SBOEXII

Thank you for purchasing a Canon product. The Canon Speedlite 580EX II is an EOS-dedicated, high-output flash unit automatically compatible with E-TTL II, E-TTL, and TTL autoflash. It can serve as an on-camera flash as well as a master unit or a slave unit in a wireless, multiple-Speedlite system. It has the same dust- and water-resistance as EOS-1D series cameras. " Read this instruction manual while also referring to your camera's instruction manual. Before using the Speedlite, read this instruction manual and your camera's instruction manual to familiarize yourself with the Speedlite operations.

• The basic operation is as easy as with normal AE shooting. When the 580EX II is attached to an EOS camera, almost all automatic exposure control for flash photography is handled by the camera. It is almost the same as using the camera's built-in flash if it has one. You can think of the 580EX II as a built-in, high-output flash, but attached externally.

" It becomes automatically compatible with the camera's flash metering mode (E-TTL II, E-TTL, and TTL). In accordance with the camera's flash control system, the Speedlite controls the flash automatically in the respective flash metering mode: 1. E-TTL II autoflash (evaluative flash metering with preflash reading/lens distance information) 2. E-TTL autoflash (evaluative flash metering with preflash reading) 3. TTL autoflash (off-the-film metering for real-time flash metering)

Regarding the camera's available flash metering modes, refer to the "External Speed lite" specification in the "Specifications" of your camera's instruction manual. The camera instruction manual's chapter on flash photography will refer to cameras having flash metering modes 1 or 2 as a Type-A camera (compatible with E-TTL II or E-TTL). And cameras having flash metering mode 3 (compatible with only TTL) are called Type-B cameras. * This instruction manual assumes that you are using the Speedlite with a Type-A camera. For Type-B cameras, see page 55.

Cautions for firing continuous flashes ------,

" To avoid overheating and degrading the flash head, do not fire more than 20 continuous flashes. After 20 continuous flashes, allow a rest time of at least 10 min. • If you fire more than 20 continuous flashes and then fire more flashes in short intervals, the inner overheating prevention function may be activated to make the recycling time about 8 to 20 sec. If this occurs, allow a rest time of about 15 min. and the flash will then return to normal.

Installing the Batteries Install four size-AA batteries.

1 Open the cover. • Use your thumb to press the battery compartment lock lever, then slide it as shown by the arrow CD to open the cover.

2

Install the batteries. " Make sure the + and - battery contacts are properly oriented as shown in the compartment.

3 Close the cover. • Close the battery compartment cover and slide it as shown by the arrow. ~ When the cover clicks in place, it will be locked.

Recycling Time and Flash Count (with size-AA alkaline batteries) QoickFlash ... Approx. 0.1 - 2.5 sec.

Approx. 0.1 - 5 sec.

Approx. 100 - 700

• Based on new size-AA alkaline batteries and Canon's testing standards. • Quick flash enables a flash to be fired before flash-ready (p.1 0). . . • Using size-AA batteries other than the alkaline type may cause improper battery contact due to the irregular shape of the battery contacts. • If you change the batteries after firing many flashes continuously, be aware that the batteries might be hot.

til

~ ~

8

Use a new set of four batteries of the same brand. When replacing the batteries, replace all four at one time. Size-AA Ni-MH or lithium batteries can also be used.

Attaching to the Camera

The flash recycling starts.

Check that the flash is ready. • The pilot lamp will first turn green (ready for quick flash), then red (flash ready). • Pressing the pilot lamp will fire a test flash.

About Quick Flash Quick flash enables a flash to be fired before flash-ready, when the pilot lamp is still green. Although the Guide No. will be 1/6 to 1/2 that of the full output, quick flash is effective for near subjects and when you want a shorter recycle time. Set the drive mode to single shooting. Quick flash cannot be used in the continuous shooting, FEB, manual flash, and stroboscopic flash modes.

[IJi1

Quick flash can also be used during continuous flash shooting. (C.Fn-06 ~ p.27)

About Auto Power Off To save battery power, the power will turn off automatically after a certain period (approx. 1.5 min. to 15 min.) of idle use. To turn on the Speedlite again, press the camera's shutter button halfway. Or press the Speed lite's test firing button.

~~,

Check that the subject is within the effective range displayed on the LCD panel. Right before the shot is taken, a preflash is fired, then the main flash is fired. If a standard flash exposure was obtained, the flash exposure confirmation lamp will light for about 3 sec.

<ETTL> will be displayed on the LCD panel even if the camera is

compatible with E-TTL II. • If the flash exposure confirmation lamp does not light, move closer to the subject and take the picture again. With a digital camera, you can also increase the camera's ISO speed.

11

Using E-TTL II and E-TTL Autoflash in the Shooting Modes .. Just set the camera's shooting mode to < Av> (aperture-priority AE), (shutter-priority AE), or <M> (manual) and you can use E-TTL III E-TTL autoflash.

Tv ....

Av

Select this mode when you want to set the shutter speed manually. The camera will then automatically set the aperture matching the shutter speed to obtain a standard exposure. ~

If the aperture display blinks, it means that the background exposure will be underexposed or overexposed. Adjust the shutter speed until the aperture display stops blinking .

Select this mode when you want to set the aperture manually. The camera will then automatically set the shutter speed matching the aperture to obtain a standard exposure. If the background is dark like a night scene, a slow sync speed will be used to obtain a standard exposure of both the main subject and background. Standard exposure of the main subject is obtained with the flash, while a standard exposure of the background is obtained with a slow shutter speed. • Since a slow shutter speed will be used for low-light scenes, using a tripod is recommended. • If the shutter speed display blinks, it means that the background exposure will be underexposed or overexposed. Adjust the aperture until the shutter speed display stops blinking.

M

Select this mode if you want to set both the shutter speed and aperture manually. Standard exposure of the main subject is obtained with the flash. The exposure of the background is obtained with the shutter speed and aperture combination you set.

• If you use the < DEP > or < A·DEP > shooting mode, the result will be the same as using the < P > (Program AE) mode.

Calculating the Shutter Speed During stroboscopic flash, the shutter remains open until the firing stops. Use the formula below to calculate the shutter speed and set it with the camera. Number of flashes -:-- Firing frequency = Shutter speed For example, if the number of flashes is 10 and the firing frequency is 5 Hz, the shutter speed should be at least 2 sec.

24

-- To avoid overheating and deteriorating the flash head, do not use stroboscopic flash more than 10 times in succession. After 10 times, allow the Speedlite to rest for at least 15 min. If you try to use the stroboscopic flash more than 10 times in succession, the firing might stop automatically to protect the flash head. If this happens, allow the Speedlite to rest for at least 15 min.

Stroboscopic flash is most effective with a highly reflective subject against a dark background. Using a tripod, a remote switch, and external power source is recommended. A flash output of 1/1 or 1/2 cannot be set for stroboscopic flash. Stroboscopic flash can be used with "bulb." If the number of flashes is displayed as - -, the firing will continue until the shutter closes or the battery is exhausted. The number of flashes will be limited as shown by the table below.

About Wireless Flash With multiple Canon Speed lites 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 580EX II (master unit) attached to the camera are also automatically transmitted to the slave units which are controlled by the master unit via wireless. Therefore, you need not operate the slave unit(s) at all during the shoot. The basic wireless set-up is illustrated below. All you need to do is set the master unit to < ETTL > enable wireless E-TTL II autoflash (p.37). Note that with Type-A cameras prior to the EOS-1 0 Mark II and EOS ELAN 7NE/ELAN 7N/30V/33V, E-TTL autoflash will be used instead.

.. Any flash exposure compensation, high-speed sync (FP flash), FE lock, FEB, manual flash, and stroboscopic flash settings set with the master unit will all be automatically transmitted to the slave units. • Even with multiple slave units, all of them will be controlled in the same way via wireless. • A 580EX II set as a slave unit can also be controlled by wireless by Speedlite Transmitter ST-E2 (optional). .. Hereinafter, the "master unit" will refer to a 580EX II attached to the camera, and a "slave unit" will be a wireless 580EX II.
