Solution

FE Lock

FE lock locks the flash exposure setting over the desired area of the subject. This feature can also be used with a Canon EX-series Speedlite.

* FE stands for Flash Exposure.


1 Press the < > button to pop-up the built-in flash.
  • Press the shutter button halfway and look in the viewfinder to check that the < > icon is lit.

2 Focus the subject.

3 Press the < > button.

Aim the spot-metering circle over the subject, then press the < > button.

The flash will fire a preflash and the required flash output is calculated and retained in memory.

In the viewfinder, "FEL" is displayed for a moment and < > will light.

Each time you press the < > button, a preflash is fired and the required flash output is calculated and retained in memory.

4 Take the picture.

  • Compose the shot and press the shutter button completely.
  • The flash is fired to take the picture.

If the subject is too far away and beyond the effective range of the flash, the <> icon will blink. Get closer to the subject and repeat steps 2 to 4.
