on the Hot Shoe, if the Top Status LCD displays a value of 200, the
actual shutter speed is 1/180 sec.

E-TTL Autoflash

With E-TTL (Evaluative Through the Lens) Autoflash, the correct flash
exposure is determined by the DCS Pro SLR/c. The E-TTL Autoflash works in
any Auto Exposure mode. However, you may want to use a tripod to avoid
camera shake for situations where a slow sync speed has been set. The
standard shutter speed range for all flash units is 30 sec. to 1/180 sec.

1. Select one of the following:

Program AE mode (see

page 7-8

)

Aperture Priority AE mode (see

page 7-11

).

Shutter Speed Priority AE mode (see

page 7-12

)

Manual mode (see

page 7-13

)

2. Turn on the flash and verify that the flash charges and its ready light

comes on. Follow the instructions in the flash manual to put it into
E-TTL mode.

The Viewfinder Flash indicator should be on and not flashing.

3. In Program Auto Exposure mode:

In Aperture Priority AE, Shutter Speed Priority AE, or Manual mode:
