AFE LockN
FE (flash exposure) lock locks the correct flash exposure setting for any
part of the scene.
With the flash mode set to E-TTL II/E-TTL autoflash, press the camera's
<A> button to enable FE lock. On some cameras, press the <B> or
<7> button.
If the subject is too far away and underexposure may result, the <D>
icon will blink in the viewfinder. Move closer to the subject and perform
FE lock again. You can also increase the ISO speed and perform FE lock
again when using a digital camera.
If the target subject is too small in the viewfinder, the FE lock might not
be very effective.
