Fully Automatic Flash Shooting
If the lens focal length blinks on the LCD panel, the periphery of the flash 
picture may turn out dark. Use the built-in wide panel (p.18).
 
<a> will be displayed on the LCD panel even if the camera is 
compatible with E-TTL II.
 
If the flash exposure confirmation lamp does not light, move closer to the 
subject and take the picture again. With a digital camera, you can also 
increase the camera’s ISO speed.
