Someone misinformed you. There are two models:

Quote:

Sigma makes two flash units which appear almost identical but differ significantly in features.

EF-610 DG ST — relatively inexpensive, but very powerful and capable.
EF-610 DG Super — keeps the same high power and adds wireless P-TTL, high-speed sync, better manual control, and a few more features.

Only the Super not the ST is wireless P-TTL capable.

The site is aging a bit but still fairly accurate.
