About slave group control
If you set three slave flashes to group A, all three slave flashes are
controlled as if they were one camera flash.
Notes:
• When you use the RATIO A:B C setting, group A, B, and C fire
flashes synchronously. When you use the RATIO A:B setting,
group C does not fire a flash.
•If group C is facing the shooting subject, over exposure may
occur.
• Some EOS film cameras that support Auto-flash (E-TTL
(Canon)), do not support multiple flash wireless shooting
using a flash ratio setting.
The flash ratio of 8:1 to 1:1 to 1:8 is equivalent to 3:1 to 1:1 to 1:3
(1/2 step increment).
Using wireless flash shooting in Manual
mode (Canon)
If you are using multiple slave flashes and you want each slave
flash to output at a different level, use Manual flash mode and
assign a different group and flash output to each flash.
On the master flash:
1 Set the flash mode to Manual (M). See Selecting a flash mode
on page 12.
2 Press the FN 4 button one or more times until MENU 1 is
displayed on the LCD.
3 Press the FN 2 (RATIO)
button one or more
times to select the
firing groups. You can
select:
• RATIO OFF: All slave
flashes fire with the
same flash output.
• RATIO A/B: Two
slave flashes that fire
with different flash
outputs.
• RATIO A: B C: Three
slave flashes that fire
with different flash
outputs.
