[2] Wireless E-TTL Autoflash

Wireless E-TTL autoflash with multiple Speedlite 550EXs can be used in one of two ways:

(1)

OFF

:

All slave units fire at the same flash output.

(2)

ON

:

Slave units with different slave IDs (A, B, or C) can be

 

 

 

fired at different flash outputs to produce a flash ratio.

A flash ratio can be set only with the EOS-1D, 1V, 3, D60, D30, ELAN 7/7E, and 30/33.

With the EOS ELAN II/ELAN IIE, 50/50E, 300/REBEL 2000, 500N/REBEL G, 3000N/66/REBEL XSN, IX, and IX 7/IX Lite, a flash ratio cannot be set with the master unit.

1. Wireless E-TTL Autoflash With Flash Ratio OFF

If no flash ratio is desired, the slave ID does not matter. It can be A, B, or C. All the slave units will fire at the same flash output. The E-TTL autoflash system controls the total flash amount automatically to obtain a correct flash exposure.
