D Flash Photography - Canon MARK II EOS 5D Instruction Manual

D Flash Photography

EOS-dedicated, EX-series Speedlites
An EX-series Speedlite (sold separately) makes flash photography as
easy as normal shooting without flash.
For detailed instructions, see the EX-series Speedlite's instruction
manual. This camera is a Type-A camera that can use all the features
of EX-series Speedlites.
Shoe-mount Speedlites
FE Lock
This enables you to attain a proper flash exposure for a specific part
of the subject. Aim the viewfinder center over the subject, then press
the <A> button and take the picture.
Flash Exposure Compensation
In the same way as normal exposure compensation, you can set
exposure compensation for flash. You can set the flash exposure
compensation up to ±2 stops in 1/3-stop increments (with the
camera).
Press the camera's <m> button, then turn the <5> dial while
looking at the LCD panel or LCD monitor.
Using Non-EX-series Canon Speedlites
With an EZ/E/EG/ML/TL-series Speedlite set in the TTL or A-TTL
autoflash mode, the flash can be fired at full output only.
Set the camera's shooting mode to <a> (manual exposure) or
<f> (aperture-priority AE) and adjust the aperture setting before
shooting.
When using a Speedlite which has manual flash mode, shoot in the
manual flash mode.
