"1: If the Speedlite does not have a transmission channel setting function, the
camera can work with any channel.
*2: In small rooms, the slave unit may work even if its wireless sensor does not face
the camera. The camera's wireless signals can bounce off the walls and be
received by the slave unit. With EX-series Speedlite having a fixed flash head
and wireless sensor, make sure it fires, then take the picture.
