II. Speedlite 380EX with Type-A Cameras

With a Type-A camera, you can use Speedlite 380EX’s E-TTL auto flash

system. The E-TTL auto flash system uses the camera’s focusing point-

linked, evaluative metering sensor to meter the flash exposure. Flash

exposure control is more precise, resulting in a balanced exposure for
both the subject and background in fill-flash or low-light conditions.
Automatic exposure control and flash exposure control are therefore
combined. FP flash and FE lock can also be easily set.

1. Fully-Automatic Flash Operation

For fully-automatic flash operation, attach Speedlite 380EX to a Type-A

camera and set the camera to Program AE { P) or Full Auto (D). The E-

TTL auto flash system then sets the camera’s sync speed and aperture

automatically.
