High-Speed Sync (FP Flash)

When the 550EX Speedlite is set to high-speed sync < ® > mode, it can automatically
synchronize at any shutter speed of 1/200 second or faster, thus providing high-speed sync

(FP) flash operation. When high-speed sync is On, the

h

> icon appears in the viewfinder.

High-speed sync is effective for portrait photography in the following situations:
(1) When you want to use daylight sync flash for a portrait, and widen the aperture (reduce

the aperture value) to blur the background.

(2) When you want to produce a catchlight in the subject’s eyes.
(3) When you want to use fill flash to eliminate shadows.

FEB (Flash Exposure Bracketing)

By setting FEB (flash exposure bracketing) <%> with the 550EX, you can bracket the flash

exposure up to +/-3 stops in 1/2-stop increments. The flash output is changed automatically for
each bracketed shot so that the background exposure level remains the same.

Standard exposure (0)

Decreased exposure (-1.0)

Increased exposure (+1.0)

® FEB is applied from the 550EX Speedlite. For details, see the Instractions for your

Speedlite.

9 For best results use (single-frame shooting) drive mode. (->-63)

aaa You can set the camera to change FEB settings in 1/3-stop increments.
