Sorry for the question! I can not find in the manual how to in manual flash mode to change the unit from master to slave?

Page 52. It is the transmission button, the one on the left with the lightening bolt on it, that cycles through the various options.

Sorry, I did see and read that page but thought that was not what I was looking for. Will try that when I get home.

Thanks!!

No worries, it is a bit confusing because it also cycles through the older optical wireless Master and Slave options too, so there are five settings. You can change that in P.Fn-06 from both Radio and Optical, to just one or the other, that is on page 102.

I am sorry but I l am still missing something. I can turn on wireless control and also in manual mode. But I still can not find the button which changes the flash from master to slave???

Thanks

This one. Keep pressing it and it will cycle through five options. Normal-Radio Master-Radio Slave-Optical Master-Optical Slave then back to Normal.

When i hit that button the light turns amber and the mode changes to ETTL / Slave. And I cannot make any changes with the Mode Button.

Because its the slave? Change the mode from the Master (600, ST-E3, using the camera menu if you prefer and have a recent body).

Exactly, once it is a Slave it is controlled by the Master. The display won't change until you either take a picture or test fire the setup, then the screen will reflect the last images settings as set by the Master, not the next ones.

OK, Thanks for your Patients. What I needed to do is do a test flash from the master and then the flash will change from ETTL/Slave to Manual/Slave to match the master. !!!!!

Thanks
