Thank you for purchasing a Canon product.

The Canon Speedlite 580EX II is an EOS-dedicated, high-output flash

unit automatically compatible with E-TTL II, E-TTL, and TTL autoflash.

It can serve as an on-camera flash as well as a master unit or a slave

unit in a wireless, multiple-Speedlite system. It has the same dust- and

water-resistance as EOS-1D series cameras.

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.

The basic operation is as easy as with normal AE shooting.

When the 580EX II is attached to an EOS camera, almost all automatic

exposure control for flash photography is handled by the camera.

It is almost the same as using the camera’s built-in flash if it has one. You can

think of the 580EX II as a built-in, high-output flash, but attached externally.

It becomes automatically compatible with the camera’s flash

metering mode (E-TTL ll, E-TTL, and TTL).

In accordance with the camera’s flash control system, the Speedlite controls

the flash automatically in the respective flash metering mode:

1. E-TTL II autoflash (evaluative flash metering with preflash reading/lens

distance information)

2. E-TTL autoflash (evaluative flash metering with preflash reading)

3. TTL autoflash (off-the-film metering for real-time flash metering)

Regarding the camera’s available flash metering modes, refer to the

“External Speedlite” specification in the “Specifications” of your

camera’s instruction manual.

The camera instruction manual’s chapter on flash photography will refer

to cameras having flash metering modes 1 or 2 as a Type-A camera

(compatible with E-TTL II or E-TTL). And cameras having flash

metering mode 3(compatible with only TTL) are called Type-B

cameras.

*This instruction manual assumes that you are using the Speedlite

with a Type-A camera.

For Type-B cameras, see page 55.

The <9> symbol in the text refers to the Select Dial.

The <8> symbol in the text refers to the Select/Set button.

settings match the same icons found on the camera and Speedlite.

The (4) / (0) / (3) icons indicate that the respective function

remains in effect for 4 sec., 6 sec., or 16 sec. after you let go of the

button.

Reference page numbers are indicated by (p.**).

This instruction manual uses the following alert symbols:

: The Caution symbol indicates a warning to prevent shooting

problems.

: The Note symbol gives supplemental information.

Getting Started and

Basic Operation

Installing the Batteries ............................................ 8

Attaching to the Camera......................................... 9

Turning on the Power Switch................................ 10

Fully Automatic Flash Shooting............................. 11

Using E-TTL II and E-TTL Autoflash in the

Shooting Modes.................................................... 12

To avoid overheating and degrading the flash

head, do not fire more than 20 continuous

flashes. After 20 continuous flashes, allow a rest

time of at least 10 min.

If you fire more than 20 continuous flashes and

then fire more flashes in short intervals, the

inner overheating prevention function may be

activated to make the recycling time about 8 to

20 sec. If this occurs, allow a rest time of about

15 min. and the flash will then return to normal.

Cautions for firing continuous flashes

Installing the Batteries

Recycling Time and Flash Count (with size-AA alkaline batteries)

Recycling Time Flash Count

Quick Flash Normal Flash

Approx. 0.1 - 2.5 sec. Approx. 0.1 - 5 sec. Approx. 100 - 700

Using size-AA batteries other than the alkaline type may cause improper

battery contact due to the irregular shape of the battery contacts.

If you change the batteries after firing many flashes continuously, be

aware that the batteries might be hot.

Use a new set of four batteries of the same brand. When replacing the

batteries, replace all four at one time.

Size-AA Ni-MH or lithium batteries can also be used.
