3 Setting the Flash
Functions settable under [Flash function settings]
On the screen, the settable functions and what’s displayed will
differ depending on the Speedlite, current flash mode, flash
Custom Function settings, etc.
To see which functions your Speedlite provides, refer to the Speedlite’s
instruction manual.
Flash mode
With an external Speedlite, you can select the flash mode to suit
your flash shooting.
[E-TTL II] is the standard mode of
EX-series Speedlites for automatic
flash shooting.
[Manual flash] is for users who want
to set the [Flash output] (1/1 to 1/
128) themselves.
[MULTI flash] is for users who want
to set the [Flash output],
[Frequency], and [Flash count]
themselves.
For [
TTL
], [
AutoExtFlash
], and
[
Man.ExtFlash
], refer to the instruction
manual of the Speedlites which
provide the respective flash mode.
Shutter sync.
Normally, set this to [1st curtain] so that the flash fires immediately
after the exposure starts.
If [
2nd curtain
] is set, the flash will fire right before the shutter closes.
When this is combined with a slow sync speed, you can create a trail
of light such as from car headlights at night. With 2nd curtain sync,
two flashes will be fired: Once when you press the shutter button
completely, and once immediately before the exposure ends.
If [Hi-speed] is set, the flash can be used with all shutter speeds.
This is especially effective for portraits using fill flash when you want
to give priority to the aperture setting.
