Canon Speedlite 220EX Instruction Manual

10

Just set the camera’s shooting mode to <X> (shutter-priority AE), 
<W> (aperture-priority AE), or <O> (manual exposure), and you can 
use E-TTL II/E-TTL autoflash.

 *   1/X sec. is the camera’s maximum flash sync speed.

 

In the <Z> or <Y> mode, the result will be the same as shooting in the 
<V> (Program AE) mode.

X

Select this mode when you want to set the shutter speed manually.
The camera will then automatically set the aperture matching the 
shutter speed (30 sec. - 1/X* sec.) to obtain a standard exposure.

 

If the aperture display blinks, it means that the background 
exposure will be underexposed or overexposed. Adjust the shutter 
speed until the aperture display stops blinking.

W

Select this mode when you want to set the aperture manually.
The camera will then automatically set the shutter speed (30 sec. - 1/
X* sec.) matching the aperture to obtain a standard exposure.
If the background is dark like a night scene, a slow sync speed will be 
used to obtain a standard exposure of both the main subject and 
background. Standard exposure of the main subject is obtained with 
the flash, while a standard exposure of the background is obtained 
with a slow shutter speed.

 

Since a slow shutter speed will be used for low-light scenes, using 
a tripod is recommended.

 

If the shutter speed display blinks, it means that the background 
exposure will be underexposed or overexposed. Adjust the 
aperture until the shutter speed display stops blinking.

O

Select this mode if you want to set both the shutter speed and aperture 
manually.
Standard exposure of the main subject is obtained with the flash. The 
exposure of the background is obtained with the shutter speed (buLb, 
30 sec. - 1/X* sec.) and aperture combination you set.
