A great way to have an introduction with using a flash for the first time. Having the Automatic calculations built in helps to take the apprehension away of learning to use an attached flash unit. With the ability to use a semi-automatic mode will be good for the learning curve. The flash operates very fast. Recommend for beginners and experienced flash users.

I just received the Canon 470EX-AI flash unit. I can not get the AI.B to work. The purpose of this product is to AI bounce, doesn't seem to work.Instructions are easy enough but the AI.B button when switched to AI.B FULL does not light up. Does not do what the manual said it would do with measuring the distance between the subject and ceiling.

The 470EX-AI Speedlite is the best flash ever made by Canon for anyone wanting to learn how to get excellent Bounce Flash results. It is fully automated, moving the flash head to the perfect position for any given room. Over time, if you pay attention to what scene you are photographing and the type of walls and ceiling height, you can pick up on what it's doing. Eventually, I could successfully predict the angle and position the flash head should point, giving me the confidence to upgrade to a better Speedlite and use it successfully. If you want to learn bounce flash photography, this is a fantastic flash.

Very nice flash, especially the AI auto. Most pics come out ok, but some do not. Not consistent lighting, sometimes darker sometimes lighter. Still trying to figure it out. Overall, it is a nice flah and works great with my Canon 5DMk4.

Being new to photography, this flash setup gives me the option to allow the system to set my flash positioning for the best quality images.
