[E-TTL II] is the standard mode of EX-series Speedlites for automatic flash shooting. [Manual flash] is for advanced users who want to set the [Flash output] (1/128 to 1/1 ) themselves. Regarding other flash modes, refer to the instruction manual of an external Speedlite compatible with the functions.

For details, refer to the Speedlite's instruction manual. Flash exposure compensation See "Flash Exposure Compensation" on page 124. 234
