When you press the shutter button completely, the Speedlite fires a test preflash
immediately before the shutter is released. The flash exposure reading obtained with the
preflash is used to calculate the optimum output of the main flash.
The exposure for the background is set with the shutter speed and aperture.

lf flash is used in the DEP (Depth-of-field AE) mode, it will be the same as using
flash in the Program AE mode.
