Why won't my speedlite flash off-camera?
I have a Canon 450D and a Speedlite Di622. Supposedly, they're compatible. Also, they're both rather new [ less than a year ]. I've never used the Speedlite before but it's been used by a close family friend who's meticulous about taking care of her gear, so I'm positive it isn't damaged. Everything is charged and has new batteries, etc.
When I press "pilot", the speedlite flashes. Also, when it's actually connected to the camera and I press the release, the speedlite flashes. However, I can't seem to make it work off-camera. Is there something special I need to do?

1 AnswerInsurance1 decade agoYou're smart... Where could my phone be?
So here's the situation:
I live in an 1100 sq. foot apartment, on the 3rd floor of a building with a concierge.
I was at my apartment with 10 other people.
2 people were in the two separate bathrooms.
1 was in my bedroom.
1 was in the kitchen.
The rest were in the doorway, which is right across from the kitchen.
The doorway and the kitchen are right next to the dining room table.
I had my phone on the dining room table when I handed it to my friend
so that he could make a phone call. He walked into the kitchen to talk
and I left the room for a minute or two.
When I came back he told me that he put the phone on the table, and I
said okay because he's a very trustworthy, simple person.
Then a lot of the people left and I looked for my phone in my purse, which
was also on the table, but it wasn't there, so I left.
I went straight to my friends' building, which is two buildings away. I was
carrying the purse and a hat which held my belt, a dress, and stockings
for the next day.
My phone ran out of battery the next day so I couldn't call it to hear the ring.
It's been a week. I've asked all of my friends to double-check their stuff for my
phone and they have (they're all trustworthy people from church). I've thoroughly
searched my house and the house I stayed at that night. I asked the concierge.
I talked to my family members and the woman who cleans our house, who I also
trust.
Haven't found my phone anywhere. It makes absolutely no sense to me, but I know
that logically, phones must be SOMEWHERE. So I was wondering if any of you might
have an idea? lol.
This is unorthodox, I know.
7 AnswersOther - Social Science1 decade agoHow to look "punk" in a school uniform?
I KNOW I'M GONNA HAVE **** ABOUT THIS, SO,

4 AnswersComics & Animation1 decade agoSo I like a guy...?
So I have this friend who I kinda have a crush on. I want creative advice, if you would be so kind. When I say "creative advice", that means that I'm looking for answers which are a bit beyond "just be yourself". I'm looking for explanations to what guys that age like to see in a girl my age, ect.
It'll probably be good if I give a short description of us both.
He is a 16 year old Mexican boy who plays soccer. He has times when he's sweet, but for the most part he likes making fun of me. Primarily my height. Sometimes he bursts into random Spanish, and says he likes it when I speak in French. I'm not really sure why. He's quite taller than me, and I have to stretch my arm up into order to steal his baseball cap (which he is always wearing).
I am a 14 year old mixed (black and white) girl who likes the arts. I hate sports, but do everything artistic (drawing, acting, instruments, singing, writing, ect.) I'm not very good around people, and I am VERY short.
1 AnswerSingles & Dating1 decade agoWhere can I download chinese/japanese fonts?
I don't want anything fancy.

4 AnswersChina1 decade agoWhat do YOU like and dislike in a girl?
I'm not asking for the simple, "I like girls who are genuine" or "I like girls who can make me laugh" answers.
For example, I asked my friend this and he answered, "I hate it when girls put their hair up. I don't get why they do it."
And when I asked another friend he answered, "I like girls who can speak Spanish."
I'm not asking this for any reason at all. I just happen to have extra time on my hands and random questions in mind.
