2. Wireless E-TTL Autoflash With Flash Ratio ON
• Setting the Flash Ratio for Two Slave Units:
A and B
With slave unit A being the main flash and slave unit B being the fill flash, the
flash ratio (A:B) between these two slave units can be set from 8:1 to 1:1 or
from 1:1 to 1:8. (Thirteen 1/2-stop increments.) In terms of stops, the flash
ratio can be adjusted from 3:1 to 1:1 or from 1:1 to 1:3. The E-TTL autoflash
system then controls the total flash amount according to the flash ratio to
obtain a correct exposure.
