感謝您購買佳能產品。

佳能閃光燈傳輸器ST-E2是用于控制從屬閃光燈的無線傳輸器，可控制最

多兩個由兼容無線閃光拍攝的佳能閃光燈構成的閃光燈從屬組。

也請參閱您的相機和閃光燈的使用說明書。

使用ST-E2之前，請閱讀此使用說明書和您的相機和閃光燈的使用說明書。使

用ST-E2前請首先熟悉各機的操作。

它自動兼容相機的閃光測光模式（E-TTLll、E-TTL或TTL）。

在以下閃光測光模式下，相機自動控制ST-E2。

1.E-TTLII自動閃光（帶有預閃讀數/鏡頭距離信息的評價閃光測光）

2.E-TTL自動閃光（帶有預閃讀數的評價閃光測光）

3.TTL自動閃光（實時閃光測光的膠片平面反射光測光）

有關相機的可用閃光測光模式，請參閱相機使用說明書“規格”中“外

接閃光燈”規格部分。

相機使用說明書中有關閃光攝影的章節將具備上述1和2測光模式的相機

稱為A型相機（兼容E-TTLII或E-TTL）。而將具備3（僅兼容TTL）測光

模式的相機稱為B型相機。

*此使用說明書假定您正在使用安裝于A型相機上的ST-E2。

如果與B型相機配合使用ST-E2，只能夠使用手動閃光拍攝和頻閃功能。

本說明書中使用的約定

此使用說明書中的操作步驟假定相機和ST-E2的電源開關已開啟。

正文中使用的圖標分別表示按鈕、撥盤和設置。它們與相機和ST-E2

上相同的圖標相對應。

參考頁碼由（第**頁）表示。

此使用說明書中使用以下警告符號：

:該“小心”符號表示避免出現拍攝問題的警告。

:該“注意”符號提供補充信息。

關于自動對焦輔助光

在低照度或低對比度條件下，將自動發射內置的自動對焦輔助光，使自

動對焦更容易。ST-E2的自動對焦輔助光幾乎與所有EOS相機的自動對焦

點兼容。自動對焦輔助光兼容焦距大于和等于28mm的鏡頭。有效范圍如
