Wireless Flash

With multiple Canon Speedlites having the wireless flash feature, you can create various lighting effects with the same ease as using normal E-TTL II autoflash.

The settings you input with the master unit attached to the camera are also automatically transmitted to the slave units which are controlled by the master unit via wireless. Therefore, you need not operate the slave unit(s) at all during the shoot.

For details on wireless flash photography and operating the master unit, see the master unit’s instruction manual. The procedure below applies to a master unit attached to the camera and slave unit(s) controlled by wireless.
