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.

Cautions for firing continuous flashes
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.
7
Installing the Batteries
COPY
Install four size-AA batteries.
Open the cover.
1
Slide the battery compartment cover
as shown by the arrow and open it.
Install the batteries.
2
Make sure the + and – battery
contacts are correctly oriented as shown in the battery compartment.
Close the cover.
3
Close the battery compartment cover
and slide it as shown by the arrow.
Recycling Time and Flash Count
Recycling Time (Approx.) Flash Count (Approx.)
0.1 - 3.0 sec. 200 - 1400
Based on new size-AA alkaline batteries and Canon’s testing standards.
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.

10
Fully Automatic Flash Shooting
COPY
When you set the camera’s shooting mode to <V> (Program AE) or <U> (Full Auto), E-TTL II/E-TTL fully automatic flash will make it as easy as normal AE shooting in the <V> and <U> modes.
Set the Speedlite to <a>.
1
Press the <D> button so that
<a> is displayed.
Maximum effective range
When you press the shutter button
halfway, the maximum effective range (distance) of the flash will be displayed.
Focus the subject.
2
Press the shutter button halfway to
s.
focu
X The shutter speed and aperture will
be set as displayed in the viewfinder.
Check that the <Q> icon is lit in the
viewfinder.
Take the picture.
3
X
When you press the shutter button completely, the flash will fire and the picture will be taken.
X If a standard flash exposure was
obtained, the flash exposure confirmation lamp (green) will light for about 3 sec.
If the lens focal length blinks on the LCD panel, the periphery of the flash picture may turn out dark. Use the built-in wide panel (p.18).
<a> will be displayed on the LCD panel even if the camera is
compatible with E-TTL II.
If the flash exposure confirmation lamp does not light, move closer to the
subject and take the picture again. With a digital camera, you can also increase the camera’s ISO speed.
11
Using E-TTL II and E-TTL Autoflash in the Shooting Modes
COPY
Just set the camera’s shooting mode to <X> (shutter-priority AE), <W> (aperture-priority AE), or <q> (manual) and you can use E-TTL II/E-TTL autoflash.
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 a standard exposure.
X
If the aperture display blinks, it means that the background exposure will
be underexposed or overexposed. Adjust the shutter speed until the aperture display 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 a standard exposure. If the background is dark like a night scene, a slow sync speed will be used to obtain a standard exposure of both the main subject and background. Standard exposure of the main subject is obtained with the flash, while a
W
standard exposure of the background is obtained with 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 display blinks, it means that the background
exposure will be underexposed or overexposed. Adjust the aperture until the shutter speed display stops blinking.
Select this mode if you want to set both the shutter speed and aperture manually.
q
Standard exposure of the main subject is obtained with the flash. The exposure of the background is obtained with the shutter speed and aperture combination you set.
If you use the <Z> or <Y> shooting mode, the result will be the same as
using the <V> (Program AE) mode.
Flash Sync Speeds and Apertures Used
Shutter Speed Setting Aperture Setting
V Set automatically (1/X sec. - 1/60 sec.) Automatic X Set manually (1/X sec. - 30 sec.) Automatic W Set automatically (1/X sec. - 30 sec.) Manual

compensation, set the amount to “+0.”
Press the <8> button.
3
X Flash exposure compensation will be
set.
If flash exposure compensation has been set with both the Speedlite and camera, the Speedlite’s flash exposure compensation amount will override the camera’s.
Using <9>
This is for setting various numeric settings. Pressing the <6> (plus) button increases the number, while the <5> (minus) button decreases the number.
14
7: FE Lock
COPY
FE (flash exposure) lock locks the correct flash exposure setting for any part of the scene. With <a> displayed on the LCD panel, you press the camera’s <7> button. If the camera does not have the <7> button, press the <P> button.
Focus the subject.
1
Press the <7> button. (3)
2
Aim the subject at the center of the
viewfinder and press the <7> button.
X The Speedlite fires a preflash, then
the required flash output is retained in memory.
X FEL” will be displayed in the
viewfinder for 0.5 sec.
Each time you press the <7>
button, a preflash will be fired and a new flash exposure reading will be locked.
If the subject is too far away and underexposure will result, the <Q> icon
will blink in the viewfinder. Move closer to the subject and try the FE lock again.
If <a> is not displayed on the LCD panel, FE lock cannot be set. If the target subject is too small in the viewfinder, the FE lock might not
be very effective.
15
cHigh-Speed Sync
COPY
With high-speed sync (FP flash), the flash can synchronize with all shutter speeds. This is convenient when you want to use aperture priority for fill-flash portraits.
Press the <E> button so that <c> is displayed.
Check that the <F> icon is lit in the
viewfinder.
If you set a shutter speed that is the same or slower than the camera’s
maximum flash sync speed, <F> will not be displayed in the viewfinder.
With high-speed sync, the faster the shutter speed, the shorter the
effective flash range will be. Check the LCD panel for the maximum flash range for the respective shutter speed.
To return to normal flash, press the <E> button so that <c> icon
turns off.
rSecond-Curtain Sync
With a slow shutter speed, you can create a light trail following the subject. The flash fires right before the shutter closes.
Press the <E> button so that <r> is displayed.
Second-curtain sync works well in the camera’s “buLb” mode. To return to normal flash, press the <E> button. The <r> icon will
disappear.
With E-TTL II/E-TTL, when you press the shutter button completely, a
preflash will be fired. Then right before the shutter closes, the main flash is fired.
16
Bounce Flash
COPY
By pointing the flash head toward a wall or ceiling, the flash will bounce off the surface before illuminating the subject. This can soften shadows behind the subject for a more natural-looking shot. This is called bounce flash.
Set the Bounce Direction
Hold down the <z> button and turn the flash head.
If the flash coverage is set automatically, the flash coverage will be fixed to 50mm. The LCD panel will also display <Zoom Omm>.
You can also set the flash coverage manually. (p.18)
If the wall or ceiling is too far away, the bounced flash might be too weak
and result in underexposure.
The wall or ceiling should be a plain, white color for high reflectance. If
the bounce surface is not white, a color cast may result in the picture.
After you take the shot, if the flash exposure confirmation lamp does not
light, use a larger aperture opening and try again. With a digital camera, you can also increase the ISO speed.
17
H: Setting the Flash Coverage and Using the Wide Panel
COPY
The flash coverage can be set to match the lens focal length from 24mm to 105mm. The flash coverage can be set automatically or manually. Also, with the built-in wide panel, the flash coverage will be compatible with ultra wide-angle lenses as short as 14mm.
Press the <G> button.
Press the <9> button to change the
flash coverage.
If <d> is not displayed, the flash
coverage will be set automatically.
If you set the flash coverage manually, make sure it covers the lens focal length so that the picture will not have a dark periphery.
Using the Wide Panel
Pull out the wide panel and place it as shown.
The <G> button will not
work.
The flash coverage will not be compatible with the EF15mm f/2.8
Fisheye lens.
For the effective lens focal length (or crop factor), refer to the camera’s
instruction manual.
If you use bounce flash with the wide panel in place, the entire display on
the LCD panel will blink as a warning. Since the subject will be illuminated by both the bounce flash and direct flash, it will look unnatural.
Pull out the wide panel gently. Using excessive force may detach the
wide panel.
18
q: Manual Flash
COPY
You can set the flash output from 1/64 power to 1/1 full power in 1/3­stop increments. Use a hand-held flash meter to determine the required flash output to obtain a correct flash exposure. Setting the camera’s shooting mode to <W> or <q> is recommended.
Press the <D> button so

Auto Zoom for Image Sensor Size
COPY
EOS DIGITAL cameras have one of three image sensor sizes. The lens’ effective focal length will differ depending on the camera’s sensor size. The Speedlite automatically recognizes the EOS DIGITAL camera’s sensor size and automatically sets the flash coverage for lens focal lengths from 24mm to 105mm. When the Speedlite is attached to a compatible camera, <s> will appear on the Speedlite’s LCD panel.
About Color Temperature Information Transmission
When the flash fires, the color temperature information is transmitted to the EOS DIGITAL camera. This feature optimizes the flash picture’s white balance. When the camera’s white balance is set to <A> or <Q>, it will work automatically. To see if this feature works with your camera, see the Specifications in your camera’s instruction manual.
About the AF-Assist Beam
Under low-light or low-contrast conditions when autofocus cannot be achieved, the built-in AF-assist beam will be emitted automatically to make it easier to autofocus. The 430EX II’s AF-assist beam is compatible with the AF points of almost all EOS cameras. The AF­assist beam is compatible with 28mm and longer lenses. The effective range is shown below.

Wireless Flash
COPY
With multiple Canon Speedlites having the wireless flash feature, you can create various lighting effects with the same ease as using normal E-TTL II autoflash. The settings you input with the master unit attached to the camera are also automatically transmitted to the slave units which are controlled by the master unit via wireless. Therefore, you need not operate the slave unit(s) at all during the shoot. For details on wireless flash photography and operating the master unit, see the master unit’s instruction manual. The procedure below applies to a master unit attached to the camera and slave unit(s) controlled by wireless.
Set the master unit.
1
Attach the master unit Speedlite to
the camera and set it as necessary.
Set the 430EX II as the slave unit.
2
Hold down the <G >
button for 2 sec. or more.
Check the communication
3
channel.
If the master unit and slave unit(s) are
set to a different channel, set them all to the same channel (p.29).
Set the slave ID.
4
Set the slave ID when using two (A
and B) or three (A, B, and C) slave groups (p.30).
Position the camera and

Use the mini stand (tripod socket provided) to prop up the slave unit.
COPY
Use the bounce feature to swing the slave unit’s flash body so that
the wireless sensor faces the master unit.
Indoors, the wireless signal can also bounce off the wall so there is
more leeway in positioning the slave unit(s).
After positioning the slave unit(s), be sure to test the wireless flash
operation before shooting.
Do not place any obstacles between the master unit and slave
unit(s). Obstacles can block the transmission of wireless signals.
Even with multiple slave units, all of them will be controlled in the same
way via wireless.
The Speedlite’s zoom setting will be set automatically to 24mm. It is
possible to change the master unit’s zoom setting. However, note that the master unit transmits wireless signals to the slave unit(s) with the preflash. Therefore, the flash coverage must cover the slave unit’s position. If you change the master unit’s zoom setting, be sure to test the wireless flash operation before shooting.
If the slave unit’s auto power off takes effect, press the master unit’s test
firing button to turn on the slave unit.
If the 430EX II is set as a slave unit and remains in auto power off mode
for more than 8 hours, it will not turn on even if you try to fire a test flash with the master unit. In this case, press the slave unit’s test firing button to turn it on.
A test flash cannot be fired while the camera’s operation timer 4 or 0
is active.
28
Using Fully Automatic Wireless Flash
COPY
Flash exposure compensation and other settings set with the master unit will also be automatically set in the slave units. Thus, you need not operate the slave unit(s). Wireless flash with the following settings can be done in the same way as with normal flash shooting.
• Flash exposure compensation • FEB
• High-speed sync (FP flash) • Manual flash
• FE lock • Stroboscopic flash
With FE lock, if even one Speedlite will result in underexposure, the <Q>
icon will blink in the viewfinder. Open the aperture more or move the slave unit closer to the subject.
With a wireless flash system, the master unit’s settings will not be
displayed on the 430EX II’s LCD panel.
Setting the Communication Channel
If there is another Canon wireless flash system nearby, you can change the channel No. to prevent signal confusion. Both the master and slave units must be set to the same channel No.
Press the <G> button
1
so that <w> blinks.
Set the channel No.
