Flash Photography with the EOS-Dedicated 550EX Speedlite

When the 550EX Speedlite is set to high-speed sync <

 > mode, it can automatically

synchronize at any shutter speed of 1/200 second or faster, thus providing high-speed sync
(FP) flash operation. When high-speed sync is On, the <

> icon appears in the viewfinder.

High-speed sync is effective for portrait photography in the following situations:
(1) When you want to use daylight sync flash for a portrait, and widen the aperture (reduce

the aperture value) to blur the background.

(2) When you want to produce a catchlight in the subject’s eyes.
(3) When you want to use fill flash to eliminate shadows.

By setting FEB (flash exposure bracketing) <

> with the 550EX, you can bracket the flash

exposure up to +/-3 stops in 1/2-stop increments. The flash output is changed automatically for
each bracketed shot so that the background exposure level remains the same.

Decreased exposure (–1.0)
