Every wonder why the display on your Canon Speedlite 580EX or 430EX flash is blinking at you? Ever want to throw it against the wall because you can’t get it to stop? Here’s the solution.
Warning: It’s a bit of a rant.

hey so WHAT do I do about it? I hear ya frustrated! but now i get it, is the only way to “reset” it from blinking to remove the battery cover — seems it works but seems such an archaic practice to get a reset to occur.
pt #2 – the recommendation is to only use the bounce card when shooting with 90 angle? seems dumb or did i miss somn?
Ben, for me it stops blinking if I just push the panel back in. No need to remove the battery cover. Maybe your flash is funky. On point 2, I agree, seems dumb.
