The Canon Speedlite 600EX-RT/600EX is a high-output, multi-feature

flash unit for Canon EOS cameras, compatible with E-TTL II, E-TTL and

TTL autoflash and external flash metering systems. The Speedlite can

be used as an on-camera flash that attaches to the hot shoe of the

camera (normal shooting), and as a master unit or slave unit during

wireless shooting. In addition to these three functions, the Speedlite

also has dust and water resistance equivalent to EOS-1D series

cameras.

Note that the 600EX-RT is equipped with a wireless flash shooting

function that uses either radio transmission or optical transmission. The

600EX is equipped with a wireless flash shooting function that uses

optical transmission only.

Read this instruction manual while also referring to your

camera’s instruction manual.

Before using the Speedlite, read this instruction manual and your

camera’s instruction manual to familiarize yourself with the Speedlite

operations.

Using with an EOS digital camera (Type-A camera)

• You can use the Speedlite for easy autoflash shooting in the same

way as a camera’s built-in flash.

Using with an EOS film camera

•When using with an EOS film camera compatible with E-TTL II

and E-TTL autoflash systems (Type-A camera), you can use the

Speedlite for easy autoflash shooting in the same way as a

camera’s built-in flash.

• When using the Speedlite with an EOS film camera compatible

with TTL autoflash system (Type-B camera), see page 116.

* This instruction manual assumes that the Speedlite is used with an

Type-A camera.
