If the subject is on the side of the frame and you use flash, the subject 
may turn out to be too bright or dark depending on the background, etc. 
This is when you should use FE lock. After setting the proper flash 
exposure for the subject, you can recompose (put the subject toward 
the side) and shoot. This feature can also be used with a Canon EX-
series Speedlite.
* FE stands for Flash Exposure.
