You can set the flash-sync speed for 
flash photography in the  aperture-
priority AE mode.
  : Auto
The flash sync speed is set automatically within a range of 1/200 
sec. to 30 sec. to suit the scene’s brightness. High-speed sync is 
also possible.
  : 1/200-1/60sec. auto
Prevents a slow shutter speed from  being set in low-light conditions. 
It is effective for preventing s ubject blur and camera shake. 
However, while the subject will  be properly exposed with the flash, 
the background may come out dark.
  : 1/200 sec. (fixed)
The flash sync speed is fixed at 1/200 sec. This more effectively 
prevents subject blur and camera shake than with [ 1/200-1/60sec. 
auto ]. However, in low light, the subject’s background will come out 
darker than with [ 1/200-1/60sec. auto ].
Flash Sync. Speed in Av Mode
If [1/200-1/60sec. auto ] or [1/200 sec. (fixed) ] is set, high-speed sync is not 
possible in the < f> mode.

 Wireless functions / Flash ratio control
Wireless (multiple) flash shooting is 
possible with radio or optical 
transmission.
For details on wireless flash, refer to the 
Instruction Manual of a Speedlite 
compatible with wireless flash shooting.
With a macro flash (MR-14EX II, etc.) 
compatible with flash function settings, 
you can set the flash ratio between flash 
tubes or flash heads A and B, or use 
wireless flash with additional slave units.
For details on flash ratio control, refer to 
the macro flash’s Instruction Manual.
  Flash zoom (Flash coverage)
With Speedlites having a zooming flash 
head, you can set the flash coverage.

camera will automatically set the flash 
coverage to match the lens focal length.

3 Setting the Flash Function N
 Shutter synchronization
Normally, set this to [First-curtain 
synchronization ] so that the flash fires 
immediately after the exposure starts.
If [ Second-curtain synchronization ] is set, the flash will be fired right 
before the shutter closes. When this  is combined with a slow shutter 
speed, you can create a trail of light su ch as from car headlights at night 
with a more natural feel. When se cond-curtain synchronization is set 
together with [ ETTL II], the flash will be fired twice in a row: once when 
you press the shutter button completely and once right before the end 
of the exposure.
If [ High-speed synchronization ] is set, the flash can be used at all 
shutter speeds. This is effectiv e when you want to shoot with 
background blur (open aperture) in locations such as outdoors in 
daylight.
  Flash exposure compensation
You can set flash exposure 
compensation up to ±3 stops in 1/3-stop 
increments.
For details, refer to the Speedlite’s 
Instruction Manual.
  Flash exposure bracketing
While changing the flash output 
automatically, three shots will be taken.
For details, refer to the Instruction 
Manual of a Speedlite equipped with 
flash exposure bracketing.

Flash Custom Function Settings
When using second-curtain synchroniza tion, set the shutter speed to 1/25 
sec. or slower. If the shutter speed  is 1/30 sec. or faster, first-curtain 
synchronization will be applied automatically even if [ Second-curtain 
synchronization ] is set.
 With an EX-series Speedlite not compatible with flash function settings, 
you can only set the following: [ Flash firing], [E-TTL II meter. ], and 
[ Flash exposure compensation ] under [Flash function settings ]. 
([ Shutter synchronization ] can also be set with certain EX-series 
Speedlites.)
  If flash exposure compensation is set  with the Speedlite, you cannot set 
the flash exposure compensation with the camera. If it is set with both 
the camera and Speedlite, the Speedlite’s setting overrides the camera’s.
With an EX-series Speedlite, the Speedlite will always fire at full output if the 
[ Flash metering mode ] Custom Function is set to [ TTL flash metering] 
(autoflash).
