3Setting the Flash

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.

Set the flash function settings.

Turn the <5> dial to select a flash function and set it as desired.

The procedure is the same as setting a menu function.

If you press the <B> button in step 3, you can revert the settings 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 under [Flash function settings].

(Certain EX-series Speedlites also enable [Shutter sync.] to be set.)
