Ratio Wireless E-TTL II: MiniTT1 OOFlexTT5

Flash on Camera

This mode uses Canon’s Wireless Flash Ratio with E-TTL II system. Place remote flashes into different slave groups and control the balance of light among the groups or zones.

OPlease read your Canon manuals for more information

on Flash Ratio with E-TTL II and how to control groups from the master flash.

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. Enable slave groups in the master Speedlite per flash manual instructions.

3.Set the remote FlexTT5 radios to the desired slave group (A, B, C) by using the Zone Switch on the side. Note that PocketWizard Zones are used instead of Canon slave groups.

4.Slide the remote Speedlite onto a FlexTT5, 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>.

The slave group is set by the Zone Switch and not in the remote flash. All remote E-TTL II flashes on the same Zone will be treated as one zone of light.

5.Adjust ratios using the master Speedlite’s flash controls.

6.Trigger normally

You may use Canon’s Speedlite Transmitter, the ST-E2, instead of a 580EX to control ratios.
