EOS-dedicated, EX-series Speedlites

An EX-series Speedlite (sold separately) makes flash photography as easy as normal shooting without flash.

For detailed instructions, see the EX-series Speedlite’s instruction manual. This camera is a Type-A camera that can use all the features of EX-series Speedlites.

FE Lock

This enables you to attain a proper flash exposure for a specific part of the subject. Aim the viewfinder center over the subject, then press the <A> button and take the picture.

Flash Exposure ompensation

In the same way as normal exposure compensation, you can set exposure compensation for flash. You can set the flash exposure compensation up to ±2 stops in 1/3-stop increments (with the camera).

Press the camera’s <m> button, then turn the <5> dial while looking at the LCD panel or LCD monitor.

Using Non-EX-series Canon Speedlites

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 adjust the aperture setting before shooting.

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