setting, ƒEE blinks in the LCD panel and viewfinder, and the shutter locks.

select functions such as Flexible Program (page 53), Exposure Compensation
(page 61), Auto Exposure Bracketing (page 62), Multiple Exposure (page 64),
Slow Sync (page 78) or Rear-Curtain Sync (page 78) flash for more flexible
shooting. In Auto-Multi Program, however, the built-in Speedlight does not pop
up automatically.
