Using Flash With The Camera's Shooting Modes - Canon MR-14EXl Instructions Manual

Using Flash with the Camera's Shooting Modes .......
For E-TTL autoflash shots, just set the camera's shooting mode to P
(Program AE), Av (aperture-priority AE), or M (Manual exposure). For
serious closeup flash photography, Av or M is recommended.
*
When you press the shutter button completely, a preflash is fired
immediately before the picture is taken. The preflash is used to obtain the
subject's reflected-light reading for calculating the optimum output of the
main flash.
Set the camera's shooting mode to P, and the camera will set the flash
aperture and shutter speed automatically. You can thereby concentrate on
the subject.
