Canon 380EX - Manual (Page 2)

Thank you for purchasing a Canon product.
The Canon Speedlite 380EX is a Canon EOS-dedicated autofocus zoom flash unit featuring
the newly-developed E-TTL (Evaluative-Through-The-Lens) auto flash control system, It also
has two new features: FP (Focal-Plane) flash and FE (Flash Exposure) lock. FP flash enables
the Speedlite to synchronize with all shutter speeds (high-speed sync) while FE lock locks the
flash exposure reading for a specific area. These new features are available when Speedlite
380EX is coupled to a Type-A camera (see below),
Other features include auto flash-exposure compensation, auto flash exposure with a
manually-set shutter speed and aperture, second-curtain synchronization, and multiple-flash
compatibility.
When used with a Type-B camera, Speedlite 380EX operates as a TTL autofocus zoom flash
unit.
The features available with Speedlite 380EX differ depending on the camera it is used with.
