Smart Flash Exposure (FE)
Canon’s Smart Flash Exposure intelligently controls the power and usage of the
onboard flash to ensure natural results in a variety of conditions. By using the focusing
distance as well as shooting scene information, an optimum balance between the
ambient light of the scene and flash power is achieved. When shooting in very bright
conditions, shadows sometimes appear on a subject’s face – these can be detected by
the camera and flash can be used to eliminate them. When shooting at close distances
overexposure is avoided by effectively sensing how reflective the subject is as well as
reducing the flash power to compensate for the close shooting distance.

pressed, Servo AF/AE will track it continuously - ensuring that the subject is in focus and
well-exposed when the shutter is finally pressed.
