Flash exposure compensation

Set it with the Quick ontrol screen (p.50) or [External flash func. setting] under [z2: Flash control] (p.199). With the Quick Control screen, you can set flash exposure compensation in the same way as for the built-in flash. See page 190.

Set this in the same way as for the built-in flash. See steps 2 to 4 on the preceding page.

When it is difficult to achieve focus with autofocus, the EOS-dedicated, external Speedlite will automatically emit the AF-assist beam when necessary.
