Canon Speedlite 220EX TTL Shoe Mount Flash
Designed for
automatic operation only, the 220EX Flash
Unit excels at providing natural-looking
balanced flash exposures. When attached to
the EOS IX, EOS Elan II/Elan IIe/IIe, or EOS
Rebel G, the 220EX incorporates the superior
technology of Canon's unique E-TTL
evaluative pre-stored flash exposure control
system, FE Lock for a dimension of creative
control and FP Flash High Speed Sync) for
flash photography up to maximum shutter
speed. When used with other EOS cameras, or
the T90, it operates as a TTL autoflash
(off-the-film flash metering.)
When in E-TTL operation, flash exposure is
measured and controlled by the camera in
combination with Canon's AIM system. Subject
position, ambient light level, evaluative
metering and pre-flash data are instantly
analyzed, including heavy backlighting or
reflections from background windows or
mirrors.
The Canon Speedlite 220 EX, developed
primarily for the EOS IX, EOS ELAN II / ELAN
IIE and EOS Rebel G, is a high-performance,
fully-automatic, compact, clip-on E-TTL/TTL
flash unit. This Speedlite offers a wide
range of distinctive features that set it
apart from the competition.
