19Just set the camera’s shooting mode to <W> (aperture-priority AE) or<O> (manual exposure) to enable macro flash shooting with E-TTL II/E-TTL autoflash.This mode is effective for controlling the depth of field or obtaining thestandard exposure for both the subject and background. You set theaperture as desired, and the shutter speed is set automatically (30 sec.- 1/X* sec.) to obtain the standard background exposure. Based on theset aperture, E-TTL II/E-TTL autoflash is used for the shot.Since a slow shutter speed will be used for low-light scenes, using a tripod isrecommended.If the shutter speed display blinks, it means that the background exposure willbe underexposed or overexposed. Adjust the aperture until the shutter speeddisplay stops blinking.Select this mode when you want to set both the shutter speed andaperture manually. Standard exposure of the main subject is obtainedwith the flash. The exposure of the background is obtained with theshutter speed (buLb, 30 sec. - 1/X* sec.) and aperture combination youset.With <X> (shutter-priority AE), you set the shutter speed (30 sec. - 1/X*sec.) as desired, and the camera sets the aperture automatically. However, thismode is not recommended since you cannot set the aperture.In the <Z> or <Y> mode, the result will be the same as shooting in the<V> mode.* 1/X sec. is the respective camera’s maximum flash sync speed.Automatic Flash in Each Shooting Mode<W> Aperture-priority AE<O> Manual exposureCOPY
