7: Fe Lock (M) - Canon Speedlite 430EX 2 Instruction Manual

7: FE Lock
FE (flash exposure) lock locks the correct flash exposure setting for any
part of the scene.
With <a> displayed on the LCD panel, you press the camera's
<7> button. If the camera does not have the <7> button, press
the <P> button.
If the subject is too far away and underexposure will result, the <Q> icon
will blink in the viewfinder. Move closer to the subject and try the FE lock
again.
If <a> is not displayed on the LCD panel, FE lock cannot be set.
If the target subject is too small in the viewfinder, the FE lock might not
be very effective.
Focus the subject.
1
Press the <7> button.

memory.
"FEL" will be displayed in the
viewfinder for 0.5 sec.
Each time you press the <7>
button, a preflash will be fired and a
new flash exposure reading will be
locked.
