ilSMIl Setting the Flash*

Shutter sync.

Normally, set this to [1st

curtain]

so that the flash fires Immediately

after the exposure starts.

If

[2nd curtain]

Is set, the flash will fire right before the exposure

ends. When this Is combined with a slow sync speed, you can create
a trail of light such as from car headlights at night. With 2nd-curtaln
sync, a preflash Is fired when you press the shutter button
completely. This Is to determine the exposure. Then Immediately

before the exposure ends, the real flash Is fired. Therefore, two

flashes will be fired. However, with shutter speeds faster than 1/30

sec., 1st curtain sync will automatically take effect.

If an external Speedllte Is attached, you can also set

[Hi-speed].

For

details, see the Speedlite’s instruction manual.

Flash exposure compensation

See

“W

Flash Exposure Compensation” on page 102.

E-TTL II flash metering

For normal flash exposures, set it to

[Evaluative]. [Average]

Is for

advanced users. As with an external Speedllte, the metering area Is
averaged. Flash exposure compensation may be necessary.

Clear flash settings

On the

[External flash func. setting]

screen, press the

<DISR>

button to display the screen to clear the flash settings.

When you

select [OK], the settings for the built-in flash and external

Speedllte will be cleared.
