In just Av exposure mode? or all exposure modes?

The YN565EX II works, it fires when the camera shutter button is pressed fully, but the camera takes a long (1 - 4 second) exposure as though the flash isn't present / has not fired. Test shots taken in dimly lit room.

That's normal for Av mode, which defaults to slow-sync fill flash unless you set a menu/custom function for Av to use fast sync with flash.  Only a problem if it's doing that in other exposure modes.
