Note
Wireless functions You can use radio or optical wireless transmission to shoot with wireless multiple-flash lighting. For details on wireless flash, refer to the Instruction Manual of a Speedlite compatible with wireless flash photography. Firing ratio control (RATIO) With a macro flash, you can set the firing ratio control. For details on firing ratio control, refer to the Instruction Manual of the macro flash. Flash zoom (flash coverage) With Speedlites having a zooming flash head, you can set the flash coverage. Shutter synchronization Normally, set this to [First-curtain synchronization] so that the flash fires immediately after the shooting starts. Set to [Second-curtain synchronization] and use low shutter speeds for natural-looking shots of subject motion trails, such as car headlights. Set to [High-speed synchronization] for flash photography at higher shutter speeds than the maximum flash sync shutter speed. This is effective when shooting with an open aperture in Av mode to blur the background behind subjects outdoors in daylight, for example. Caution
Flash exposure compensation Just as exposure compensation is adjustable, you can also adjust flash output. Note
Flash exposure bracketing Speedlites equipped with flash exposure bracketing (FEB) can change the external flash output automatically as three shots are taken at once. Flash Custom Function SettingsFor details on the Speedlite's Custom Functions, refer to the Instruction Manual of the Speedlite.
