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.
