The Canon Speedlite 600EX II-RT is an EOS-dedicated external 
Speedlite, compatible with E-TTL II/E-TTL/TTL autoflash systems. The 
Speedlite can be used as an on-camera flash that attaches to the hot 
shoe of the camera (normal shooting), and as a master/slave unit 
during radio transmission/optical transmission wireless flash 
photography. In addition to these functions, the Speedlite also has dust 
and water resistance equivalent to EOS-1D series cameras.
