Flash mode
When using an external Speedlite, you can select the flash mode to suit
your desired photographic effects.
z
[E-TTL II flash metering]
is the
standard mode of EL/EX-series
Speedlites for automatic flash
photography.
z
[Manual flash]
is the mode for
advanced users who want to set
the
[Flash output]
(1/1 to 1/128)
themselves.
z
Regarding other flash modes, refer to
the instruction manual of a Speedlite
compatible with the respective flash
mode.
z
Shutter synchronization
Normally, set this to
[First-curtain synchronization]
so that the flash
fires immediately after the exposure starts.
If
[Second-curtain synchronization]
is set, the flash will be fired right
before the shutter closes. When this is combined with a slow shutter
speed, you can create a trail of light such as from car headlights at
night with a more natural feel. When second-curtain synchronization is
set together with
[E-TTL II flash metering]
, the flash will be fired twice
in a row: once when you press the shutter button completely and once
right before the end of the exposure. Also, if the shutter speed is 1/100
sec. or faster, first-curtain synchronization will be applied automatically.
If an external Speedlite is attached, you can also select
[High-speed
synchronization]
(
e
). For details, refer to the Speedlite’s instruction
manual.
