Flash with Other Modes

The E-TTL autoflash control
system can be used with Type A
cameras set to the P (Program
AE), Av (Aperture-priority AE),
Tv (Shutter speed-priority AE),
or M (Manual) mode.

■ When you press the shutter button

halfway, the shutter speed and
aperture settings are displayed in
the viewfinder as in any AE mode.

• The shutter speed and aperture are set automatically when the camera

is set to the P mode as in fully-automatic flash operations.

• If the flash is used in the DEP (Depth-of-field AE) mode or the

Programmed Image Control modes, it will be similar to using flash in
the P mode.

Manually set

• Manually set refers to the setting by the user. Automatically set refers to the set-

ting computed by the Speedlite 220EX and camera.

• 1/X sec. refers to the camera maximum sync speed (see page 40).

* 1/90 sec. only for the EOS REBEL G, and EOS 500N cameras.

■ The Speedlite 220EX fires a test preflash immediately before the shutter is

released. After obtaining an initial flash exposure reading with the preflash, the
Speedlite 220EX fires the main flash to provide optimum flash exposure.

■ The exposure for the background is determined with the shutter speed and

aperture settings.

■ The E-TTL indicator on the rear of the Speedlite 220EX lights automatically

when the power is turned on and the shutter button is pressed halfway.
