10 Cordless flash mode
Wireless remote operation is compatible with
the Canon E-TTL remote system.
The remote system consists of a master flash
unit on the camera and one or more slave
flash units. The slave flash unit(s) are con-
trolled via wireless technology by the reflec-
tor of the master flash unit.
The slave flash unit is assigned to one of
three possible groups (A, B or C).
Each group can in turn consists of one or
more slave flash units.
The entire remote system can be operated
either with E TTL mode or M mode.
A change to the type of flash mode must be
made on the master in slave group A. The
change made in slave group A then applies
to the entire system, which also means slave
groups B and C and the master.
There are four independent remote channels
to use so that multiple remote systems in the
same room do not interfere with one another.
Master and Slave flash units belonging to the
same remote system must be set to the same
remote channel.
The slave flash units must be able to receive
the light from the master flash unit with the
integrated sensor for remote mode. Remote
flash mode also supports second curtain syn-
chronisation. In remote flash mode, the
maximum flash range is not indicated on the
flash unit's display panel.
