Promo information for Canon 60D indicates to me that its wireless technology can fully control Canon Speedlites, but I've been told by Canon techs that it can't control the power of my 430EXII when power is being set manually. I'd like to use 430EXII as an off-camera slave, triggered by the camera's pop-up flash (with flash deactivated). It seems like this should be possible, but I can't figure out how.
Your flash will fire optically. This is wireless but not radio.On the flashgun window move through the options until you see all of these in the window :- Flashing M, MZoom (24mm)
(the power output eg) 1/4
Flashgun icon CH1 Slave (blank)
The front panel should show a flashing red light. This means it is ready to receive the light signal from your onboard flash. From the camera menu select the in built flash control.
Set it to - Built-in flash - CustWireless
Flash mode - Manual flash
Wireless func - (single flashgun icon)
Channel- 1 ch
firing group - (flashgun icon)All
(flashgun icon) flashoutput - 1/64
selecting 1/64 should be sufficient to trigger the flash gun but not light the scene.
Manually pop up the onboard flash
In the view finder you'll see a number of green bars when half pressing the shutter and wait for them to go down to one which mean the camera and flashgun are communicating, fully press to take the shot and the flash (off camera) should fire.

Pop up flash locking mechanism needs adjustment or to be replaced . You
might be able to do this yourself but the top cover has to come off
completely ( the mechanism I am talking about is on the inside of the
top cover and is not expensive ).
One reason for sending it in is
that if the mechanism ( small electro magnet and the lock ) has to be
replaced you will need spare parts and these are not freely available.

After I have detached my external flash (Nissin Digital Speedlite Di622), my Canon EOS 60D does not recognize the fact that the external flash is already detached. Thus, this does not allow the built-in flash to pop out when needed.
I have tried turning the power off and on again. The problem persists.
