When using an automatic ﬂash unit other than a Canon Speedlite, ﬁrst turn the shutter dial to ”~” (1/90 sec) Then turn the aperture ring to the same aperture which you have set on the ﬂash. With the shutter dial on ” f ,” other types of electronic ﬂash units can be synchronized either through the hot shoe or via the PC socket on the side of the camera. These allow two separate ﬂash units to be ﬁred simultaneously. Set the shutter dial according to the information in the table on the following page.

When shooting with a ﬂash bulb or a manual ﬂash unit, calculate the aperture with a guidenumber formula or with the calculator dial if the ﬂash unit has one. Turn the lens’ aperture ring to that aperture.

CAUTION

It is recommended to use a Canon ﬂash unit on this camera. Using a ﬂash or ﬂash accessory of another make may cause the camera to work improperly or even possi- bly damage the camera itself. If you use a non-Canon ﬂash. turn oﬀ the unit before YoU attach it to or remove it from the camera’s hot shoe. Before removing the ﬂash, press the ﬂash test button if it has one to discharge any power remaining in the capacitor. These are merely precautions; following these steps will not necessarily prevent the camera from being damaged by the ﬂash unit.
