Not necessarily. For examply my old slave trigger is not so sensitive.
It's going to be difficult to get the ETTL preflash to set it off. And
of course it depend on how it's pointed and how much light it
receives.

And since it's light is strictly for the background, it's not really
going to affect exposure, or at least it'll be a consistantcy one can
work with.

Depend on how one is metering. ETTL is a funny thing sometimes as are
all TTL systems. That' why I like the 550EX. I can use manual power
and no preflash. Sometimes ETTL is not the answer, like in a studio
portrait. It's just not needed.
