Flash Photography with Speedlite 550EX
Metered Manual Flash Photography
With manual flash exposures, you can set the correct flash exposure by referring to the flash
exposure level indicator in the viewfinder. This is useful for close-up flash photography.
You will need a standard 18% gray card and an E-TTL autoflash Speedlite (such as the MR-
14EX) capable of manual flash exposures.
