Flash shot with Speedlite 550EX
Macro Ring Lite MR-14EX and Macro Twin Lite MT-24EX can also be used as the
master unit, and Speedlite 420EX can also be used as a slave unit.
FE Lock
The procedure for setting FE lock is the same as with the built-in flash (
→p.100). FE lock
works in both the normal flash and high-speed sync (FP flash) modes.
Flash Exposure Compensation
For flash shots with flash exposure compensation, see “Flash Exposure Compensation” for the
built-in flash. (
→p.101)
Flash exposure compensation can also be set with certain EX-series Speedlites. If flash
exposure compensation is set with both the Speedlite and camera, the Speedlite’s flash
exposure compensation setting will override the camera's.
Modeling Flash
Modeling flash allows you to see shadows, light balance, and other effects produced by multi-
flash settings.
Check that the camera and Speedlite are
properly set for flash shot. 1
Press the camera’s depth-of-field pre-
view button.
