Instead I have been offered the loan of Pentax dedicated flash (for a KX1 camera) which apparently worked well with a Canon T3i a couple of years ago, just wondering if anyone has any insight on compatability or any settings that may need adjusting?
if you know it worked with a canon t3i back then, and the hotshoes on both the t3i and t3 are identical, then the flash should probably work the same on the t3 ... though i don't know what "apparently worked well" means ...
typically, different brand flashes have different pin alignments and different ways of talking to the camera ... if the pins don't line up or the flash doesn't "talk" well to the camera, then it might still function as a manual flash ... in which case you decide the flash power and zoom with the buttons on the flash and the camera just tells the flash when to fire ...
hope this helps ...
