*1 The flash will be set to E-TTL mode.

*2 The flash will be set to D mode.

You can also set the flash to E-TTL mode, when in Dmode. In this case, the flash will fire at the flash output set on the camera in combination with the flash exposure compensation amount set on the flash.

*3 Flash exposure compensation can only be set when [Flash Mode] is set to [Auto], and the value on the flash is set to [+0]. If the flash exposure compensation amount is changed on the flash, the screen display will also change.

*4 The flash output can be adjusted if [Flash Mode] is set to [Manual]. The settings will be synchronized on the flash.

*5 1/64 for Speedlite 430EX II, 320EX, 270EX II and 270EX.

*6 Settings aside from On/Off are set on the flash. Cannot be set on Speedlite 430EX II, 320EX, 270EX II or 270EX. Additionally, when set to [On], [Shutter Sync.] cannot be set to [2nd- curtain]. Even if you set [Shutter Sync.] to [2nd-curtain], it will change to [1st-curtain].

*7 Can only be set if [Flash Mode] is set to [Auto].

*8 Resets settings to their default values. [Slow Synchro], [Safety FE], [Red-Eye Corr.] and [Red- Eye Lamp] can also be returned to their default values using [Reset All] in the camera's 3 menu (p. 47).

If the camera is set to mode, flash settings can be adjusted the same as when in G mode.
