580ex II meters to feet setting

[timaylen]

I have changed the distance scale on my 580 flash from meters to feet using the c.Fn and select button but that method doesn't work with the Mark II unit.

Does anyone know how to do this on the II?

Thanks.

I use metric, but it should be as follows:

C.Fn-00 set to 0 for meters, 1 for feet

I just tried it on mine (EX II), and it works fine. I found that when I switched to feet, the distance along the bottom of the display changed from m to ft.

Hope that helps.

Thanks so much. That was easy! Also, note to self. Read the manual. Its in there! Page 27
