external Speedlite compatible with E-TTL II / E-TTL autoflash. In normal flash photography,
it can be used as an on-camera flash attached to a multi-function shoe, and radio
transmission wireless flash photography, it can be used as a sender or receiver. Dust and

Precaution on continuous flash firing
Flash units fire repeatedly in continuous shooting with flash or when you shoot with features
such as stroboscopic or modeling flash. Some people may experience seizures or similar
symptoms from visual overstimulation caused by continuous flash firing (including light
reflected off brightly colored walls or other surfaces). If you or others experience these
symptoms, stop firing the flash units immediately.
