I want to set up my external flash canon speedlite 430x11(wirelessly) to my canon t4i. I go to flash control go down to external flash control and click but I get the error message: this menu cannot be displayed .Incompatible flash or flash"s power is turned off. This speedlite is compatible with the t4i and the flash power is turned on. So what can I do to correct this error. Thanks!!

I am guessing you have not mounted the flash on the camera and turned it on. I am guessing you are thinking you should be able to get the camera to talk to the flash which is off camera. If my guesses are correct you are just a little confused about how "wirelessly" works. You would need a compatible wireless transmitter attached to the camera to communicate to the flash which is off camera.

I, in my ignorance, misled you. I was thinking that your 430 EX II flash had built in RF Receiver and you wanted RF Wireless operation. I looked and saw that the 430 EX II works as an optical slave which will I believe work in conjunction with your camera's built in flash.
I think if you go into the menu and select "Flash Control" and scroll down to "Built in flash settings" and then select "Easy Wireless" you might get it to work
