About E-TTL II Autoflash
E-TTL II is a new autoflash exposure system incorporating
improved flash exposure control and lens focusing distance
information, making it more precise than the previous E-TTL
(evaluative flash metering with preflash) system.
The camera can execute E-TTL II autoflash with any EX-series
Speedlite.
