I found something similar using Google. The flash needs the settings done on the flash and then it should work. Is that correct?
This flash has limited setting:
Power= Off or On
Flash = standard or high
Group = A, B, C
CH = 1, 2, 3, 4
Slave = On or Off
Even the Flash exposure level (using the camera's Flash menu) will not work), so I have no to adjust the flash exposure level.

Good plan. It sounds strange.
Spoke with Canon Tech Support about the 420EX, this AM. I was informed that this flash unit is not compatible with the newer canon cameras. He stated that I would need have 430EX II or higher to work with my cameras Flash menu. Now the flash will work with my cameras, but I will not be able to adjust the flash using the camera flash menu.

Interesting. I don't know of a way to update the firmware for a flash. I have 580 EX II and 580 EX and have never seen a firmware update for the flash.
Could it be something else?

I don't believe one can update the firmware on canon flash units. I know the the YN600 RT's firmware can be updated. No I just think that the flash firmware/operating system is not completely compatible with the newer Canon DSLRs. When I bought this flash I had just purchased the Canon PowerShot Pro 1. I'm going to call Canon and asked them why am I getting that message with this flash on both of my cameras.

Well, if it helped diagnose the issue then that is a good thing. Did you mean firmware for the 70D?
Also, on the magic lantern front - a different thread - matching the firmware is important, and ML for 70D is still at the beta level we think, so caution is advised. Works perfectly on my T3i however.
Good luck.

No the firmware on the 420EX. When I place this flash on either of my two cameras and go to Flash control then to "External flash C.Fn setting". I get the following message "This menu cannot be displayed. incompatible flash or flash's power is turned off". Now the flash is on and changes made to the focal length it picked up by the flash. So since the 420EX is not communicating with either of my cameras for this sub-menu item, then I think it's an issue with the firmware. Canon did discontinue the model a while back and they did produce a 420EX II, which was also discontinued.

Do you have a UV filter on the lenses used?

Thanks all, the problem was with the settings used under "Flash" - Flash sync speed in Av mode. Also I believe that my discontinued Canon Speedlite 420EX is not communicating well with my 70d - old firmware.

Can someone provide me with the name and author of a good book (Kindle) to learn how to use Photoshop CS6. I'm looking for something that explains how to use Photoshop CS6 in plain English, explaining the features and how to use them.

So when shooting with a flash one should not use Av mode - correct? What is the best mode to use when shooting wit a flash ,i.e., M, Tv , P, or A+?
thanks for your help.

Hi, I have a canon SL1 and a 70d and when I use my Canon speedlite 420EX my photo come out with a haze around the subject. This happen regardless of the shooting mode I use. Also it happens regardless of the lens am using, or if I use a diffuser. Beyond the fact that it could be me - could the issue be with 420EX? Help!!!

I thinking about putting magic lantern on my Canon 70d. Any thoughts on using this, e.g, problems or concerns. Also I know that the software is loaded/installed on a SD card, but what happens if you just take the magic lantern card out and use a non magic lantern card - any problems in doing this.
