Thank you for purchasing a Canon product.

The Canon Speedlite 430EX is a multi-feature flash unit for Canon EOS

cameras. It works automatically with E-TTL II, E-TTL, and TTL

autoflash systems. It can be used as an on-camera flash or as part of a

wireless flash system.

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 familairize yourself with the Speedlite operations.

The basic operation is the same as with normal AE shooting.

When the 430EX is attached to an EOS camera, almost all automatic

exposure control for flash photography is handled by the camera.

Although the 430EX is an external flash unit, it works automatically and

seamlessly like the camera’s built-in flash.

It is automatically compatible with the camera’s flash metering

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

The camera controls the Speedlite automatically in the following flash metering

modes:

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 Speedlite’s major specifications are

listed in “External Flash Items.”

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

to cameras having 1 and 2 as a Type-A camera (compatible with E-

TTL II or E-TTL). And cameras having 3(compatible with only TTL) are

called Type-B cameras.

* This instruction manual assume that you are using the 430EX with a Type-A

camera.

For Type-B cameras, see page 35.

The operation procedures in this instruction manual assume that both

the camera and Speedlite’s power switches are ON.

Icons are used in the text to indicate the respective buttons, dials,

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

Speedlite.

The (1) / (2) icons indicate that the respective function remains

in effect for 8 sec. or 12 sec.

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.
