VII. E-TTL Auto Flash System with Canon Speedlite 380EX With Canon Speedlite 380EX, you can use the new E-TTL (EvaluativeThrough-The-Lens) auto flash system which enables FP (Focal-Plane) flash for high-speed sync and synchronization with all shutter speeds and FE (flash exposure) lock. When using Speedlite 380EX, refer to the Speedlite's Instructions. E-TTL Auto Flash System Features Unlike the A-TTL and TTL auto flash systems which used a multiple-zone flash metering sensor to control the flash exposure, the E-TTL auto flash system uses the camera's metering sensor for normal evaluative metering and controls the flash exposure automatically. The E-TTL auto flash system thereby controls the flash exposure with higher precision and boosts the performance of the AIM system (which links the metering and flash exposure to the focusing point). The E-TTL auto flash system controls the exposure of the main subject as well as the background. It combines normal automatic exposure control and flash exposure control for both fill-in flash and low-light conditions. It also enables high-speed sync (FP flash) and FE lock. The basic operation when the camera is used with Speedlite 380EX is described here. For details, refer to Speedlite 380EX's Instructions. 82

VII.
E-TTL
Auto
Flash
System
with
Canon
Speedlite
380EX
With
Canon
Speedlite
380EX,
you
can
use
the
new
E-TTL
(Evaluative
-
Through
-The
-Lens)
auto
flash
system
which
enables
FP
(Focal
-Plane)
flash
for
high-speed
sync
and
synchronization
with
all
shutter
speeds
and
FE
(flash
exposure)
lock.
When
using
Speedlite
380EX,
refer
to
the
Speedlite's
Instructions.
E-TTL
Auto
Flash
System
Features
Unlike
the
A-TTL
and
TTL
auto
flash
systems
which
used
a
multiple
-zone
flash
metering
sensor
to
control
the
flash
exposure,
the
E-TTL
auto
flash
system
uses
the
camera's
metering
sensor
for
normal
evaluative
metering
and
controls
the
flash
exposure
automatically.
The
E-TTL
auto
flash
system
thereby
controls
the
flash
exposure
with
higher
precision
and
boosts
the
performance
of
the
AIM
system
(which
links
the
metering
and
flash
exposure to
the
focusing
point).
The
E-TTL
auto
flash
system
controls
the
exposure
of
the
main
subject
as
well
as
the
background.
It
combines
normal
automatic
exposure
control
and
flash
exposure
control
for
both
fill-in
flash
and
low
-light
conditions.
It
also
enables
high-speed
sync
(FP
flash)
and
FE
lock.
The
basic
operation
when
the
camera
is
used
with
Speedlite
380EX
is
described
here.
For
details,
refer
to
Speedlite
380EX's
Instructions.
