Canon wireless speedlight control.

[Justin1971]

I will be getting a Canon 600D in the next couple of weeks and have decided to get the Speedlight 430EX II (only £176 from panamoz and that's before the 5% BACS discount - but that's another story...).

My question is, the Canon 600D website states "An integrated wireless Speedlite flash controller and Easy Wireless technology allow off-camera TTL flash without the need for extra accessories."

which I assume means you can use the flash off-camera without the need for a remote adapter mounted on the camera?

Is this correct or will I need anything else to use the flash off camera? also if this is the case, what is the range from the camera to the flash?

Thanks,

Justin

You don't need anything extra to trigger your flash. The onboard flash does it. Download the manual and have a look through that which should answer your question. The range is better I find in darker conditions.
