I have recently bougt Canon R7 and I am really happy with it. I have my speedlite 580 EX but I can not get it to work with the R7. It has "flash firing" disable (and is gray). If I click on it it says "not awailable because of the assiciated functions setting: shutter mode).

However, it seems the flash is working in auto mode (the green) and i Scenery (portrait), but not in any other mode such as M, AV, TV etc. This has always worked on my other Canon cameras.

Does anyone know what the promblem can be?

Sounds like you're in electronic shutter (ES) mode, which doesn't support flash on this body. I don't have mine to hand to check exactly where the menu setting is, but it will be somewhere in the shooting menus.
