3Setting the FlashN

When an EX-series Speedlite (such as the 580EX II, 430EX II, and 270EX) settable by the camera is attached, you can use the camera’s menu screen to set the Speedlite’s flash function settings and Custom Functions.

First attach the Speedlite to the camera and turn on the Speedlite. For details on Speedlite functions, refer to the Speedlite’s instruction manual.

Turn the <5> dial to select a flash function and set it as desired. The procedure is the same as setting a menu function.

On the screen, the settable items and what’s displayed will differ depending on the current flash mode, flash Custom Function settings, etc.

If you press the <B> button in step 3, you can revert the setting to the default.

With an EX-series Speedlite not settable with the camera, only [Flash exp. comp], [E-TTL II], and [Flash firing] are settable for [Flash function settings].

(For some EX-series Speedlites, [Shutter sync.] is also settable.)
