Surely Canon, in their great wisdom, didn't set this up as an ETTL only system!?! Tell me it ain't so. Please! Is there any way to overide this so that I can set my flashes in manual mode and have the ST-E2 trigger them? LIKES 0 Be back in a flash! LIKES 0 Don't think I've ever had a question answered so quickly on any forum. LIKES 0 Paul - Have no idea how I'm thank full ! Bless ya G. IsaacImage.com LIKES 0 But that takes a remote controller capable of doing it, i.e. a camera like the 7D or a flash unit like the 600 EX-RT. When you go into independent manual mode, your flash will still be a remote flash, that fires in sync with the E-TTl slaves, if any, but the setup (power setting) has to be done on the independent flash itself. This is supported by several slave capable flashes, and allows for extending the different manual power levels used indefinitely, regardless of the controller, but you have to take a walkabout to your flashes to set them up. To disappoint some, it's indeed described in the user's manual for the flash unit.

LIKES 0 I was going to buy the Yongnuo 622 radio slaves, but posts around the net with one from a Yongnuo rep said a 622 on camera as master cannot set manual power settings for the 550ex. Why can't it duplicate the same manual power setting function in the body of a 550ex. Anyone has a clear answer on this. If this were so and no firmware update to the 622 transceivers, then looks like the only hope for 550ex owners is to wait for the dedicated 622 transmitter only that is already late from the original release date announcement. LIKES 0 The newer flashes can receive the same instructions through the hotfoot; that's why they will work with the 622s. LIKES 0 Regular, not master or slave. So when attached to the 550ex, the Yongnuo 622 pretends to be the camera? LIKES 0 Regular, not master or slave. You already figured it out. But it does support setting the flash power level in E-TTL mode. Thus you can implement ratios in E-TTL that way, if you want to.

For Manual flash, you need some ebay triggers Not possible for it to shoot in Manual as a slave. For Manual flash, you need some ebay triggers I haven't used the ST-2E for a while but I do remember that when I bought it I thought you could control the output power of the flash remotely while in manual mode (on the flash). Played with it this weekend and cannot seem to do this. It looks like you can only control the ratios under TTL II when using multiply flashes. To change the power level while in manual mode I have had to do it on the flash. So, when using the flash in manual mode, it seems the ST-2E is no better than the cheap ebay triggers. Plus, it'll operate three channels as well. IOW, the ST-2 is kind of a crippled POS. No excuse for it, really.:nah Plus, it'll operate three channels as well. IOW, the ST-2 is kind of a crippled POS. No excuse for it, really.:nah Output must be adjusted directly on the flash units themselves. Output must be adjusted directly on the flash units themselves. I think cmason is correct in that. Neil I think cmason is correct in that. Neil I had the flash in manual mode (flashing M). Set the camera on manual and then played with the flash until I had a decent exposure. Changing the camera settings didn't seem to effect the flash output and the flash certainly did not get close to a proper exposure on many shots. In ETTL, when the camera is in manual the flash power will change to suit the camera settings - this is how I normally use it. I think cmason is correct in that. The ST-2 doesn't tell your flash to change it's mode. The ST-2 doesn't tell your flash to change it's mode. As for why an ST-E2. I have one because it made much better sense for what I needed: two off camera flashes. I purchased a 430EX and a used 420 EX for far less than a 580EX. Added an ST -E2 and now I have two off camera flashes and a good on camera flash. With the 580 and a 430 or 420, I would have had only one off camera flash, with the 580 mounted and not flashing or providing center light, which I did not want.This mode is not available when using the ST-E2. At least that's the way it works with my 580EXII's. Your mileage may vary. You can't adjust the level at the ST-2 like you can using a 580EXII as a master. However, you CAN trigger remote 580EXII's that are set to manual flash MODE. EDIT: So what you're telling me is that the 430EX doesn't allow you to set manual flash mode and be a slave at the same time. Correct? The 580EXII does allow you to do this, and that's all I know.

After flash fires ST-E2's flash confirmation lamp lights in green for 3 sec. Whilst the Canon 580EX II uses optical pulsed flashes to communicate with the slave flashes the ST-E2 uses the same pulses but in the infra-red spectrum so you can’t see them. The major disadvantage of this optical wireless system is that you need a clear line-of-sight between the controller and the slave speedlite. Optical wireless works ok indoors in a studio where the signal can bounce off nearby walls and ceiling etc and has a range of around 15m. However it’s not so reliable outside in bright sunlight and has a reduced range of 10m. Radio wireless is a far better option when possible. It can also be used as a stand-alone focus aid in low light conditions even if you decide not to use the flash. Remember that when using this controller you must have a clear line-of-sight between the controller and the speedlite for it to work. It will also work will all Yongnuo speedlites with “EX” in the name. There is no dedicated manual control button, the slave speedlites must be switched to manual mode by hand. Controls such as flash exposure compensation (FEC), flash exposure lock (FE lock) and flash exposure bracketing (FEB) can only be set using the camera controls and menu and not on the ST-E2 itself. Ratios can be set between 8:1 to 1 and 1 to 1:8 in half stop increments.

In small venues when one can get a bounce the flash units can placed almost any where, for portraits and easy way to control the ratios. I read the reviews and decided to comment as I saw one person who gave it a six and does not even own it. I gave it a ten but it is more deserving of a 9 because of the price. The good thing is, that you don't have to use wires anymore, the ST-E2 is quite small on the camera compared to using a flash, and you have easy access to the functions it provides. The reach of the light to the flashes is not impressive. Inside you have a 12 meters reach (35feet) and outside its limited to 8 meters (25 feet) in an 80 degree angle in front of your lens. This is limiting, especially if you want the flashes behind you. I haven't tried the full potential of the reach inside, but outside I would say the reach is much smaller than its announced in the manual. I've had difficulties to make a 3 meter reach outside. The lower front of mine was lost the first day I used it, don't know how it happened, since it was on the camera all the time. I don't like the battery-type that is used in the ST-E2. Its way to expensive, why not use power from the camera or AA-batteries, which the flashes uses anyway. The adjustment on the back, where you can balance several flashes in different groups works quite well, along with the highspeed sync. I do miss second curtain-sync, don't know why they didn't put that feature in there. I also miss the ability to do manual settings on the trigger, perhaps it can be done setting the flashes to manual. If I had to do this again, I would have a serious look at pocket wizards instead, the radio-signal is way more powerful than the red light this one sends out has. The new ones does feature e-TTL, and there should be some chineese on the way also, which should offer the same. CAnt see the adjustments in the dark. Very useful for those pub and disco shoots. Where space can be tight. Your flash can be mounted on an overhead beam and you are triggering them as you go. No issue with built quality, but its not bomb-proof. Its soooo light, you dont need to screw it down. You must knock into someone to get it off. Great range even in outdoor provided the slave is FACING it. Lots of missing features. Very simple like 2nd curtain. ( cant be done with the body either ) No manual flash option. ( Manual flash is an option on 580EX ) No flash compensation dial. I like the quick dial on the 580EX. Not a biggie since most bodies can do flash compensation. It works, at least for the scenarios it was designed to, but don't expect too much magic out of it. I would've preferred a tighter locking mechanism, like the screw ring on a flash or the lever on the OC-E3 cord. For me this is a real failure. In my opinion, most flash shots are either not affected or benefited by using second curtain. I was reading Joe McNally's book The Hot Shoe Diaries, and I got really jealous of all the control that Nikon flash system lets you do with their transmitter or master flash - like switching the flash from CLS (Nikon's ETTL) to manual, adjusting flash zoom, and pretty much every other setting - all without touching the slave flash. To be honest, I feel a little cheated after spending all this money on Canon's flash system and still feeling so limited. The ratio control is a convenient way to adjust lighting. It is low powered compared to studio lighting, and batteries run out. I then needed to buy a lightstand, bracket and umbrella for my 550EX.Had I continued down this path, I would then have needed to buy another Canon flash unit, another lightstand, etc etc. Buying all this stuff separately is not cheap. I bought an entire budget studio lighting kit for less than I paid for the ST-E2 alone. The kit has three strobes, three light stands, two diffusing umbrellas, and all the accessories you need. It's not as portable (because it needs mains power) and I no longer have E-TTL, so getting the exposure right is a bit trickier but no big deal. It was a cheap kit but it works very well and puts out a lot more light than the Canon dedicated system. There are still occasions when I am shooting outside that I can find a use for the ST-E2, but for portrait work and product shots indoors, a cheap studio lighting kit was better and cheaper for me. I bought the ST-E2 on a whim without thinking ahead long term as to what I wanted to achieve. If I had given it more thought, I wouldn't have bothered. It is by no means a bad product but for what I wanted, a budget studio lighting kit gave me the best option for the best price. Fairly reliable (I have not had mine fail yet). Can be used as a focus assist if metering manually. Gets the flash off camera! Big, looks dated. No 2nd curtain sync. If using as a focus assist (no strobe) manual metering must be used as the camera still thinks theres a strobe attached and meters accordingly. Only operates two channels. Must keep line of sight (at least a bounce) with strobe. Pretty fragile looking body. This is why I bought it and it meets my expectations, though canon should really update it. Although a line of sight must be maintained with the strobes a bounced signal also works so this is rarely an issue (and could be solved with radio poppers). It would be better if the unit ran off AA batteries for convenience. My main gripes are the lack of second curtain sync and when using the ST-E2 as a focus assist only the camera still thinks a strobe is attached and so under exposes the shot. All in all though I knew what I was buying and am pleased with the product - I'll definatley be in line for the ST-E3 though if it ever comes out. In my opinion the ST-E3 needs to run on AA batteries (or even AAA), have 2nd curtain sync, operate 3 groups, be smaller and more robust and most importantly, let the camera know when no strobe is attached! Pretty happy with the duration of the battery (two years), except it would have been better with rechargeable standard batteries, since mine stopped working in the middle of a session and haven't any in stock since it is a very special battery. Only pick on the hardware.Canon, why it is not included with your camera.Lots of channels. Provides focus assist in low light. Can be used on camera while flash is on bracket. Provides focus assist in low light. Can be used on camera while flash is on bracket. A very worthwhile gadget very useful. I have used it in my visual anthropology and natural history photography with great success. In low light the communication with the flash is flawless as the IR control bounces pretty much wherever the flash is. I have also used this to control two Speedlites (580ex, 430ex) and it worked well, especially as you can quickly change the ratios. The one major flaw (are you listening Canon?) is that there does not seem to be any way of using this this and getting 2nd curtain synch. Canon costumer support claims they know of no issues with it although most people I talk to have problems with it, especially in sunlight. Makes multi-flash setups easy and studio-style lighting possible with your existing speedlights. Can be used for focus assist in dim light without putting subject off by firing bright white flash. Battery very expensive but I don't know if it lasts well - it hasn't run out yet! The transmitter can stay on the camera and doubles nicely as a focus assist lamp which operates much more unobtrusively than the built-in system of my 350D which fires the main tube of the pop-up flash unit - and my subject thinks I've taken the picture and wanders off. This is a great device that I wouldn't be without. Its coverage is usually not a problem indoors where the infra-red bounces off light walls but it's always worth checking that the system is going to work - there's a check button which fires the group A flashes and then the group B flashes so you can see it's all going to work. Highly recommended. Works best indoors but outdoors is no problem as long as you work within the proper range. Works PERFECTLY with our 10D or 20D - - and, as a bonus - with our G3 PowerShot too. AWESOME for remote-mounted fill-flash outdoors!!! Impossible to over-compliment the ST-E2. I've used this from fashion shots, to botanical and childrens portraits. Focuses in zero light. Battery seems to last forever. After some time it lost the appeal and I sold it to a fellow member on this forum. I would not hessitate at all to recommend the ST-E2 for anyone that takes a lot of multiple camera photos and does not wish to have a strobe on-camera. If you have a strobe on your camera, the ST-E2 becomes pretty useless as you can use the strobe as a master to trip the slaves. One very cool feature is that you need not use it to trip off your strobes. You can set it in the hot shoe and the IR beam will help you autofocus in zero light. Very neat. If you frequently use multiple strobes, I would look into Pocket Wizard as its radio is sure to work in places where the ST-E2 does not. Still a good product but for a little more you can get a used strobe and have just as versitile a setup. Much of my flash shooting, with a 550EX and a 420EX, and soon to include a 580EX, is done without a flash on-body. Using the off-camera shoe cord limits you to a couple of feet. (Think of light stands being pulled over.) With the ST-E2, you have room to roam. Simple to use. Highly recommended unless you need the extra range provided by something like Pocket Wizard. The wireless possibilities areOlder A-TTL cameras, e.g., EOS A2 or 1N, only can only use the ST-E2 in manualHowever, when I select individualIt works perfectlyThe AF assist lightIn automatic sensorThe official AFThe A2 just fliesI could quicklyBy the way,Ratios fromThe modeling flash,Unfortunately,The ST-E2 canIn the image below, theThe precision andPlus, you alsoInsufficient flash. The Hold button is a very useful feature to prevent an accidental change in your settings. It has four different channels which is more than enough for almost every photographer. You can control the lighting ratio between speedlites up to an 8:1 ratio. This is a great feature when you are shooting in low-light situations. This accessory uses infra-red pulses to trigger the remote flashes rather than radio waves like the Canon Speedlite 600EX-RT. It has an outside shooting range rated at about 30 feet and indoor about 45 feet. With indoor shooting you have the added advantage of the infrared pulses bouncing off walls to give you more flexibility in placement of your speedlite. Otherwise your speedlite must be in direct line-of-sight view from your transmitter. If the ST-E2 sits idle for 90 seconds, the Save Energy kicks in and turns off the power to prolong battery life. A gentle touch to the camera shutter button wakes it up instantly. I got a real kick out of the illustration on page 26 of the ST-E2 manual. It's a good illustration on how to use the Canon ST-E2 but the subject's pose might be difficult to achieve.
