Canon 450D and Canon 270EX

[rwg717]

Just needed a quick "heads-up" as to whether the 270EX flash can be made to fire on rear curtain when fitted to the 450D?
I don't have either of them with me but by the time I do I just need to know if it can be done?

Maybe a little late to the party but i dont see why not. Even the camera body flash can be set to rear curtain.

Thanks for that, it is exactly what I thought too, I did have the units together tonight but there is something wrong with the flash and probably bad batteries stopped the 270 from switching on.
I was just wondering if these 270's being a basic unit, are NOT capable of rear synch but some new batts. and try, try again....cheers:D

It should be in the 'custom functions' section of your menu

Won't be in the custom functions, it will be in the External Flash function menu

Yes I knew where to go to external flash functions but when I posted the thread I had never seen a 270EX and since they're not very expensive I thought they might not be capable of rear synch., thanks for all the help people:D
