Hello...
I am trying to get my 550D to fire external, non-canon, studio strobe units. I am given to understand there is a feature called
"3rd party flash in LV"  or something like that...can anyone help me find this in the menus? My goal is to be able to frame and focus in live view and hit the shutter button to take a flash image using external strobes.
thanks
George

The T2i can not fire studio strobe lighting in live view mode. the issue is that other cams like 7d, 40D , 5d etc allow to disable (enable?)
silent mode and also disable exposure simulation (not sure if that is required or not) but T2i does not allow. What I would love to see is the ability to enable live view, see well enough to use magic lantern to manual focus and then fire off a still shot using studio strobe units.
What do you think?
thnx
George

I have been using ML on T2i for several shoots and find it incredibly useful and wondered if any projects have been initiated for
the 1D mark iii? in particular it would be great to have focus peaking available for still shooting. any info would be welcome!
