Thank you for purchasing a Canon product.The Canon Speedlite 580EX is an EOS-dedicated, high-output flash unitautomatically compatible with E-TTL II, E-TTL, and TTL autoflash. It can beused in three different ways: As a normal on-camera flash, the master unitfor a wireless, multi-Speedlite flash system, or a slave unit.

Read this instruction manual while also referring to your camera'sinstruction manual.Before using the Speedlite, read this instruction manual and your camera'sinstruction manual to familairize yourself with the Speedlite operations.The basic operation is the same as with normal AE shooting.When the 580EX is attached to an EOS camera, almost all automaticexposure 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 as a built-in, high-output flash.It is automatically compatible with the camera's flash metering mode(E-TTL II, E-TTL, and TTL).The camera controls the Speedlite automatically in the following flash meteringmodes:1. E-TTL II autoflash (evaluative flash metering with preflash reading/lensdistance 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 thecamera's instruction manual. The Speedlite's major specifications arelisted in "External Flash Items."The camera instruction manual's chapter on flash photography will refer tocameras having 1 and 2 as a Type-A camera (compatible with E-TIL orE-TTL II). And cameras having 3 (compatible with only TTL) are calledType-B cameras.* This instruction manual assume that you are using the 580EX with aType-A camera.For Type-B cameras, see page 53.

Using E-TTL II and ETTL Autoflash in the Shooting Modes I iJust set the camera's shooting mode to (aperture-priority AE), (shutter-priority AE), or (manual) and you can use E-TTL II/E-TTLautoflash.

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 obtainTv 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 displaystops blinking.Select this mode when you want to set the aperture manually.

I The camera will then automatically set the shutter speed matching the aperture to obtaina standard exposure.If the background is dark like a night scene, a slow sync speed will be used to obtain astandard exposure of both the main subject and background. Standard exposure of theAv main subject is obtained with the flash, while a standard exposure of the background is

obtained with a slow shutter speed.e Since a slow shutter speed will be used for low-light scenes, using a tripod isrecommended.$ If the shutter speed display blinks, it means that the background exposure will beunderexposed or overexposed. Adjust the aperture until the shutter speed displaystops blinking.Select this mode when you want to set both the shutter speed and aperture manually.M Standard exposure of the main subject is obtained with the flash.

About Wireless FlashWith multiple Canon Speedlites having the wireless flash feature, you cancreate various lighting effects with the same ease as using normal E-TTL IIautoflash.The settings you input with the 580EX (master unit) attached to the camera arealso transmitted to the slave units which are controlled by the master unit viawireless. Thus, you need not operate the slave units at all during the shoot.The basic wireless set-up is illustrated below. Then all you do is set the masterunit to and wireless E-TTL II autoflash will be enabled (p.34). Notethat with Type-A cameras prior to the EOS-1D Mark II and EOS ELAN 7NEIELAN 7N/30V/33V, E-TTL autoflash will be used instead.Basic Wireless Settings & Setup
