If the subject is on the side of the frame and you use flash, the subject may

turn out to be too bright or dark depending on the background, etc. This is

when you should use FE lock. After setting the proper flash exposure for

the subject, you can recompose (put the subject toward the side) and

shoot. This feature can also be used with a Canon EX-series Speedlite.
