Setting the Flash _

The built-in flash and external Speedlite settings can be set with the camera's menu. You can use the camera's menu to set the external

Speedlite function settings only if the attached EX-series Speedlite is

compatible with this function.

The setting procedure is the same as setting a camera menu function.

Select [Flash control].

Under the [_'] tab, select [Flash control], then press <8>.

The flash control screen will appear.

Normally, set this to [Enable].

If [Disable] is set, neither the built- in flash nor the external Speedlite will fire. This is useful when you only want to use the fiash's AF-assist beam.

With [Built-in flash func. setting] and [External flash func. setting], you can set the functions listed on the next page. The functions displayed under [External flash func. setting] will vary depending on the Speedlite model.

Select [Built-in flash func. setting] or [External flash func. setting]. The flash functions will be displayed. The functions not dimmed can be selected and set.

Even if [Flash firing] has been set to [Disable], if focus is difficult to achieve in low light, the built-in flash may still fire a series of flashes (AF-assist beam, p.84).
