Canon SPEEDLITE 220EX Instructions Manual page 2

Thank you for purchasing a Canon product.
The Canon Speedlite 220EX is a Canon EOS dedicated
compact flash unit featuring the sophisticated E-TTL
(Evaluative-Through-The-Lens) autoflash control system.
When the Speedlite 220EX is used with Type A cameras
(see below), natural-looking photographs can be captured
readily even under difficult lighting conditions by combining
both flash and ambient light harmoniously for optimum flash
exposure in each of the camera shooting modes. In addition,
the Speedlite 220EX provides the following advanced flash
techniques for amateur and professional flash applications:
FP (Focal Plane) flash which enables the Speedlite 220EX
to synchronize with all shutter speeds (high-speed sync), FE
(Flash Exposure) lock which locks the flash exposure read-
ing for the desired area, and multiple flash setup to obtain
creative lighting effects.
When the Speedlite 220EX is used with Type B cameras (see
below), the Speedlite 220EX operates as a TTL flash unit.
The features available with the Speedlite 220EX differ
