Basic Wireless E-TTL II: MiniTT1 OOFlexTT5 (cont’d)

Flash on Camera

This mode is identical to the previous page, adding a flash to the top hot shoe of the MiniTT1. All remote E-TTL II flashes and the master flash will be treated as one zone of light and will fire at the same power level which is chosen automatically by the camera.

IMPORTANT: The Speedlite in the MiniTT1’s top shoe

must be in <MASTER> mode, otherwise the remote flashes will not trigger. Wait for the camera to sleep, turn OFF the MiniTT1, or remove the flash from the shoe before engaging <MASTER> mode.

OPlease read your Canon manuals for the steps to enter <MASTER> mode.

1.Slide the MiniTT1 Transmitter onto the camera and tighten the locking ring.

2.Slide a Canon Speedlite set for <MASTER> onto the MiniTT1 and secure its locking shoe.

3.Slide the remote Speedlite onto a FlexTT5 Transceiver, tighten the locking ring, and secure the FlexTT5. Repeat for each remote Speedlite. The remote Speedlites should be set to normal ETTL mode, not <MASTER> or <SLAVE>.

4.Trigger normally.

NOTE: You can use a 430EX (I or II) as a single zone master! These flashes do not have a master mode, and cannot usually trigger remote E-TTL II flashes. Enable Force TTL Master Mode in the PocketWizard Utility and they can.

This mode also benefits the 580EX (I or II) by reducing the “flickering pre-flash” normally associated with master mode. On that flash, set the wireless selector to <OFF> and enable Force TTL Master Mode. See the PocketWizard Utility help for more information.
