Speedlite 220EX with Type A Cameras
When the Speedlite 220EX is used with Type A cameras, the sophisticated E-TTL (Evaluative-
Through-The-Lens) autoflash control system can be used. The E-TTL autoflash control system uti-
lizes the camera evaluative metering sensor which is linked to the focusing point to meter accurate
flash exposures. Thus, flash exposure control is more precise, resulting in a balanced exposure for
both subject and background in fill flash or low light conditions. By combining automatic exposure
control and flash exposure control, natural-looking photographs can be captured readily even under
difficult lighting conditions for optimum flash exposure. In addition, the Speedlite 220EX provides
the following advanced flash techniques for amateur and professional flash applications: FP (Focal
Plane) flash which enables synchronization with all shutter speeds (high-speed sync), and FE
(Flash Exposure) lock which locks the flash exposure reading for the desired area to provide
greater creative control.
