C.Fn-14 E-TTL II 
0: Evaluative
Fully automatic flash photography fo r all conditions, from low light 
to daylight fill-flash.
1: Average
The flash is averaged for the entire area covered by the flash. Since automatic 
flash exposure compensation will not be  executed, you may have to set it 
yourself depending on the scene. This also applies if you use FE lock.
C.Fn-15 Shutter curtain sync.

The following program line applies when the camera is in Program AE 
 mode.
Program Line Description
The lower horizontal axis represents the shutter speed, and the right-
hand vertical axis represents the aper ture. The combinations of shutter 
speed and aperture automatically determined by Program AE are 
shown as lines with respect to the  subject brightness (Exposure Value) 
gradations on the left and top edges of the graph.
Example: Using an EF-S17-85mm f/4-5. 6 IS USM lens with a subject 
brightness of EV8, the point where the diagonal line from EV8 
(on the top edge) intersects the Program AE line represents 
the corresponding shutter speed (1/15 second) and aperture 
(f/4) that the program sets automatically.
The diagonal arrowed lines at the upper left indicate the 
metering range for each ISO speeds.
