Canon Speedlites other than the EX-series

With an EZ/E/EG/ML/TL-series Speedlite set in the TTL or A-TTL autoflash mode, the flash can be fired at full output only. Set the camera’s shooting mode to <a> (manual exposure) or <f> (aperture-priority AE) and shoot.

When using a Speedlite which has manual flash mode, shoot in the manual flash mode.

With an EX-series Speedlite set to TTL autoflash with the flash’s Custom Function, the flash will fire at full output only.

Using Non-Canon Flash UnitsSync Speed

The camera can synchronize with compact, non-Canon flash units at 1/200 sec. or slower. Be sure to test the flash unit beforehand to make sure it synchronizes properly with the camera.

Cautions for Live View shooting

A non-Canon flash will not fire during Live View shooting.

If the camera is used with a flash unit or flash accessory dedicated to another camera brand, the camera may not operate properly and malfunction may result.

Do not attach a high-voltage flash unit on the camera’s hot shoe. It might not work.
