4. ETTL：Fully Automatic Wireless Flash Shooting
Using Automatic Wireless Flash with a Single Slave Unit
Master Unit Setting
1● Attach a V860IIC camera
flash on the camera and
set it as the master unit.
●As a master unit, V860IIC
can control Canon
speedlites e.g. 580EXII,
600EX-RT via wireless.
Slave Unit Setting
2● Set the other camera flash
as the wireless slave Unit.
● As a slave unit, V860IIC
can receive wireless signals
of Canon speedlites e.g.
580EXII, 600EX-RT and
commanders of Canon
cameras e.g. 7D/60D/600D.
Check the communication

● If the master unit and slave
unit(s) are set to a different
channel, set them to the
same channel. (Page 47)

● When the slave flash ready
indicator is ready, the AF-
assist beam lighting area
will blinks at 1 second
intervals.
Check the flash operation.
7● Press the master unit’s
Test Button < >.
● Then, the slave unit will
fire. If not, adjust the slave
unit’s angle toward the
master unit and distance
from the master unit.
Using Automatic Wireless Flash with Multiple Slave Units
When stronger flash output or
more convenient lighting operation
is needed, increase the number of
slave units and set it as a single
slave unit.
To add slave units, use the same
steps as setting “automatic
wireless flash with a single slave
unit”. Any flash group can be set
(A/B/C).
When the number of slave units is
increased and the master unit
flash firing is ON, automatic
control is implemented to make all
groups of flashes fire the same
flash output and ensure the total
flash output up is to standard
exposure.
The slave unit might be out of order or fire an unwanted flash due to the
nearby fluorescent lamp or computer screen.
● Press the depth-of-field preview button on the camera to fire a modeling
flash.
● If the slave unit’s auto power off function is workable, press the master
unit’s test button to power it on. Please note that test firing is unavailable
during the camera’s regular metering time.
● The effective time of slave auto power off is changeable. (C.Fn-Sv APOT

● By making some settings, the auto AF-assist transmitter will not blink after
the slave unit’s flash ready indicator is lightened. (C.Fn-AF Page 57)

About Slave Group Control
If three slave units are all set to

slave units will be controlled as if
they were one camera flash in
slave group A.
● When setting < RATIO A:B C >, group A, B and C will fire a
flash synchronously; when setting< RATIO A:B >, group C
will not fire a flash.
● If shooting under the situation that group C is toward the
main shooting subject, over exposure might occurred.
● In some EOS film cameras that support E-TTL autoflash,
you cannot perform multiple flash wireless shooting with a

Wireless Flash Shooting: Radio (2.4G) Transmission
Using a flash (master/slave) with a radio transmission wireless
shooting function make it easy to shoot with advanced wireless
multiple flash lighting, in the same way as E-TTL II autoflash
shooting.
The basic relative position and operation range are as shown in the
picture. You can then perform wireless E-TTL II /ETTL autoflash
shooting just by setting the master unit to <ETTL>.
Positioning and Operation Range (Example of wireless flash
shooting)
● Autoflash Shooting with One Slave Unit
● Use the supplied mini stand to position the slave unit.
● Before shooting, perform a test flash and test shooting.
● The transmission distance might be shorter depending on
the conditions such as positioning of slave units, the
surrounding environment and whether conditions.
Transmission distance is about 100m.
You can divide the slave units into two or three groups and perform
E-TTL II/E-TTL autoflash while changing the flash ratio (factor). In
addition, you can set and shoot with a different flash mode for each
firing group, for up to 5 groups.
● Auto Shooting with Two Slave Groups

Wireless shooting using radio transmission has advantages over

Other Applications
Wireless Control Function
The flash unit is built in with a Wireless Control Port so that you can
wirelessly adjust the power level of the flash and the flash triggering.
To control the flash wirelessly, you need a FT-16S
remote control set (on-camera and on-flash).
Insert its receive end into the Wireless Control
Port on the flash and insert the transmit end into
the camera hot shoe. Settings made on the
hotshoe-mounted transmit and receive ends
will be wirelessly communicated
to the flash. Then you can
press the camera shutter
release button to trigger
the flash. You can also hold
the transmit end at hand to
control your off-camera flash.
For full instructions on the use of FT series remote control, see its user
manual.
Sync Triggering
The Sync Cord Jack is a Φ2.5mm plug. Insert a trigger plug here
and the flash will be fired synchronously with the camera shutter.
Modeling Flash
If the camera has a depth-of-field preview button, pressing it will fire
the flash continuously for 1 second. This is called modeling flash.
It enables you to see the shadow effects on the subject and the
lighting balance. You can fire the modeling flash during wireless or
normal flash shooting.
● To avoid overheating and deteriorating the flash head, do
not fire the modeling flash for more than 10 consecutive
times. If you fire the modeling flash 10 consecutive times,
allow at least 10 minutes’ break for the camera flash.
● The modeling flash cannot be fired with the EOS 300 and
Type-B cameras.
Auto Focus Assist Beam
In poorly-lit or low-contrast shooting environments, the built-in auto
focus assist beam will automatically light on to make it easier for
autofocus. The beam will light up only when autofocus is difficult
and get out as soon as the autofocus becomes correct.
If you want to turn off the auto focus assist beam, set the “AF” to
“OFF” on the C.Fn settings.
● If you find the auto focus assist beam does not light up, this
is because the camera has got a correct autofocus.

Effective Range

Bounce Flash
By pointing the flash head toward a wall or ceiling, the flash will
bounce off the surface before illuminating the subject. This can
soften shadows behind the subject for a more natural-looking shot.
This is called bounce flash.
To set the bounce direction, hold the flash head and turn it to a
satisfying angle.
360
-7-90
● If the wall or ceiling is too far away, the bounced flash might
be too weak and result in underexposure.
● The wall or ceiling should be a plain, white color for high
reflectance. If the bounce surface is not white, a color cast
may appear in the picture.
Creating a Catchlight
With the catchlight panel, you can create a catchlight in the subject’s
eyes to add life to the facial expression.
Point the flash head upward
1by 90°.
Pull out the wide panel. The
2catchlight panel will come out
at the same time.
Push the wide panel back in.

● Push in only the wide panel.
● Follow the same procedures
as for bounce flash.
● Point the flash head straight ahead and then upward by
90°. The catchlight will not appear if you swing the flash
head left or right.
● For best catchlight effect, stay 1.5m/4.9ft away from the
subject.

ZOOM: Setting the Flash Coverage and Using
the Wide Panel
The flash coverage can be set automatically or manually. It can be
set to match the lens focal length from 20 mm to 200mm. Also, with
the built-in wide panel, the flash coverage can be expanded for
14mm wide-angle lenses.
In Manual Zoom mode, press the
<ZOOM/C.FN> button.
● Turn the Select Dial to change
the flash coverage.
● If < > is displayed, the flash
coverage will be set
automatically.
If you set the flash coverage manually, make sure it covers
the lens focal length so that the picture will not have a dark
periphery.
Using the Wide Panel
Pull out the wide panel and place it
over the flash head as shown. The
flash coverage will then be extended
to 14 mm.
● The catchlight panel will come out
at the same time. Push the
catchlight panel back in.
● The <ZOOM/C.FN> button will not
work.

function may be activated and make the recycling time over 10
seconds. If this occurs, allow a rest time of about 10 minutes, and
the flash unit will then return to normal.
