Flash transmitter for Canon DSLRs
The Canon Speedlite Transmitter ST-E3-RT Version 3 mounts on a standard hot shoe and provides radio-controlled, two-way wireless flash control. It is designed for photographers who use Canon DSLRs and want to manage multiple Speedlites from the camera. It is not compatible with cameras that use a multi-function shoe, so buyers with those bodies cannot use this transmitter.
Wireless range and group limits
Radio transmission reaches up to 98.4 feet and supports up to five groups or fifteen individual Speedlites. The dot matrix LCD with backlighting shows settings clearly, and intuitive controls let you adjust groups and power levels directly on the transmitter. These are the practical limits of the wireless system; no longer range or larger group counts are available with this unit.
Minimum flash output granularity
The transmitter can set flash power down to 1/8192, giving very fine control over fill light in dark scenes. FE Memory locks an E-TTL exposure value so you can reuse it across a complex multi-flash setup without re-metering. This precision is the specification that determines whether the unit meets your low-light and repeatability needs.
