Flash mode With an external Speedlite, you can select the flash mode to suit your flash shooting. [E-TTL II] is the standard mode of EX-series Speedlites for automatic flash shooting. [Manual flash] enables you to set the flash output yourself. This is for advanced users. * For other flash modes, refer to your Speedlite's instruction manual. Shutter sync. Normally, set this to [1st curtain] so that the flash fires immediately after the exposure starts. If [2nd curtain] is set, the flash will fire right before the exposure ends. When this is combined with a slow sync speed, you can create a trail of light such as from car headlights at night. With 2nd curtain sync, two flashes will be fired: Once when you press the shutter button completely, and once immediately before the exposure ends. However, with shutter speeds faster than 1/30 sec., 1st curtain sync will automatically take effect. If an external Speedlite is attached, you can also set [Hi-speed]. For details, see the Speedlite's instruction manual. 148
