Flash Photography with the EOS-Dedicated 550EX Speedlite

FE Lock

Taking FE Lock pictures with the 550EX Speedlite is the same as described in “FE Lock” (→94)

for the built-in flash. In step 1, be sure the 550EX Speedlite pilot lamp is on.

The flash mode may be either normal flash or high-speed sync. The FE lock operates with

either mode.

Flash Exposure Compensation

For flash pictures with flash exposure compensation, see “Flash Exposure Compensation” for

the built-in flash. (→95)

Modeling Flash

light settings.

1Check that the camera and

Speedlite are properly set for flash

photography.

2Press the camera’s depth-of-field

preview button.

●

The Speedlite fires at 70Hz for approximately

one second.

Wireless Multi-Light/E-TTL Autoflash

Photography

The 550EX Speedlite can be operated as a slave light from a master (550EX or ST-E2) for easy

wireless multi-light/E-TTL autoflash photography. The slave 550EX is placed to supplement the

master flash, which provides the primary flash for the subject.

●This is a Type-A camera. For details, refer to the user’s guide for your Speedlite.
