be
used
in
three
different
wags
:
As
a
normal
on-camera
flash,
the
master
unit
for
a
wireless,
multi-Speedlite
flash
system,
or
a slave

;
almost
all
automatic
exposure
control

of
the
580EX
as a
built-in,
high-output

the
camera's
flash
metering
mode
{E-TTL
II,
E-TTL,

flash
metering
modes
:
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

E-TTL
II)
.
And
cameras
having 3 (compatible
with
only
TTL)
are
called
Type-113
cameras
.
This
instruction
manual
assume
that
you
