Flash Exposure Confirmation; Fill Flash - Canon SPEEDLITE 220EX Instructions Manual

Fully Automatic Flash Operation

Fill Flash

Even in daylight, you can use the flash as fill light to reduce harsh
shadows or dark, backlit portrait subjects by filling the shadows with
the flash.
When the Speedlite 220EX is used with a camera that is set to fully-auto-
matic flash operation, the fill flash output may be reduced automatically
to balance the exposure between the subject and the background. This is
called autoflash output reduction.
