    Hi
    Can you use this flash Canon 430 EX II, to fire when you shoot a on camera flash. If you use the small flash on the camera, and put the Canon flash away from subject, can this fire off a flash..... How do you set this up....

    You need a trigger - either wireless or infra-red or with a cable.

    The flash from the camera won't automatically make an off-camera flash fire.

    You can if you have a 7D. Otherwise you need triggers as described above

    I think the new 600D has the wireless flash trigger too, not sure about the 60D.

    The only Canon cameras at the moment that can use the pop-up flash to fire a wireless dedicated flash such as the 430EX II are the 600D, 60D and 7D. All the others need an ST-E2 Wireless Transmitter which is around €250 in Ireland.
