Wireless Flash Shooting: Optic Transmission

This product supports wireless flash application and functions 

as either a master or a slave unit. As a master unit, it can control 

Canon speedlites e.g. 580EXII, 600EX-RT via wireless. As a slave 

unit, it can receive wireless signals of Canon speedlites e.g. 

580EXII, 600EX-RT and commanders of Canon cameras e.g. 

7D/60D/600D.

 You can set up two to three slave groups for E-TTL II autoflash 

shooting. With E-TTL II autoflash, you can easily create various 

lighting effects.  

 Any flash settings (of flash exposure compensation, high-speed 

sync, FE lock, FEB, manual flash, Multi flash) on the master unit 

will be automatically sent to the slave units. So the only thing you 

need to do is to set the master unit to ETTL mode without any 

operation for the slave units at all during the shooting.

 This flash can work in ETTL autoflash, M manual flash, and Multi 

stroboscopic flash modes when set as a master unit.

Positioning and Operation Range

 

Even with multiple slave units, the master unit can control 

all of them via wireless.

 

In this user manual, “master unit” refers to the camera flash 

on a camera and “slave unit” will be controlled by the 

master unit.
