I primarialy shoot at night and use the Canon 580EX's auto-focus red light (NOT the strobe). Would the King Pro interfere with this operation?

I'm not quite sure. When I use the king pro my flash it's obviously of camera.

I am familiar with the auto-focus red light (versus the strobe) to focus in low light situations. See attached review, which at the bottom suggests the feature does not work on King Pro. It may work with other wireless triggers - see link. http://flashhavoc.com/pixel-king-pro-ettl-trigger-review/

No, it does not. If there is not enough light the pictures will come out dark. A red dot will flash, but that just means you are taking the picture.

Yes, I do so all the time. In fact, I have not had much luck figuring out using this flash on camera and getting the control over exposure I need. However, I pound on it all night long off camera using Nikon's AWL to control it in TTL mode and sometimes manual mode. It's well worth the money unless it's your first and only flash then I suggest getting a Nikon flash or something else like a Phottix maybe although I have not tested one of those they seem well respected by the brand worshippers who prefer the camera brand :) I have not tested the flash responding to a Canon camera but when am around a Canon user I will give it a try. I leave it in cn mode (Canon and Nikon) and it works just fine as a remote flash.

I'm glad you asked this question because I wasn't aware of this function and had to read my manual, which you can download here: http://www.olympus.co.jp/en/support/imsg/digicamera/download/manual/dslr.cfm#eflash Answer is, yes, the led light will turn on to assist focus in low light BUT as far as I can tell, although there is an automatic setting as an option, it won't go on automatically. IF you set it to M, or manual, you can press the right side of the settings ring and it will stay on. It is EXTREMELY fiddly rotating through the settings with that small wheel and then having to press each of the four positions to change settings.

For low light it will do for sure. I do beluce for sone action too, but not to much. Photographing groups pf friend together i had no problems lime "phantons" ir shades of people moving. It is not a pro camera but a long step from regular ines. If you know how to operate in manual yoy will be able to do it.My experience is only on automatic mode.

No. You can adjust many things manually - ISO. Exposure etc. the flash has two red eye reduction modes.

I have used it on the Pentax KX and the Pentax K30 with no problems. With the remote flash setup we use we had to set it in manual mode but other than that it works fine. I reccomend using or making a diffuser with it to assist in the control of light. At close range it can be pretty harsh, but that is the same for most any of these type of flashes. I didn't need to use a sync cord it worked fine without it.

You should have no problems. Device can be invaluable in checking exposure when shooting in bright outdoor environments. If you shoot in manual this can be a life saver. Quite frankly, anyone shooting primarily in auto should not waste the money.

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. However remember that you will loose any automated feature of the body/lens combination, as autofocus and probably auto light metering
224455
Yes. You have a manual setting were you can control the shutter and the light opening.

Yes in a way! It has a setting on it to switch to be in a slave mode but it is best to always use a remote like a pocket wizard or cactus! This is a great flash for the price, I have been shooting pro for 29 years and shoot nikon but recently bought a few of these! Work great!
1281399
Yes, but there is no TTL. Either use the built-in camera meter or a light meter, like a Sekonic. Or, as the ultimate fallback plan, just adjust the power output until the exposure is correct.

Yes, it goes to red first,mbut have to cycle through the rest to turn off. I guess you could close your eyes before switching to preserve night vision.

I just came back from a vacation and shot over 1000 photographs using a G9 and the 220ex. I did not notice any red eyes in my photographs during evening photographs. I used the flash on all my shots, to fill in and they all came out great.

Yes, It can be a master flash. and is able to control compatible flashes. It's optical control the same that comes in Canon 580 EX II. Its not a radio transmitter.

Yes. But you SHOULD deactivate the autofocus system on your camera body first (usually a lever just below the lens lock release) this will retract the slot driver that spins to focus the lens. If you want (NOT RECOMENDED) you could just over power the motor and spin the focus ring. I've done this at high stress moments and when the camera isn't cooperating. It's probably very bad for the lens' focus gears and the motor driver in the camera body though.
