4Select [Built-in flash settings].
 Select [ Built-in flash settings], then 
press < 0>.
5Select [EasyWireless].
  Under [ Built-in flash ], select 
[EasyWireless ], then press .
6Set [Channel].
  Set the transmission channel (1-4) to 
the same one as the slave unit.
7Take the picture.
 Set the camera and take picture in 
the same way as with normal 
shooting.
8Exit the wireless flash shooting.
 For [ Built-in flash ], select 
[NormalFiring ].
 Setting [ E-TTL II meter. ] to [Evaluative] is recommended.
  Even though the firing of the built-in flash is disabled when 
[EasyWireless ] is set, it will still fire a small flash to control the slave unit. 
Depending on shooting conditions, the fl ash fired to control the slave unit 
may appear in the picture.
  Firing a test flash is not possible with the slave unit.

Easy Wireless Flash Shooting
You can have multiple slave units fire as if they were a single Speedlite. 
This is convenient when you need a large flash output.
Basic settings:
Flash mode : E-TTL II
E-TTL II meter. : Evaluative
Built-in flash : EasyWireless
Channel : (Same as slave units)
All the slave units will fire at the same 
output and be controlled to obtain a 
standard exposure.
No matter what the slave ID is (A, B, or 
C), all the slave units will fire as one 
group.
If the flash exposure looks too dark or too bright, you can set flash 
exposure compensation to adjust  the slave units’ flash output.
  Select [ Flash exposure 
compensation ], then press .
 
If the flash exposure is too dark, press the 
<
Z> key to increase the flash exposure 
and make it brighter. If the flash exposure is 
too bright, press the <
Y> key to decrease 
the flash exposure and make it darker.

This section describes fully automatic 
wireless flash shooting with one external 
Speedlite and the built-in flash.
You can change the flash ratio between 
the external Speedlite and built-in flash 
to adjust how the shadows look on the 
subject.
On the menu screens, the  and 
< 1 > icons refer to the external 
Speedlite, and the < 3> and < 2> 
icons refer to the built-in flash.
1Select [CustWireless].
  Follow step 5 on page 232 to select 
[CustWireless], then press < 0>.
2Select [Wireless func.].
  Under [ Wireless func.], select 
[0 :3], then press < 0>.
3Set the desired flash ratio and 
take the picture.
  Select [ 0:3 ] and set the flash ratio 
within 8:1 to 1:1. Setting a flash ratio 
to the right of 1:1 is not possible.
 
If the built-in flash output is not enough, 
set a higher ISO speed (p.92).

Custom Wireless Flash Shooting
Multiple Speedlite slave units can be treated as one flash unit or 
separated into slave groups whose flash ratio can be set.
The basic settings are shown below. By changing the [Firing group ] 
setting, you can shoot with various wi reless flash setups with multiple 
Speedlites.
Basic settings:
Flash mode : E-TTL II
E-TTL II meter. : Evaluative
Wireless func. : 0
Channel : (Same as slave units)
[ 1 All] Using multiple slave Speedlites as one flash unit
This is convenient when you need a 
large flash output. All the slave units will 
fire at the same output and be controlled 
to obtain a standard exposure.
No matter what the slave ID is (A, B, or 
C), all the slave units will fire as one 
group.
Set [Firing group] to [1All], then 
take the picture.

[1  (A:B)] Multiple slave units in multiple groups
Divide the slave units into groups A and 
B and change the flash ratio to obtain 
the desired lighting effect.
Refer to your Speedlite’s instruction 
manual to set one slave unit’s slave ID 
to A (Group A) and the other slave unit’s 
ID to B (Group B), and position them as 
shown in the illustration.
1Select [Wireless func.].
 Follow step 2 on page 234 to select 
[0 ], then press < 0>.
2Set [Firing group] to [1  (A:B)].
3Set the desired flash ratio and

 Select [ A:B fire ratio ] and set the 
flash ratio.

If [Firing group ] is set to [1 (A:B) ], group C will not fire.
The 8:1 to 1:1 to 1:8 flash ratio is equivalent to 3:1 to 1:1 to 1:3 stops (1/2-
stop increments).

setting, you can shoot with various wireless flash setups of multiple 
Speedlites complemented with the built-in flash.

When [Flash mode] is set to [E-TTL II], flash exposure compensation 
can be set. The flash exposure co mpensation settings (see below) 
which can be set will differ depending on the [ Wireless func.] and 
[Firing group ] settings.
[Flash exp. comp.]
 The flash exposure compensation is 
applied to the built-in flash and all 
external Speedlites.
[2  exp. comp.]
 The flash exposure compensation is 
applied to the built-in flash.
[1  exp. comp.]
 The flash exposure compensation is 
applied to all external Speedlites.
If [ Flash mode ] is set to [E-TTL II], you can press the  button to 
perform FE lock.

groups A and B.
[Wireless func. 0+3 ]
 [Firing group: 1 All and 2]: The 
flash output can be set separately for 
the external Speedlite(s) and built-in 
flash.
  [Firing group: 1  (A:B)2]: You can 
set the flash output separately for 
slave groups A and B. You can also
