*1: If the Speedlite does not have a transmission channel setting function, the camera can work with any channel.

*2: In small rooms, the slave unit may work even if its wireless sensor does not face the camera. The camera’s wireless signals can bounce off the walls and be received by the slave unit. With EX-series Speedlite having a fixed flash head and wireless sensor, make sure it fires, then take the picture.
