E-TTL program automatically sets the flash aperture.
When the shutter button is pressed fully (SW-2), a
fixed-output preflash is fired right before the mirror
goes up. The AE sensor takes an available light
reading (before the preflash is fired) and a reflected-
light reading when the preflash is fired. The suitable
output of the main flash is then calculated, and the
main flash is fired. If an EX-series Speedlite is set for
high-speed sync (FP flash) and the light level exceeds
the lens’ minimum aperture, high-speed sync takes
