flash metering of Canon flashes I have Canon 580EX, Canon 420EX, and Canon MR14-EX speedlites. Either the 580 or the MR14-EX can be master units although I would prefer using the MR14-EX on my camera as a master. My goal is to measure the light with a Sekonic Flash meter of the different flash units, in order to set accurate lighting ratios for each flash. But I do not know how to do this using Canon equipment. I last used the Sekonic Flash meter with my manual Nikon FM3A and a Sunpak 383 flash. Both the Nikon FM3A (alike the Canon 20D) and the Sunpak 383 have a PC terminal for connection with a sync cord. I attached the sync cord to the PC terminal in my Sekonic Flash meter and to my Sunpak 383 and measured the light. However, I don't know how to measure the light with my Canon equipment. When I did a search for PC terminal in the Canon 580EX nothing came up. Thanks. Bunny

Does the sekonic have a non-sync mode like the minolta? It waits for a flash to read.

Yes, it does. I had forgotten because it's been so long since I used it. That was easy. Thank you for replying Gregory. I'll play with this for awhile and refamiliarize myself with it. Thanks again. Bunny
