Fully Automatic Flash Shooting
When you set the camera's shooting mode to <d> (Program AE) or a
fully automatic mode, you can shoot in the E-TTL II/E-TTL fully
automatic flash mode.
Even when attached to a camera that supports the E-TTL II autoflash,
<a> is displayed on the LCD panel.
If the flash exposure confirmation lamp does not light or if the subject is
dark (underexposed) when you check the image on the camera's LCD
monitor, move closer to the subject and shoot again. You can also set a
higher ISO speed when using a digital camera.
"Fully automatic mode" refers to <A>, <1>, and <C> shooting
modes.
