both the normal flash and high-speed sync (FP flash) modes.

Flash Exposure Compensation

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

the built-in flash. (→91)

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 approxi-

mately one second.

Wireless Multi-Flash/E-TTL Autoflash Shooting

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

easy wireless multi-flash/E-TTL autoflash photography. The slave 550EX is placed to supple-

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

●This is a Type-A camera. For details, refer to the instractions for your master Speedlite.

Macro Ring Lite MR-14EX and Macro Twin Lite MT-24EX can also be used as the

master unit, and Speedlite 420EX can also be used as a slave unit.
