:Optical Transmission Wireless Flash Shooting

Using a Canon Speedlite (master/slave) with an optical transmission wireless shooting function makes it easy to shoot with advanced wireless multiple flash lighting, in the same way as normal E-TTL II/E- TTL autoflash shooting.

The system is designed so that the settings of the 600EX-RT/600EX attached to the camera (master) are automatically reflected on the Speedlite that is wirelessly controlled (slave). Therefore, you do not need to operate the slave unit while shooting.

The basic preparations for shooting are shown below. You can then perform wireless E-TTL II/E-TTL autoflash shooting just by setting the master unit to <a>.

Position the slave unit using the supplied mini stand (p.11).

Use the horizontal bounce function (p.27) and point the sensor of the slave unit toward the master unit.

When shooting indoors, because the transmission signal is reflected off the walls, operation may be possible even with slightly imprecise positioning.
