Wireless Flash Photography
This section covers wireless flash photography with the 550EX. It explains the
550EX’s built-in master and slave flash features. A wireless flash system with
multiple Speedlite 550EXs can be used as easily as a single, on-camera
Speedlite 550EX.
With Type-B cameras, the 550EX offers the following wireless flash features:
[1] Wireless System Setup and Testing (page 100)
[2] Wireless Manual Flash (page 107)
[3] Wireless Stroboscopic Flash (page 109)
[4] Independent Settings With a Slave Unit (page 110)
• This section assumes that the Speedlite 550EX is used with the EOS-1N.
