Panasonic, it relies on the focus assist in the camera body. No assist from the flash unit.In the manual, all it says is that some cameras only support the AF illuminator in the camera body. It doesn't mention "which" cameras or models.

I use this on my 5d and 60d with the 580ex2. I have had no issue with this ring flash. The clear plastic does seem a little more flimsy than I was expecting but works without issue.

Yes, but only in manual mode. However don't buy this. It's a huge piece of junk, firing the flash 1 in 5 shots if you are lucky, more like 1 in 10 on average. Save your money and buy a better quality set up.

Yes, the IR led glows red as soon as it is dark. I own several Hikvision cameras and the night view is superb on this camera.

Hi Nolan, this Sony HDRCX900/B has a Night Shot feature which emits infrared light to take images on a total darkness. -Ely

I have both the 580EX and the 430EX II and They both work fine. I've been using them for portraits of grand kids and using everything in manual with a hand held light meter to set power. Kind of a pain setting the power on the flashes because you have to get inside the umbrella to do it. If I was a pro I Wouldn't do it that way because of the time it take but hey, I'm retired so I have lots of time!

I use 580exll and they work great, very happy with the performance. I needed triggers that could change my power output in the manual mode mainly but the other features are just icing on the cake.
