*1 E-TTL mode is used for the flash.

*2 M mode is used for the flash. In [

D] shooting mode, E-TTL mode is also available for

the flash. In this case, when the flash fires, flash exposure compensation set on the

flash is applied to the flash output level set on the camera.

compensation set on the flash is [+0]. When you adjust flash exposure compensation
on 600EX-RT, 600EX, 580EX II, or 430EX II Speedlites, the camera display will be
updated accordingly.
