Thank you for purchasing a Canon product.

The Canon Speedlite 430EX II 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 familiarize yourself with the Speedlite operations.

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

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

exposure control for flash photography is handled by the camera.

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

seamlessly like the camera’s built-in flash.

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.

In the camera instruction manual, cameras having flash metering

modes 1 or 2 are called Type-A cameras (compatible with E-TTL II or

E-TTL). And cameras having flash metering mode 3(compatible only

with TTL) are Type-B cameras.

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

camera.

For Type-B cameras, see page 37.

The operation procedures in this instruction manual assume that both

the camera and Speedlite’s power switches are ON.

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

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:

: Warning to prevent shooting problems.

: Gives supplemental information.

Getting Started and

Basic Operation

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

Attaching and Detaching the Flash......................... 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.

2Install the batteries.

Make sure the + and – battery

contacts are correctly oriented as

shown in the battery compartment.

3Close the cover.

and slide it as shown by the arrow.

Recycling Time and Flash Count

Based on new size-AA alkaline batteries and Canon’s testing standards.

Installing the Batteries

Recycling Time (Approx.) Flash Count (Approx.)

0.1 - 3.0 sec. 200 - 1400

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.
