E-TTL Autoflash in Other Shooting Modes
Even in the Tv, Av, and M modes, E-TTL autoflash can be used as easily
as without flash.
(1) When you press the shutter button, the shutter speed and aperture
are set by the camera as usual.
(2) When you press the shutter button completely, preflash evaluative
metering based on the aperture setting is used for the flash exposure.
(3) The background exposure is set by the shutter speed and aperture
combination.
