3 Setting the Flash FunctionN
Flash mode
When using an external Speedlite, you can select the flash mode to
suit your desired photographic effects.
[E-TTL II] is the standard mode of
EX-series Speedlites for automatic
flash photography.
[Manual flash] is the mode for
advanced users who want to set the
[Flash output] (1/1 to 1/128)
themselves.
Regarding other flash modes, refer to
the instruction manual of a Speedlite
compatible with the respective flash
mode.
Shutter synchronization
Normally, set this to [
First-curtain synchronization
] so that the flash
fires immediately after the exposure starts.
If [
Second-curtain synchronization
] is set, the flash will be fired
right before the shutter closes. When this is combined with a slow
shutter speed, you can create a trail of light such as from car headlights
at night with a more natural feel. When second-curtain synchronization
is set together with [
E-TTL II
], the flash will be fired twice in a row: once
when you press the shutter button completely and once right before the
end of the exposure. Also, if the shutter speed is 1/30 sec. or faster,
first-curtain synchronization will be applied automatically.
If an external Speedlite is attached, you can also select [
High-speed
synchronization
] (
e
). For details, refer to the Speedlite’s instruction
manual.
Wireless functions
When performing the optical transmission wireless flash
photography using the master function of the built-in flash, see
“Using Wireless Flash” on page 217. When performing the wireless
flash photography with radio or optical transmission using the
master function of the external Speedlite, refer to the Speedlite’s
instruction manual.
Flash exposure compensation
See “Flash Exposure Compensation” on page 206.
