Canon 1D Mark II N as Slave Master

[imatechie]

Hi,

Can I use my Canon 1D Mark IIN as a slave master with a Canon Speedlite 580 EX II? That is can I use a 580 EX II wirelessly, without buying a transmitter?

Any help is appreciated!

No, you need to use either another 580EX or the STE-EII transmitter to fire your 580. Canon does not build wireless flash capability into any of its bodies. You can also spend some money on A pocket Wizard setup, but for what it will cost you you might as well get the second flash.

Yes, only the 7D has built in wireless transmitter. What Tony said.

That's correct, that body does not have the ability to act as a wireless Master in Canon's flash system. It doesn't even have a flash of it's own.

Only Canon's newest bodies can do this. The 7D and I believe the 60D and maybe even the T3i.
