My trusty 580exII has just developed a problem with my 60d and I'm hoping someone can help. Although the flash displays ETTL mode, all shots are totally blown out (appears to be firing at full power regardless of camera mode or setting). The same flash works fine on my Canon xti, AND my old canon 380ex flash works fine on the 60d. It appears to be something specific between the 580 and the 60d. I've checked all functions on the 580 and they are all set at 0. I did just have the flash diffuser replaced on the 580, but I can't imagine that being the issue. Any thoughts??
has it always had that problem? or has it just developed it recently?

The problem just started a few weeks ago... right after I had the diffuser repaired. I'm thinking my best option is to take it back into the shop. It just doesn't make sense to me why it would work on the xti, but not the 60d.
Yeah, probably best to take it back there. It's quite odd that it worked before, and now doesn't work on just that one camera. DO you know anyone else with another 60D? You might of developed a fault on yours, if it's working on other bodys. Also, have to checked to see if there is a firmware update for the camera?

Good pint on firmware update. I'll look into both this week. Thanks!
