It’s been quite a while since I last updated my blog. I’ve been caught up with work lately. My schedule’s quite tight recently, due to the sudden change in my life and routine recently. I’m still trying to cope with the new change. That explains my irregular update and activities in the blog, as well as facebook.
Anyways, I’m gonna share this Custom Functions for Canon Speedlite 580EX II here. I own one unit of this speedlite myself, but I don’t quite remember the custom function (or Cn as displayed on the LCD panel).
