How do you make ST-E2 talk with 430 EX II on a Canon 6D? Thanks.

I do not have a 6D. On my 7D the need for the ST-E2 transmitter is eliminated since the function is built into the camera body. My understanding is the transmitter was useful for older model Canon cameras without this function.Peter Lenz

Set the flash on slave mode... On the 580ex II hold zoom then turn the dial to slave on the set...

Hi Paul, I have the 6D and the 430EX II as well. To get them talking, you will need to put the flash into Slave mode. This is accomplished by pressing and holding the ZOOM key. You will see an icon of a flashgun with a zig-zag below it. If you press the ZOOM key repeatedly until the CH or SLAVE settings blink, you can use the +/- keys to change the channel and firing group of this flash. To take it out of Slave mode, just press and hold the ZOOM button again.

It is compatible with ETTL. There's a button right on the ST-E2 that you can select manual or ETTL. The Canon ST-E2 Speedlite Transmitter is a dedicated E-TTL (II) wireless autoflash transmitter that can control an unlimited number of flashes with Canon Speedlites 420EX, 430EX, 430EXII, 550EX, 580EX and 580EX II, in two separate groups; A and B.

Works fine with all new Canons. Doesn't support the new radio system like the 600EX-RT, but can still be used as slave IR. Will also work fine on hot shoe of any new Canon (for ETTL and/or AF assist). I've had one 580EX (I) for years, and while it doesn't support some new features, is still a good primary or secondary flash (with IR...would have to get a newer Canon flash for RT slave).

Thanks NutMac. I just got the Canon XSi so I'm guessing that would control this flash (being very new itself). The one thing I didn't consider before was that the price of this new 430EX II will be at list price for a while, making it a lot more expensive that the current model! That will put it out of my price range, so I guess I'm sticking with the older technology for now! Thanks again,Stew

It is compatible! there is a firmware update that needs to take place. Call or email their customer service line. They are extremely helpful. They're very friendly and I'm confidente they'll resolve your issue. http://support.eye.fi/cameras/canon/eos-1d_mark_ii

Hi, I use three RF-603c II's with my 6d. I use one on the camera as a trigger, and two as receivers on two flashes (Yongnuo YN568EX [which also has five contacts] and a Neewer TT560). They only work on the TRx mode, but they've been working perfectly so far.You've checked that the channels on the trigger/remotes are set to the same combination? I can't think of anything else that could be a problem. Like I said they work perfectly with my 6d. So much so that I'm about to order two more RF-603C II's to go with another flash that I just got. Hope you get it sorted out. Best of luck.

According to others when I googled the YN-E3-RT. It pretty much a duplicate of Canon ST-E3-RT with a few cool additional features: 1. AF Focus Assist light in low light condition. 2. USB port for firmware update. 3. Work with Non-Canon Cameras including Fujifilm X-E2. But the thing you have to be aware of is that this trigger only work with Canon 600EX-RT. It will not work with YN-622 Transceiver in a group either. I won't be able to tell you how it really actually work until I receive my unit sometime in Mar. Ordered one and it's all the way in China :-). If you are looking for something comparable to this Pixel trigger then you need to look at the YN 622 TX. They just shipped the Nikon version YN 622N-TX but I haven't seen the canon model yet. Hope this helps.

The Canon 600EX-RT speedlight is designed to work, wirelessly, with other 600EX-RT units (the "RT" stands for Radio Transmission), or with the Canon ST-E4; you no longer need 3rd party transceivers (such as the PW Plus III) to incorporate off-camera flash using radio transmission. Another company, YongNuo, has developed a shoe-mount transmitter (the YN-E3-RT) that is fully compatible with the 600EX-RT and also has an AF assist light, which the Canon ST-E4 doesn't even have. If you're still set on using your PW Plus III with your 600EX-RT, you can do so but you will only be able to use the flash in Manual Mode (not E-TTL), and you won't be able to change your flash settings remotely. This is fine if you're shooting in a controlled environment, such as a studio, where your lighting won't change but if you're looking to use off-camera flash outdoors and/or in changing lighting conditions, I'd highly recommend getting another 600EX-RT, which you can then use as a transceiver on-camera to fully control your off-camera one. If that's too expensive an option, get the Canon ST-E4 which also mounts onto your hot-shoe and gives you full control over your 600EX (or get the YongNuo version, which does the same thing but is a lot less expensive and also has the benefit of an AF assist beam for low-light focusing).

I'm sure you could optically but I don't think the ST-E3-RT will work with any existing strobes using the signals provided by Canon out of the ST-E3-RT. If anyone else knows please correct me if I'm wrong..There might be a few companys designing new strobes to function with it...I would buy a few. I would HATE to mix receivers but if I could operate an additional strobe with a simple receiver that the ST-E3 could communicate with then possibly...

Check to see if your Canon 6D is compatible with a Canon 430 speedlite. If so, you can use this one too on the 6D.

Hi H,Canon only make the model 600EX RT with a built-in 2.4 GHz radio trigger system. The 430EX model is not and therefore can only be triggered from 600EX RT via optical mode.

Elizabeth,Sorry to take so long to respond...I just noticed this unopened in my email.I can't speak to the T2i, Elizabeth, I own a Canon Sx50 HD. It works with mine and I like it.Sincerely,greg

If you havan't already done so, try swapping the two 622c units you have. Perhaps the one you are using for flash works better with the camera? It should work but as MW said, the unit could be defective.

I have the 430 ex and it works. Etta and everything. The connection on the flash hot shoe is tight and I have to make sure the connection is pushed all the way into the hotshot otherwise Ettl does not work. It is just a tight fit and I have read reviews that the cord doesn't work with Ettl and think users are just having a problem connecting it because they don't want to break their flash. It works for me and is great.

I use a 7D and will be upgrading to a 6D. I can tell you it does not work with my 7D and a Canon 100 -400mm L series lens. I have to rely on manual focus which is a real bummer! I really don't want to pay Canon's price for their 2x teleconvertor, but may have no choice. Hope this helps
