В этой главе рассмотрены подготовка к съемке со
вспышкой и основные операции съемки со вспышкой.

Предупреждение о непрерывной серии съемки со вспышкой

Во избежание ухудшения характеристик и повреждения
головки вспышки из-за перегрева ограничьте непрерывную
серию вспышек с полной мощностью 30 вспышками. После
серии из 30 вспышек с полной мощностью дайте вспышке
остыть в течение не менее 10 мин.
Если после непрерывной серии вспышек с полной
мощностью, превышающей указанное количество вспышек,
продолжить съемку со вспышкой с короткими интервалами,
может сработать встроенная функция защиты,
ограничивающая работу вспышки. Если работа вспышки
ограничена уровнем 1, интервал срабатывания
автоматически устанавливается равным примерно 8 с. В этом
случае дайте вспышке остыть в течение не менее 40 мин.

Getting Started and

Basic Operations

This chapter describes the preparations before starting

flash photography and the basic shooting operations.

Cautions for firing continuous flash

To avoid degrading and damaging the flash head due to

overheating, limit firing the flash continuously at full output

up to 30 times. After firing the flash continuously at full

output for 30 times, allow a rest time of at least 10 min.

If you fire the flash continuously at full output for the above

listed number of times, and then fire the flash again

repeatedly at short intervals, the safety function may

activate and restrict flash firing. With flash firing restriction

level 1, the firing interval is automatically set to approx. 8

sec. If this happens, allow a rest time of at least 40 min.

For details, see “Flash Firing Restriction due to Temperature

Increase” on page 96.

When you are not performing bounce flash photography, set the

<X> bounce mode switch to the <0°> position (p.11). For more

information on bounce flash photography, see Chapter 3 “Bounce

Flash Photography” (p.41).

Install four AA/R6 batteries for power supply.

Installing the Batteries

CAUTION

Do not use “AA/R6 lithium batteries”.

Note that certain AA/R6 lithium batteries may become extremely hot in rare

cases during use. Due to safety reasons, do not use “AA/R6 lithium

batteries”.

When performing continuous flash, do not touch the flash head,

batteries, or the area near the battery compartment.

When continuous flash or modeling flash is repeatedly fired at short

intervals, do not touch the flash head, batteries, or the area near the battery

compartment. The flash head, batteries, and area near the battery

compartment may become hot, resulting in the risk of burn.

Do not use the Speedlite while touching the same part for a long

period of time.

Even if the product does not feel too hot, prolonged contact with the same

body part may cause skin redness or blistering due to low-temperature

contact burns. Using a tripod is recommended in very hot places or for

people with circulation problems or very sensitive skin.

Using AA/R6 batteries other than the alkaline type may cause contact failure

due to the irregular shape of the battery contacts.

When <!> is displayed or the LCD panel display turns off during

recharging, replace the batteries with new ones.

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

batteries, replace all four at one time.

Fully Automatic Flash Photography

Effective flash metering range

If the subject is dark (underexposed) when you check the shot image,

move closer to the subject and shoot again. You can also increase the

ISO speed when using a digital camera.

“Fully automatic” refers to <A>, <1>, and <C> shooting modes.

Even when attached to a camera that supports the E-TTL II autoflash

system, <a> is displayed on the LCD panel.

Simply by setting the camera’s shooting mode to <s> (shutter-priority

AE), <f> (aperture-priority AE), or <a> (manual exposure), you can

execute E-TTL II/E-TTL autoflash suitable for each shooting mode.

If you use the <Z> or <Y> shooting mode, the result will be the same as

using the <d> (Program AE) mode.

1/X sec. is the camera’s maximum flash sync speed.

E-TTL

II/E-TTL Autoflash by Shooting Mode

Select this mode when you want to set the shutter speed manually.

The camera will then automatically set the aperture matching the shutter

speed to obtain the standard exposure based on the metering of the camera.

If the aperture value blinks, it means that the background exposure will

be underexposed or overexposed. Adjust the shutter speed until the

aperture value stops blinking.

Select this mode when you want to set the aperture manually.

The camera will then automatically set the shutter speed, matching the

aperture to obtain the standard exposure based on the metering of the camera.

For low-light scenes, a slow sync speed will be used to obtain the standard

exposure for both the main subject and background. The standard exposure for

the main subject is obtained with the flash light, while the standard exposure for

the background is obtained with a long exposure using a slow shutter speed.

Since a slow shutter speed will be used for low-light scenes, using a

tripod is recommended.

If the shutter speed blinks, it means that the background exposure will

be underexposed or overexposed. Adjust the aperture until the shutter

speed stops blinking.

Select this mode if you want to set both the shutter speed and aperture

manually.

Standard exposure of the main subject is obtained with the flash light. The

exposure of the background changes according to the shutter speed and

aperture combination you set.

E-TTL II/E-TTL Autoflash by Shooting Mode

EOS DIGITAL cameras have three sizes of image sensors, and the

effective shooting angle of view of the attached lens varies depending

on the size of image sensor. 470EX-AI automatically recognizes the

image sensor size of the EOS DIGITAL camera and automatically sets

the flash coverage that is ideal for the effective shooting angle of view of

a lens for the focal length range of 24-105mm.

This function adjusts the white balance depending on the color

temperature of the flash light by transmitting the color temperature

information to the EOS DIGITAL camera when the flash fires. When you

set the camera’s white balance to <A>, <Aw>, or <Q>, the

function is enabled automatically.

Refer to the specifications in your camera’s Instruction Manual to find

out if it is compatible with this function.

See Chapter 3, “Bounce Flash Photography” (p.41-64).

Auto Zoom Adjustment to Image Sensor Size

Color Temperature Information Transmission

Bounce Function

When the <X> bounce mode switch is set to the <0°> position and the

flash head is facing a direction other than straight forward, the <X> lamp

blinks. Pressing the shutter button halfway automatically returns the position

of the flash head to the forward-facing position. (The <X> lamp turns off.)

E-TTL II/E-TTL Autoflash by Shooting Mode

When it is difficult to autofocus on the

subject in low-light or when contrast is

low during viewfinder shooting, the

infrared AF-assist beam built into the

flash is automatically emitted to help

autofocus.

The AF-assist beam supports most of the EOS cameras’ AF points. The

AF-assist beam covers the angle of view of 28 mm or longer lens focal

length, and its effective range (at 28 mm focal length) is approx. 0.7 — 10

m/2.3 — 32.8 ft. at the center in the viewfinder and approx. 1 — 5 m/3.3 —

16.4 ft. at the periphery (AF points other than the center AF point).

AF-Assist Beam

If a peripheral AF point is selected, or a wide-angle or telephoto lens is

used, achieving focus may be difficult with an EOS-dedicated, external

Speedlite’s AF-assist beam. In such a case, use the center AF point or an

AF point close to the center.

During Live View shooting, the AF-assist beam is emitted even when the

AF method is set to [Quick mode].

AF-assist beam firing can be disabled (C.Fn-08, p.86).

The AF-assist beam type that uses intermittent flashes (a series of small

flashes) can be emitted (P.Fn-04, p.89).

Advanced Flash

f Flash Exposure Compensation

Generally, set an increased exposure compensation for bright subjects

and set a decreased exposure compensation for dark subjects.

If the camera’s exposure compensation is set in 1/2-stop increments, flash

exposure compensation will be up to ±3 stops in 1/2-stop increments.

When the flash exposure compensation is set on both the flash and the

camera, priority is given to the flash setting.

Without pressing the <O> button of the <S> cross keys, you can

directly turn <9> and set the amount of flash exposure compensation

(C.Fn-13, p.86).

Each time you press the

button, a preflash will be fired and the

new flash output required at that time

is retained in memory.

7: FE Lock

If a correct exposure cannot be obtained when FE lock is performed,

<Q> blinks in the viewfinder. Move closer to the subject or open the

aperture, and perform FE lock again. You can also set a higher ISO

speed and perform FE lock again when using a digital camera.

If the target subject is too small in the viewfinder, FE lock may not be

effective.

With high-speed sync, you can shoot with a flash even at shutter

speeds that exceed the maximum flash sync shutter speed. This is

effective when you want to shoot in the aperture-priority AE <f>

mode (open aperture) with background blur in locations such as

outdoors in daylight.

Bounce Flash

Photography

This chapter describes functions related to the bounce

flash function, such as flash photography that uses the

AI.B full-auto function, AI.B semi-auto function, manual

bounce, and bounce adapter.

Cautions for the AI Bounce Flash Function

During AI.B full-auto and AI.B semi-auto shooting, the flash

head moves and fires automatically. The flash head may fire in

an unintended direction. Before performing AI bounce flash

photography, be sure to warn those around you. Additionally,

when you want to perform AI bounce flash photography, follow

the precautions below.

• Make sure your eyes are not close to the flash head.

• The flash head may come in contact with objects. Make sure

your face, head, and the like are not close to the flash head.

• The flash head moves. Be sure to hold the camera securely.

• Do not allow your hair or the like to get entangled with the

flash head.

• Be careful of the orientation of the flash head in low angle

shooting.

By pointing the flash head toward a ceiling, you can utilize the reflection

of the flash light off the surface for flash photography, making it possible

to soften the shadows of the subject for a more natural-looking shot.

This shooting technique is called “Bounce flash photography”.

Bounce flash photography allows you to get a more natural-looking shot

compared to techniques that light the subject directly with the flash light.

Shooting with the appropriate exposure, however, may require some

knowledge and experience.

This Speedlite comes with an “AI bounce (AI.B) flash function” that

enables you to perform bounce flash photography automatically. There

are two AI bounce flash modes: “AI.B full-auto mode” and “AI.B semi-

auto mode”. With AI.B full-auto function, the camera performs the

bounce flash photography automatically, requiring only simple

operations.

Slide the <X> bounce mode switch to switch the AI bounce flash

mode.

0° : Set when performing normal flash

photography (not bounce flash

photography).

Y: Allows you to perform “AI.B semi-

auto shooting” (p.45, 56).

Z: Allows you to perform “AI.B full-

auto shooting” (p.43, 46, 48).

AI Bounce Flash

Bounce Mode

When the bounce mode is switched, the flash head automatically moves

to the forward-facing position.

When the flash head is moving, do not touch it.

When you are to perform manual bounce flash photography, set P.Fn-09

to 1 (p.92) and set the switch to the <0°> position.

X AI Bounce Flash

This mode is geared for beginners. In this mode, the camera performs

the bounce flash photography automatically, requiring only simple

operations. When the <X> AI.B full-auto distance measurement start

button is pressed, the flash fires briefly (preflash) to measure the

distance to the subject and the distance to the ceiling for bouncing the

flash light. Based on the result of distance measurement, the orientation

(bounce angle) of the flash head is automatically set.

For AI.B full-auto shooting, see pages 46-55.

W AI.B Full-Auto

Press the <X> button to

perform the following operations automatically.

1. Fires the flash

toward the subject.

2. Fires the flash

toward the ceiling.

3. Sets the bounce

angle automatically.

When using an EOS DIGITAL camera released in or after the second half of

2017 (p.46), you can perform the same distance measurement operation as

described above using the camera’s depth-of-field preview button.

X AI Bounce Flash

Note if you change the orientation (position) of the camera, double-

clicking the camera’s shutter button (pressing the shutter button halfway

two times in a row within a short period) makes the flash head move

automatically, resetting the bounce angle to substantially the same

angle as before you changed the orientaion of the camera.

Change the orientation

(position) from state 3

on previous page.

Resets the bounce

angle to substantially

the same as that in 3.

Depending on the camera used, AI.B full-auto shooting may not be

available. Additionally, even if the camera supports AI.B full-auto shooting,

some operations may be limited. See page 46 for details.

X AI Bounce Flash

This mode is geared for intermediate and advanced photographers.

You can store (register) the bounce angle in the Speedlite by pressing

the <z> button after setting the orientation (bounce angle) of the

Speedlite’s flash head as desired.

For AI.B semi-auto shooting, see pages 56-59.

Note if you change the orientation (position) of the camera, double-

clicking the camera’s shutter button (pressing the shutter button halfway

two times in a row within a short period) makes the flash head move

automatically, resetting the bounce angle to substantially the same

angle as before you changed the orientaion of the camera.

V AI.B Semi-Auto

1. Set the bounce angle as desired. 2. Press the <z> button.

Change the orientation

(position) from state 2.

Resets the bounce

angle to substantially

the same as that in 2.

Depending on the camera used, AI.B (AI bounce flash) full-auto mode

compatibility and some of the operations to start AI.B full-auto shooting

vary (EOS cameras released up to the first half of 2014 do not

support AI.B full-auto shooting).

During AI.B full-auto shooting, the flash fires briefly (preflash) before the

image is shot to measure the distance to the subject and the distance to

the ceiling for bouncing the flash light. This operation automatically sets

an appropriate bounce angle for the subject.

You can perform this operation using one of the following two methods.

The operating procedure differs according to the camera used.

1. Use the Speedlite’s <

> AI.B full-auto distance measurement

start button.

2. Use the camera’s depth-of-field preview button.

camera released in or after the second half of 2017.

When using an EOS DIGITAL camera released in or after the second

half of 2017 and after pressing the depth-of-field button, a shot cannot be

taken during distance measurement operation even when you press the

shutter button completely (release lock). Perform shooting after the

distance measurement operation is complete.

Before performing AI.B (AI bounce flash) full-auto shooting, check if the

camera used supports full-auto bounce flash photography (p.46).

For an overview of AI.B full-auto shooting, see page 43. Additionally,

before performing AI.B full-auto shooting, review the “Safety

Precautions” (p.8), “General Cautions for AI.B Full-Auto Shooting and

AI.B Semi-Auto Shooting” (p.60), and the like.

When performing AI.B full-auto shooting, perform bounce flash

photography using the figure below as reference. Additionally, with the

subject positioned in the center of the screen, press the <X> button

Shooting distance

Approx. 1 — 5 m / 3.3 — 16.4 ft.

Under conditions such as when the subject is far away, the ceiling is far

away, the ceiling is a dark color, the ceiling is stepped or uneven, the

camera’s ISO speed setting is low, or a large aperture value is set,

underexposure (insufficient exposure) is prone to occur.

When the distance to the ceiling is approx. 7 m / 23 ft. or greater

(estimate), or when the shooting angle exceeds approx. 60° upward or

approx. 60° downward, the flash head automatically moves to the

forward-facing position and normal flash shooting is performed without a

<X> button, the preflash will be fired to measure the distance.

When the distance to the subject is short, the bounce angle may be set

to 90° or greater. This is a normal operation. By relaxing the angle in

which the flash light hits the subject (making the incident angle

shallower), you can suppress the shadow on the subject (example: the

shadow beneath the face when taking a picture of a person).

During bounce photography, the flash coverage is set to 50 mm and <

With the position of the flash head moved (inadvertently) after the

distance measurement operation by pressing the <X> button or the

like (with the AI.B lamp blinking), if you press the shutter button halfway

or press any other button on the camera, automatic correction may be

performed to set the bounce angle to the position at the time when it was

automatically set by the distance measurement operation. Note that

when you press the shutter button completely with the AI.B lamp

blinking, the Speedlite will not fire until the flash head is moved to the

appropriate position.

flash head to move automatically, resetting the bounce angle to

substantially the same angle as before you changed the orientation

(position) of the camera.

Pictures are underexposed (insufficiently exposed).

During bounce flash photography, less light reaches the subject and

thus underexposure (insufficient exposure) is prone to occur. Take

the action such as taking the picture as close to the subject as

possible, increasing the camera’s ISO speed, or opening the

aperture of the lens before shooting.

Further, when the ceiling or wall for bouncing the flash light on is too

far away, the ceiling is a dark color, or the ceiling is stepped or

uneven, shooting with the appropriate exposure may not be possible

since not enough light may reach the subject.

The color of the subject is not right.

If the surface for bouncing the flash light is not white, a color cast

may result in the picture or shooting with the appropriate exposure

may not be possible since the bounced flash light may not reach the

subject. Select a ceiling or wall that is close to a white color for

bouncing the flash light off for high reflectance.

If the battery is not installed in the camera, the warning on the Speedlite may

not be correctly displayed when the <X> button is pressed.

When using the FE lock or self-timer, double-click the shutter button, and

once the flash head is reset (automatic correction) to the stored

(registered) position, perform the FE lock operation or shooting.

When a picture is taken with the camera oriented downward or upward,

the appropriate bounce angle may not be automatically set. If this

happens, take the picture using the following technique.

• Perform AI.B semi-auto shooting (p.56)

•Set the <X> switch to the <0°> position so that the flash head is

facing forward (p.42).

• Manual bounce flash photography (p.61)

When the <X> button is pressed during movie shooting, although

AI.B full-auto distance measurement operation (preflash) is performed,

flash photography cannot be performed.

When you turn the flash head, turn it slowly. While it may make a sound

when you turn the flash head, it is not a malfunction. However, it may

result in a mechanical failure if you continuously turn the flash head fast.

During AI.B full-auto shooting, you can fire the flash at the desired bounce

angle as in manual bounce flash photography by pressing the <z>

button after determining the orientation (position) of the camera and

adjusting the flash head.

For an overview of AI.B (AI bounce flash) semi-auto mode, see page 45.

General Cautions for AI.B Full-Auto Shooting and AI.B Semi-Auto

Shooting

If the camera is held at too steep an angle after a change of orientation

(position), automatic bounce angle correction may not be performed. In

addition, automatic bounce angle correction will not be performed when

the change of orientation makes it impossible to reset to the stored

bounce angle.

Since the turning angle of the flash head is indicated in 5° increments,

the angle may be displayed with a margin of error to an extent of 5°

(before and after the automatic correction) such as when the bounce

angle is automatically corrected.

When the flash settings are cleared during AI.B full-auto shooting or AI.B

semi-auto shooting (p.40), the bounce angle stored (registered) in the

Speedlite is cleared. Therefore, pressing the shutter button halfway

returns the flash head to the forward-facing position.

AI bounce flash photography cannot be performed with the release

button on a remote controller or the touch operation of the camera (not

supported).

Notes for AI.B Full-Auto Shooting and AI.B Semi-Auto Shooting

When using an EOS DIGITAL camera released in and after the second half

of 2017 (p.46), “AI_b” is displayed on the camera’s viewfinder as well as the

LCD panel, and [AI BOUNCE] is displayed on the LCD monitor if the flash

head moves in the following three cases, 1, 2, or 3.

1. When the <X> button or the like is pressed for distance measurement

operation during AI.B full-auto shooting (with the camera’s metering timer

active).

2. When bounce angle correction is performed by double-clicking the

shutter button during AI.B full-auto shooting or AI.B semi-auto shooting.

3. When the position of the flash head is (inadvertently) moved by pressing

the shutter button halfway to automatically correct the bounce angle after

distance measurement operation during AI.B full-auto shooting or after

the bounce angle was stored (registered) in the Speedlite during AI.B

semi-auto shooting.

When you want to perform manual bounce flash photography, perform

the following settings and then adjust the orientation of the flash head.

1Set to P.Fn-09-1.

See page 92, then set the Personal

function P.Fn-09 (manual bounce

setting) to 1.

2Set the <X> switch to <0°>.

3Set the bounce angle manually.

Adjust the orientation of the flash

head manually.

You can check the bounce angle in

When P.Fn-09 is set to 0 (p.92), you cannot manually set the bounce

angle (the flash head automatically returns to the 0° position when the

shutter button is pressed halfway even when you manually set the

bounce angle).

If the ceiling or wall for bouncing the flash light on is too far away,

shooting with the appropriate exposure may not be possible since the

bounced flash light may not reach the subject.

If the picture appears dark, use a larger aperture opening (smaller f/

number) and try again. You can also increase the ISO speed when using

a digital camera.

Select a ceiling or wall that is close to a white color for bouncing the flash

light off for high reflectance. If the bounce surface is not white, a color

cast may result in the picture or shooting with the appropriate exposure

may not be possible since the bounced flash light may not reach the

subject.

When Quick flash is fired with bounce flash, underexposure may occur

since the flash output decreases.

When you turn the flash head, turn it slowly. While it may make a sound

when you turn the flash head, it is not a malfunction. However, it may

result in a mechanical failure if you turn the flash head fast.

When the flash head is turned while the flash coverage is set to <L>

(automatic setting), the flash coverage is set at 50 mm and <—> is

displayed.

You can also manually set the flash coverage (p.34).

If you attach the provided bounce adapter to the Speedlite and bounce

the flash light on the ceiling or wall, etc., you can spread the flash light

across a larger area and suppress the shadows on the subject.

Also, if the bounce angle is set to 90

to bounce the flash light on the

ceiling, etc., the diffused flash light emitted from the sides of the bounce

adapter falls on the front of the subject (shooting distance guidance:

within approx. 1.5 m/4.9 ft., at ISO 100 with f/2.8), further suppressing

the shadow on the subject. When shooting portraits, the catchlight effect

can also be obtained.

1Attach the bounce adapter.

Attach the adapter securely to the

flash head until it clicks in place, as

shown.

Check that the display changes to

<H>.

When removing the adapter, follow

the procedure in reverse order. Raise

the removal tab on the lower side of

the adapter, then remove the adapter

from the flash head.

2Take the picture.

During AI.B full-auto shooting (p.48),

pressing the <X> button

automatically sets the bounce angle

so that the flash head is facing toward

the ceiling.

Take the picture with the flash light

bouncing off the ceiling, walls, or the

like.

Combined Use with the Bounce Adapter

“Canon” logo

q Combined Use with the Bounce Adapter

When the bounce adapter is attached, or when the bounce adapter and

the wide panel are used together, underexposure may result since the

flash output decreases. Take necessary countermeasures such as

increasing the ISO speed on the camera or applying flash exposure

compensation (p.30).

Since the flash guide number decreases when the bounce adapter is

attached, focusing with AF-assist beam using a series of small flashes

may not be possible. Using infrared AF-assist beam is recommended

(P.Fn-04-0, p.89).

When Quick flash (p.21) is fired with the bounce adapter attached, taking

the picture after the flash-ready lamp is lit in red is recommended since

the flash output may not be sufficient.

The flash coverage is set automatically when the bounce adapter is

attached. You cannot change the setting.

If you attach the bounce adapter to the flash when using an EOS

DIGITAL camera released up to 2004, set the white balance to <A>. If

you shoot with <Q>, appropriate white balance may not be obtained.

The flash light is further softened when the wide panel (p.35) is used

together with the bounce adapter.

If the subject is dark (underexposed) when you check the shot image,

perform flash exposure compensation (p.30). You can also increase the

ISO speed when using a digital camera.

During AI.B full-auto shooting and AI.B semi-auto shooting, you can

press the <z> button to store (register) the bounce angle in the

Speedlite even when the bounce adapter is mounted.

Wireless Flash Photography:

Optical Transmission

This chapter describes wireless flash photography

using the optical transmission wireless receiver

function.

For the accessories required for optical transmission

wireless shooting, see the system map (p.94).

When the camera’s shooting mode is set to a fully automatic

mode or a Basic Zone mode, the operations in this chapter are

not available. Set the camera’s shooting mode to <d/s/f/

a/bulb(B)> (Creative Zone mode).

You can wirelessly control a 470EX-AI set as an optical

transmission wireless receiver unit using a device equipped

with the optical transmission wireless sender function (p.94).

The device equipped with the optical transmission wireless

sender function is called the “sender”, and a 470EX-AI that is

controlled wirelessly is called a “receiver”.

Using a Canon device equipped with an optical transmission wireless

sender function and 470EX-AI set as a receiver unit, you can easily

take pictures with wireless multiple flash lighting in the same way as

normal E-TTL II/E-TTL autoflash photography.

The system is designed so that the settings of the sender unit are

automatically applied to the wirelessly controlled 470EX-AI (receiver).

Therefore, you do not need to operate the receiver unit during shooting

(except when set as the individual receiver, p.79).

‘Off-Camera Shoe Cord OC-E3

Enables the 470EX-AI to be connected to the camera up to approx.

60 cm / 2 ft. away.

When using a Speedlite without a function for switching the firing groups

(A, B, C) in &, you can use the Speedlite as a receiver in firing group A

during optical transmission wireless shooting (you cannot use it as a

receiver in firing group B or C).

During AI.B full-auto shooting, do not use the Off-Camera Shoe Cord

OC-E3 (an appropriate bounce angle is not automatically set).

Do not use 470EX-AI, attaching it to the Speedlite Bracket SB-E2 (sold

separately) or the like. 470EX-AI does not fit securely to the bracket and

will be somewhat unstable, possibly causing the flash head to come into

contact with the bracket section during AI bounce flash.

When continuous flash or modeling flash is repeatedly fired in short

intervals, the temperature of the flash head, batteries, and the area near

the battery compartment may increase.

When you perform firing repeatedly, the firing interval increases in

steps to avoid degrading or damaging the flash head due to

overheating. When you perform firing repeatedly even more in this

state, flash firing is restricted automatically.

Furthermore, when flash firing is restricted, a warning icon is

displayed to indicate the increase in temperature, and the firing

interval (with which the flash photography can be performed) will be

automatically set to approx. 8 sec. (level 1) or approx. 20 sec. (level 2).

As the internal temperature of the Speedlite increases, the warning is

displayed in two levels. When you perform continuous firing repeatedly

even more in the state in level 1, the state changes to level 2.

The following table shows the number of continuous flashes until the

warning (level 1) is displayed, and the necessary rest time (guideline)

When continuous flash or modeling flash is repeatedly fired at short intervals,

do not touch the flash head, batteries, or the area near the battery

compartment. The flash head, batteries, and area near the battery

compartment may become hot, resulting in the risk of burn.

Do not open or close the battery compartment cover while flash firing is

being restricted. Doing so is very dangerous since the flash firing

restriction is canceled.

Even when level 1 warning is not displayed, the firing interval will be

extended as the flash head begins to heat up.

If level 2 warning is displayed, allow a rest time for at least 40 min.

Even if you stop flash firing after level 1 warning is displayed, level 2

warning may be displayed.

If flash photography is performed in high temperatures, the firing

restrictions may be activated before the number of flashes listed in the

table on the preceding page is fired.

For cautions on the number of flash firings, see page 17 (continuous

flashes) or page 39 (modeling flash).

The Speedlite may not fire in rare cases due to environmental factors

such as temperature rise.

When the bounce adapter is used, the number of continuous flashes

until the warning is displayed becomes slightly fewer.

When C.Fn-22-1 is set (p.87), the warning with red illumination of the

LCD panel will not be displayed even if the temperature of the flash head

rises.

If a problem occurs with the flash, first refer to this Troubleshooting

Guide. If this Troubleshooting Guide does not resolve the problem,

contact your dealer or nearest Canon Service Center.

Troubleshooting Guide

Bounce Flash Photography

When Speedlite is first started and the shutter button on the camera

is pressed halfway with the flash head in a position other than the

forward-facing (0°) position, the flash head automatically moves to

the forward-facing (0°) position.

The AI bounce flash function is activated. When you do not want to

use the AI bounce flash function, set the <X> switch to the <0°>

position (p.42).

When the position of the flash head changes after you press the

<z> button and store (register) the bounce angle in the

Speedlite, pressing the camera’s shutter button halfway returns the

flash head to the registered position.

When Speedlite is not attached to the camera, the “AI.B[”

animation is displayed and the flash head’s AI bounce flash

operation is not performed.

When the orientation (position) of the camera has changed, double-

clicking the shutter button (pressing the shutter button halfway two

times in a row within a short period) activates the bounce angle

correction.

Check whether or not the camera’s depth-of-field preview button

functions as an AI.B full-auto distance measurement start button (p.46).

Check whether or not the camera’s depth-of-field preview button

functions as an AI.B full-auto distance measurement start button

102

Troubleshooting Guide

For warning displays, see page 52.

The flash coverage cannot be manually set in AI.B full-auto

shooting, with the bounce adapter attached, or with wide panel used.

When you want to perform manual bounce flash photography, see

page 61.

During bounce flash photography, less light reaches the subject and

thus underexposure (insufficient exposure) is prone to occur. Take

the action such as taking the picture as close to the subject as

possible, increasing the camera’s ISO speed, or opening the

aperture of the lens before shooting.

When the ceiling or wall for bouncing the flash light on is too far

Canon Speedlite 470EX-AI Specification

The Canon Speedlite 470EX-AI is an innovative camera flash unit designed to enhance photographic lighting with its groundbreaking Auto Intelligent Bounce feature. This feature automatically calculates and adjusts the optimal bounce angle, making it easier for photographers to achieve professional-quality lighting without extensive manual adjustments. The flash unit is equipped with a motorized head that can rotate 180 degrees in both directions and tilt upwards to 120 degrees, providing versatile lighting options and accommodating various shooting environments.

With a guide number of 47 meters at ISO 100, the 470EX-AI offers substantial power for both indoor and outdoor photography. It supports E-TTL/E-TTL II metering for accurate flash exposure and is compatible with Canon’s range of EOS cameras. The flash has a comprehensive zoom range of 24-105mm, which can be extended to 14mm with the built-in wide panel, ensuring coverage for different lens focal lengths.

The Speedlite 470EX-AI also features a dot matrix LCD panel for clear and intuitive navigation through settings and modes. It includes both full and semi-auto bounce settings, allowing photographers to tailor the flash behavior to their specific needs. The unit is powered by four AA batteries, providing convenient and accessible power options, while the energy-efficient design offers a fast recycle time ranging from 0.1 to 5.5 seconds depending on the battery type and condition.

To enable the AI Bounce feature, power on the Speedlite and press the AI.B button. You can then select either the Full-Auto or Semi-Auto setting using the function button.

First, ensure the flash is securely attached to the camera’s hot shoe. Check the batteries to ensure they are charged and correctly installed. Also, verify that the flash settings are configured properly in the camera menu.

To reset the Speedlite 470EX-AI, press and hold the MODE button and the power button simultaneously until the display blinks, indicating that the reset is complete.

The Canon Speedlite 470EX-AI has a guide number of 47 meters (154 feet) at ISO 100. This indicates the flash’s power and how far its light can reach.

No, the Canon Speedlite 470EX-AI cannot be used as a master flash. It can only function as a slave unit in a wireless flash setup.

The Speedlite 470EX-AI automatically adjusts the flash coverage angle based on the focal length of the lens in use. You can also manually adjust it by pressing the ZOOM button and selecting the desired focal length.

Regularly clean the flash head with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust and fingerprints. Check the battery compartment for corrosion and replace batteries as needed. Store the flash in a dry, cool place when not in use.

Canon Speedlite 470EX-AI does not support user-upgradable firmware. Please check with Canon support for any updates that may require professional servicing.

The modeling flash function emits a stroboscopic burst of light, allowing you to preview the lighting effect on the subject before taking a photo. Activate it by pressing the depth-of-field preview button on the camera.
