FAQ
Reader questions
Do I need a separate receiver on each flash when using the ST-E3-RT transmitter?
Yes, each off-camera flash requires a compatible receiver built into the flash or hot shoe, but the ST-E3-RT handles multiple groups without additional transmitters.
Can I use the rented Canon Speedlite transmitter for video lighting with HSS?
Yes, if your camera and flash support high-speed sync, you can use the transmitter for video lighting at shutter speeds above 1/200s with gradual exposure control.
What happens if the optical trigger fails during a wedding shoot?
Radio mode typically remains reliable; if optical line-of-sight fails, the radio channel on the ST-E3-RT and flash pair should still communicate without interruption.
Is battery life affected when renting and using the Speedlite transmitter in cold weather?
Cold temperatures can reduce battery performance, so it is wise to bring spare batteries or an external power bank and keep spares warm in an inside pocket.
