When you press the shutter button completely, the Speedlite fires. The flash output is

automatically when the correct exposure is attained) according to the set aperture

The exposure for the background is set with the shutter speed and aperture.

» When the 380EX is used with a Type-B EOS camera, the FP flash switch does

not function.

• Using the 380EX in the depth-of-field AE mode obtains the same result as

using it in the Program AE mode.
