8 Install four size-AA batteries. 1 Open the cover . Use your thumb to press the battery compartment lock lever , then slide it as shown by the arrow c to open the cover . 2 Install the batteries. Make sure the + and – battery contact s are properly oriented as shown in the compartment.
9 1 Atta ch the Speedlite. Slip the S peedlite’s mounting foot into the camera’s hot shoe all the way . 2 Secure the Speedlite. On the mounting foot, slide the lock lever to the right. X When the lock lever c licks in place, it will be locked. 3 Detach the S peedlite.
10 1 Set the power switch to < K >. X The flash recycling start s. 2 Check that the flash is ready . The pilot lamp will first turn green (ready for quick flash), th en red (flash ready). Pressing the pilot lamp will fire a test flash. Quick flash enables a flash to be fir ed before flash-ready , when the pilot lamp is still green.
11 When you set the camera’s shooting mode to < V > (Program AE) or < U > (Full Auto), E-TTL II/E-TTL fully automatic flash will make it as easy as normal AE shooting in the < V > and < U > modes. 1 Set the Speedlite to < a >.
12 Just set the camera’s shooting mode to < W > (aperture-priority AE), < X > (shutter-priority AE), or < q > (manual) and you can use E-TTL II/ E-TTL autoflash. If you use the < Z > or < Y > shooting mode, the resu lt will be the same as using the < V > (Program AE) mode.
13 Using Flash f Flash Exposure Compen sation ...................... 14 g FEB ................................. ............................... 15 7 : FE Lock ......................... ............................... 16 c High-speed Sync ......... ...
14 In the same way as normal exposure compensation, you can set exposure compensation for flash. The flash exposure compensation amount can be set up to ±3 stops in 1/3-stop increments. (If the camera’s exposure compensation is in 1/2-stop increment s, flash exposure compensation will be in 1/2-stop increments.
15 Y ou can take three flash shots while automatically changing the flash output for each shot up to ±3 stops in 1/3-stop increments (1/2-stop increments if the camera enables only 1/2-stop increments). This is called FEB (Flash Exposure Bracketing).
16 FE (flash exposure) lock locks the co rrect flash exposure setting for any part of the scene. With < a > displayed on the LCD panel, you press the camera’ s < 7 > button. If the camera does not have the < 7 > button, press the < P > button.
17 With high-speed sync (FP flash), t he flash can synchronize with all shutter speeds. This is convenient when you want to use aperture priority for fill-flash portraits. Select < c >. Press the < E > button so that < c > is displayed.
18 By pointing the flash head toward a wall or ceiling, the flash will bounce off the surface before illuminating t he subject. This can sof ten shadows behind the subject for a more natural- looking shot. This is called bounce flash. Set the Bounce Direction Hold down the < z > button and turn the flash head.
19 With the catchlight panel, you can cr eate a catchlight in the subject’s eyes to add life to the facial expression. 1 Point the flash head upward by 90°. 2 Pull out the wide pa nel. X The catchlight panel will come out at the same time. 3 Push the wide pa nel back in.
20 The flash coverage can be set to match the lens focal length from 24mm to 105mm. The flash coverage can be set automatically or manually . Also, with the built-in wid e panel, the flash coverage can be expanded for 14mm wide-angle lenses. Press the < G > button.
21 EOS DIGIT AL cameras have one of three image sizes. The lens’ effective focal length will dif fer depending on the camera’s image size. The S peedlite automatically recognizes the EOS DIGIT AL camera’s image size and automatically sets the flash coverage for lens focal lengths from 24mm to 105mm.
22 Y ou can set the flash output from 1/128 power to 1/1 full power in 1/3- stop increments. Use a hand-held flash meter to deter mine the required flash output to obtain a correct flash exposure. 1 Press the < D > button so that < q > is displayed.
23 When the S peedlite is attached to an EOS-1D series camera, you can set the flash level manually for closeup subjects. 1 Set the camera and Speedlite. Set the camera’s shooting mode to < q > or < W >. Set the S peedlite to manual flash.
24 With stroboscopic flash, a rapid series of flashes is fired. It can be used to capture multiple images of a moving subject in a single photograph. Y ou can set the firing frequency (number of flashes per sec. expressed as Hz), the number of flashes, and the flash output.
25 If the number of flashes is displayed as - -, the maxi mum number of flashes will be as shown by the table below re gardless of the firing frequency .
26 With a slow shutter speed, you can create a light trail following the subject. The flash fires right before the shutter closes. Press the < E > button so that < r > is displayed. r Second-Curtain Sync Second-curtain sync work s well in the camera’ s “ buLb ” mode.

29 C.Fn-02-3: Convenient when you want to check the depth of field. (p.44) C.Fn-12: If an external power source is used, the flash recycling is powered concurrently by the in ternal batteries and external power source. In this case, when the internal batteries become exhausted first, shooting might not be possible.
30 The flash reflected off the subject is metered by an external metering sensor in real time. When the standar d flash exposure is attained, the flash output is cutoff automatically . Auto external metering compatible with the EOS-1D Mark III and manual ex ternal metering compatible with all EOS cameras are provided.

34 With multiple Canon S peedlites havi ng the wireless flash feature, you can create various lighting effect s with the same ease as using normal E-TTL II autoflash.
35 Y ou can create two or three slave groups and set the flash ratio for E- TTL II autoflash shooting (p.41 - 45). Wireless flash with two slave groups (p.41) Wireless flash with three slave groups (p.43) Multi-Speedlite, Wireless Lighting Configurations 80 o 10m A B 15m (32.
36 Y ou can switch between normal fl ash and wireless flash. For normal shooting, be sure to set the wireless setting to OFF . 1 Press the < H > button for 2 sec. or longer until the display blinks as shown on the lef t. 2 Set it as the master unit.
37 This method has all the S peedlites fi re at the same flash output with E- TTL II autoflash controlling the total flash output. 1 Set the camera-att ached 580EX II as the master unit. 2 Set the other 580EX II Speedlites(s) as the wireless slave unit(s).
38 7 Check the flash operation. Press the master unit’s test firing button. X The slave unit will fire. If the flash does not fire, adjust the slave unit’s angle toward the master unit and distance from the master unit. 8 Set the camera and shoot.
39 The slave unit’s auto power of f time can be changed. (C.Fn-10 → p.27) The time during which the slave unit’s auto power off ca n be canceled by the master unit can be changed. (C.Fn-1 1 → p.27) Y ou can disable the master unit from fi ring so that only the slave unit(s) will fire a flash.
40 Flash exposure compensation and other settings set with the master unit will also be automatically set in the slave units. Thus, you need not operate the slave unit(s). Wireless flash with the following settings can be done in the same way as with normal flash shooting.
41 With one master unit and one slave unit or two slave groups, you can set the flash ratio for E- TTL II autoflash shooting. The example below has two slave units and the master unit disabled from firing. T wo slave units can be assigned to di f ferent slave groups by setting the slave ID.
42 3 Set the slave ID. Press the < 8 > button. X Slave ID < 1 > will be set. For the other slave unit, do steps 1 and 2, turn the < 9 > dial to select < 2 >, then press the < 8 > button. Slave ID < 2 > will be set. 1 Set the wireless mode to < M >.
43 Y ou can have slave groups A and B and al so add slave group C. Y ou can use slave groups A and B to obtain the st andard flash exposure of the subject, and slave group C to illuminate th e background to eliminate shadows.
44 2 Set the master unit and shoot. Follow “Setting the Master Unit and Shooting” on page 42. In step 4, select < k >. If the camera has a depth-of-field preview button, pressing it will fire the flash continuously for 1 sec. Th is is called the modeling flash.
45 With manual flash and multiple S peed lites, you can set a different flash output for each slave unit. All settings are done with the master unit. 1 Press the < D > button so that < q > is displayed. 2 Press the < G > button so that < y > blinks.
46 Manual flash or stroboscopic flash can be set manually with the slave unit. As with studio flash units, you ca n set the flash output individually with the slave units for wireless or manual flash. Hold down the < D > button for 2 sec. or more.
