Wireless Flash Photography

Canon's EX series Speedlites have made multiple-flash photography simple, wireless

and automatic. Using the Speedlite 580EX II, Macro Speedlite MR-14EX, Macro Twin

Lite MT-24EX, or the Speedlite Transmitter ST-E2 as a master unit, wireless signals

are transmitted to an unlimited number of Speedlites 580EX II or 430EX II, creating

myriad possibilities for lighting, no matter the location. For the ultimate convenience,

both the EOS 7D and EOS 60D have an Integrated Speedlite Transmitter, which has

the transmitting features of the Speedlite 580EX II, allowing users to wirelessly

control EX series Speedlites and doing away with the need for an external master unit.

Sample Photo Analysis – Three flash units provided illumi-

nation. The light from the master flash unit (A), a Speedlite

580EX II mounted on the camera, was bounced off the wall

to soften its intensity before reaching the two violin makers.

A slave 580EX II (B) was set far enough away on a desk to

be pointed directly at the statue, and another 580EX II (B)

was used to light up the overall office. Based on the results

displayed on the camera's LCD monitor, the brightness of

the master flash unit was halved to achieve natural lighting.

E-TTL/E-TTL II Wireless Autoflash Control

Up to three groups (for main, fill and background)

of slave units can be set up for comprehensive

control of flash lighting. The Speedlite slave units

can be assigned to group A, B, or C, with output

ratio between groups A and B adjustable from

8:1 to 1:1 or 1:1 to 1:8. The output of the group C

can be adjusted through flash exposure compen-

sation. Superb lighting is simple thanks to the

E-TTL/E-TTL II autoflash system which controls the

total flash output to ensure consistently correct

exposure. Both the EOS 7D and EOS 60D, with

their Integrated Speedlite Transmitters, can control

and trigger external Speedlites wirelessly through

their built-in pop up flash. The EOS 60D can wire-

lessly control the ratio between A and B groups,

along with the built-in unit's own output, while the

EOS 7D can control A, B, and C groups. Both

cameras also feature a modeling flash feature for

previewing the output of your external Speedlites,
