Speedlite Transmitter ST-E2 is a wireless transmit- t e r which can control up to two Speedlite 550EX groups set as slaves. The transmitting range is about 12 to 15 meters / 39.4 to 49.2 ft indoors and 8 to 10 meters / 26.2 to 32.8 ft outdoors. With Type A cameras (EOS-3, EOS Elan IIIIIE, EOS 50/50E, EOS 500NlRebel G, EOS IX. EOS IX7AX Lite), the ST-E2 can execute the fol- lowing operations through wireless control:

E-?"rL autoflash High-speed sync (FP flash) FE lock Flash exposure compensation Manual flash (Flash output set with Speedlite) Multi-flash firing (Set with the Speedlites)

This Instructions booklet assume that a Type A cam- '

era is used with the ST-E2.

With Type H cameras (EOS cameras except 'I'ype A models), the ST-E2 can be used only for manual flash and multi-flash photography. See pages 23 to 27 in this booklet and the Speedlite 550EX Instructions.

Note All the operation instructions in this booklet assume that the ST-E2 and other relevant equipment a re already turned on. Before proceeding, make sure the ST-E2 and other equipment are on.

I I This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference receivcd, including interlilrence that may cause undesired operation.

Do not make any changes or modifications to the equipment unless otherwise specified in the instructions. If such changt.s or modifications should be made, you could be required to stop operation of the equipment.

This equipment has been tested and found to conlply with the limits for a class B digital device, pursuant to part 15 16 the FCC Rules. These limits arc designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications.

However, there is no guarantec that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encour;~g-ed to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:

Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna. Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver. Consult the dealer or an experienced radiolIli technician for help. 21

(I) Installing the Battery

Use one l i thium 2CR5 bat tery (sold separately).

1 Slide the battery compartment cover as shown by the arrow and remove.

Install the battery in the orien- tation shown in the compart- ment.

Install the battery compart- ment cover to close the battery compartment.

About the battery If t h e ba t t e ry contacts a r e soiled, improper electrical con- t ac t may resu l t . Before installing the battery, wipe the battery contacts with a clean cloth.

When to replace the battery Replace the battery if it takes 30 sec. or longer for t h e red pilot lamp to light af ter you set t h e main switch to < I > or < HOLD >.

(2) Attachment to the Camera

Push in the ST-E2's mounting 1 foot all the way into the camer- a 's hot shoe.

Slide the shoe lock slider a s shown by the arrow. (The lock pin protrudes to lock t h e ST- E2 onto the camera.)

To remove the ST-152, slide the shoe lock slider in the opposite direction ( the lock pin retracts) and slide off the ST-EP.

COPY

Readvine the ST-E2

The hot shoe on the EOS 650, EOS 620, EOS 750, and EOS 850 will not couple with t h e lock pin. The ST-E2 can still be attached to these cameras, but it cannot be locked onto the hot shoe.

(3) Turning On the Power

1 Turn the main switch to < I >. The main switch has the follow- ing three positions: < 0 > : Turns of'f'the powcr. < I > : Turns on the powrr. < HOLD > : The se t t ings which were set a t the I switch position arc frozen. All transmitter con- trols exccpt the test trtinsmis- sion button a r e disabled. This prevents inadvertant alteration of transmitter settings.

When transmission is possible, 2 the pilot lamp lights in red and the 5 icon lights in the camera viewfinder.

0 When the 5 icon lights in the camera viewfinder, it indicates that the ST-E2 is able to trans- mit. When Speedlite 550EX is rechareed and readv to fire. its AE-assist beam emiiter blinks.

Q If the ST-E2 is on and not used for 90 sec., t h e S E (Save Energy) feature takes effect and t u r n s off t h e power automatically to save bat tery power. The ST-E2 t u r n s back on when t h e shutter button or test trans- mission button is pressed. With a Type A camera (EOS- 3, EOS Elan IIIIIE, EOS 50/50E, EOS 500NIRebel G, EOS IX.

:*El To prevent wireless signals from being transmitted to unrelated Speedl i te 55OEX uni ts in t h e vicinity, you can set a channel dif- ferent from the one used by the unrelated Speedlite 550EX units. One of four channels can be set. The ST-E2 ( m a s t e r ) and s lave Speedlite(s) must be set to the same channel No.

Press the < CH. > button a n d select the desired channel.

Attach the slave to the mini s tand (equipped with tripod socket) which comes with the 550EX. Turn the Speedlite's body (bounce feature) so that the slave sensor fhccs toward thc ST-EZ. Indoors, the slave position need not be so precise since the light will also bounce off the walls. After positioning the camera a n d slaves, be sure to tes t t he wirclrss control before taking a picture. Do not place any obstructions between the ST-EP and slaves. Otherwise, remote transmission may not bc achieved.

When the correct flash exposure is obtained, the ST-E2's flash confir- mation lamp lights for about 3 sec. immediately after the flash fires. If i t does not light, the picture might be underexposed. In this case, use a larger aper tu re or place the slave

With the EOS-3, the model- Ing flash can be fired to see B , '

After the picture is taken. the slave's operation result is displayed on t h e slave's display panel.

45. Wireless Multi-Flash E-TTL Autoflash Operation

There a r e t w o types of wireless multi-flash E-TTL autoflash opcr- ations: a < RATIO > OFF: All slaves fire the same flash output. Q) < RATIO > ON: Slaves are given a n ID, e i t h e r A o r B. The f l a sh ratio is then set for each ID.

The flash ratio can be set only when the camera is an EOS-3. The flash ratio cannot be set with an EOS Elan IVIIE, EOS 50/5OE, EOS Rebel G/500N, EOS IX or EOS K71X Lite.

a By changing t h e dis tance between t h e subject a n d slaves, the lighting balance (flash ratio) can be changed accordingly. Two or more slaves can be used. With the EOS-3, a modeling flash can be fired to check the lighting effects before the picture is taken.

As a n example , two s l aves a r e used here, one positioned on t h e left and the other on the right of the subject.

All t h e s l a v e s s e t a t t h e s a m e channel f ire a t t h e s a m e ou tpu t controlled by E-TTL autoflash to obtain a correct exposure.

Thc operation ~rooedure is thc same as with wireless I.>-'ITI, autoflash.

0 With the EOS-3, make sure the ST-E2 ' s f l a sh ra t io control lamp is off. (If necessary, press the <RATIO > button to turn i t off.) If the flash ratio control lamp is on, the Speedlite may not fire or a correct exposure may not be a t t a ined . After turning off the flash ratio con- trol lamp, set the main switch to <HOLD > to prevent the flash ratio control lamp from light- ing inadvertantly.

Wireless Multi-Flash E-'lTL Autoflash Operation

(1) Setting the Slave ID

With the wireless control of multi- ple slaves, you can set the flash ratio and specify the main flash and fill flash by assigning a slave ID. There are three IDS: A, B, and C. The ST-E2 can control slaves A and B. When the flash ratio con- trol lamp is lit, the C slave does not fire.

Set the slave ID to A for the slave on the left of the camera. and to B for the slave on the right of the camera. Press the slave's < SEL/SET >

button to select < > .

2 Press the < + > or < - > but- ton to set the slave ID to <A>.

3 Press the < SELISET > button to register the slave ID. (The slave I D stops blinking and stays on.)

4 Follow the same procedure for the other slave to set the slave ID to <B>.

0 If the slave's ID is set to C, it cannot he controlled by thc ST- E2. Be sure to set the slave ID 7rn5s

About Slave Group Control

All slaves set to the same ID are controlled as one group.

Otherwise, they will not be able to pick up the ST-E2's wireless control signals. However, with Off-Camera Shoe Cord 2 (sold separately), the ST-E2 can be positioned away from the camera and face any direction for wireless transmission.
