Locking the Flash Exposure Setting (FE Lock)

This feature is only available in the P, Tv, and Av modes.

You can obtain the correct exposure regardless of the location of your subject in the composition.

1. Set the flash to fire and press the button to display on the LCD monitor (or viewfinder).
   
2. Focus the AF frame or the spot metering frame on the subject on which you wish to lock the flash exposure setting and press the shutter button halfway.
   
3. While pressing the shutter button halfway, press the <ISO> button.
   
   • The flash exposure compensation setting locks (FE Lock) and the icon appears on the LCD monitor (or viewfinder).
   • The flash will fire a pre-flash and lock the flash exposure to the required intensity to illuminate the subject.
   • Each time you press the button, the flash exposure locks at the required intensity for that composition.
   • Using any button or lever other than the omni selector cancels the FE lock.
     
4. Recompose the image and shoot.

The FE lock function is not available when [Flash Adjust] is set to [Manual].
