Flash Photography with Speedlite 550EX

Flash Exposure Compensation

When an EOS-dedicated Speedlite is used, you can set flash exposure compensation with the camera up to ±3 stops in 1/3-stop increments.

1 While pressing the < > button, turn the < > dial to set the desired flash exposure compensation amount.

• On the LCD panel, the plus side of the scale indicates overexposure and the minus side indicates underexposure. The sample LCD panel on the left shows a flash exposure compensation amount of +2/3 stop.

2 Release the < > button and the normal display returns.

• Press the shutter button halfway to display the flash exposure compensation amount on the viewfinder’s exposure level scale.

• Press the < > button to display the flash exposure compensation amount on the LCD panel.

• To cancel flash exposure compensation, set the flash exposure compensation amount to < >.

CF Custom Function CF-6 enables the flash exposure compensation amount to be set in half-stop increments. See page 112.

•The flash exposure compensation amount is retained even when the < > switch is set to < >.

•The flash exposure compensation amount can also be set with certain Canon Speedlites. If flash exposure compensation is set with both the camera and the Speedlite, the flash exposure compensation amount set with the Speedlite will override the one set with the camera.
