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)
