Speedlite 270EX II in Slave Mode

[BazzaBoy]

I have a question about the 270EX II.

How do I use it as a slave with my EOS 6D? The instruction manual says that if I set it to the slave mode, it will fire as a slave with bounced light off another flash. So, I used my 90EX on my camera hot shoe and set the 270EX in the slave mode and set it aside. But nothing happened when my camera flash went off. The 270EX II did not go off.

Does that mean I got a defective flash?

Any help will be appreciated. Thanks.

If you have any more suggestions as to how to make it work with my 90EX please let me know as that would make the camera/flash assembly much lighter to carry around.

As I said in my first post, even a small dental mirror properly placed can reflect the light from the 90EX into the front of the 270EX II and make it work.
