Flash Mirror on 600D

[RobFlanders]

Hi all,

General non-ML specific question - I have a flash mirror that mounts to my hotshoe on my 600D.

However, when you mount something in the hotshoe the camera assumes there is an external flash, and promptly disables the built in flash. Is there any way to disable this behaviour, so that I can fire the built in flash when there is something in the hotshoe?

Hi, Rob!

Well, I have this flash mirror as well, but I hadn't any problem with the pop-up flash on my 500D

I'm gonna show you a video that I've made last year. It's in portuguese but I skipped to 50 seconds in the link:

The 500D it's not with me but will be in 15 days.

Things that you can try:
- Test only your pop-up flash
- Going to 'external flash optimization' and see if you can access the menu
- Post here pictures of your gear (Camera, Hot Shoe and Flash Mirror)

Until next time!
