Does your EOS digital camera fire TTL flash units?

EDIT: Okay. I’ve got enough info, and it appears that the breakpoint was between the 400D and 450D, and the 30D and 40D. (in other words, consumer bodies before the 450D won’t fire TTL flash units at all, and the same goes for midrange bodies before the 40D)

Thanks!

I’m trying to compile a list of which digital EOS bodies will fire TTL only (E or EZ) flash units at full power, and which won’t fire them at all.

It appears that the digital 1 series units will fire TTL flash units at full power, whereas earlier digital consumer bodies don’t fire them at all. However, at some point it seems Canon enabled full-power firing on consumer bodies.

So. If you’ve got a digital EOS body and a TTL-only flash unit (ie: any flash unit that’s NOT an EX model), could you tell me if the camera will fire the flash unit in TTL mode? The flash unit mustn’t be in manual mode, since all EOS bodies will fire Speedlites in manual mode. It’s important to mention what camera model and Speedlite model you’re using.

Please post a comment or use the feedback form.

Thanks in advance!
