With multiple Canon Speedlites having the wireless flash feature, you can 
create various lighting effects with the same ease as using normal E-TTL II 
autoflash.
The settings you input with the master unit attached to the camera are also 
transmitted to the slave unit(s) controlled by wireless. Therefore, you need 
not operate the slave unit(s) at all during the shoot.
For details on wireless flash photography and operating the master unit, 
see the master unit’s instruction manual. The procedure below applies to a 
master unit attached to the camera and slave unit(s) controlled by wireless.
1
Set the master unit. 
 
Attach Speedlite 580EX, 550EX, ST-
E2, MR-14EX or MT-24EX to the 
camera and set it as necessary.
2
Set the 430EX as the slave unit.
 
Set the wireless selector to 
<N>.
3
Check the communication 
channel.
 
If the master unit and slave unit(s) are 
set to a different channel, set them all 
to the same channel (p.27).
4
Set the slave ID.
 
Set the slave ID when using two (A 
and B) or three (A, B, and C) slave 
groups (p.28).
5
Position the camera and 
Speedlites as desired.
 
Position the slave unit(s) within the 
master unit's wireless transmission 
range.
