cHigh-Speed Sync

With high-speed sync (FP flash), the flash can synchronize with all shutter speeds. This is convenient when you want to use aperture priority for fill-flash portraits.

Press the <E> button so that <c> is displayed.

Check that the <F> icon is lit in the viewfinder.

If you set a shutter speed that is the same or slower than the camera’s maximum flash sync speed, <F> will not be displayed in the viewfinder. With high-speed sync, the faster the shutter speed, the shorter the effective flash range will be. Check the LCD panel for the maximum flash range for the respective shutter speed.

To return to normal flash, press the <E> button so that <c> icon turns off.

rSecond-Curtain Sync

With a slow shutter speed, you can create a light trail following the subject. The flash fires right before the shutter closes.

Press the <E> button so that <r> is displayed.

Second-curtain sync works well in the camera’s “buLb” mode.

To return to normal flash, press the <E> button. The <r> icon will disappear.

With E-TTL II/E-TTL, when you press the shutter button completely, a preflash will be fired. Then right before the shutter closes, the main flash is fired.
