Flash Photography with a Speedlite EX-Series
With a Canon Speedlite EX-Series, flash photography is easy as using the
built-in flash. You can also use the advanced features below.
® This section applies when Speedlite 220EX is attached to the camera.
® E-TTL Autoftash
With E-TTL autoflash (preflash evaluative
metering), an optimum flash exposure is
obtained for the subject in focus. In the
aperture-priority AE mode, a slow sync
speed is set automatically in low-light
conditions to obtain a natural-looking,
balanced exposure between the subject
and background.

High-Speed Sync (FP Flash)
High-speed sync (FP or focal-plane flash) enables flash synchronization
with all of the camera’s shutter speeds from 30 sec. to 1/2000 sec.
FE (Flash Exposure) Lock
FE lock obtains and locks the correct flash exposure for any part of the
subject. This is the flash equivalent of AE lock.
E-TTL is an abbreviation for Evaluative-Through-The-Lens.
With autofocus, the flash exposure is always based on the aperture, and E-TTL
autoflash metering is weighted at the active AF frame assumed to be covering
the main subject.
When it is difficult to autofocus, the Speedlite’s AF-assist beam is emitted
automatically.
When an external, EOS-dedicated Speedlite except the EX-series is used with
the camera, flash photography is as easy as A-TTL/TTL autoflash with the
built-in flash.
