Using an Externally Mounted Flash (Sold Separately)

Configuring the Externally Mounted Flash (Sold Separately)

•The maximum flash synchro shutter speed is 1/250 second.

•The flash output will automatically adjust when [Flash Mode] is set to [Auto]. Flash exposure compensation and safety FE can also be set. However, when setting flash exposure compensation on the camera, make sure to set the flash exposure compensation amount on the flash to [+0] beforehand.

•The flash output can be adjusted on the camera or the flash* if [Flash Mode] is set to [Manual].

*With Speedlite 220EX and 270EX, settings cannot be made on the flash.

•In Dmode, you can set the flash output on the camera even if the flash unit is set to E-TTL flash exposure compensation. [E-TTL] will display on the flash, but the flash will fire at the flash output set on the camera. The flash compensation amount set on the flash will also change.

•Settings available on the camera are as follows.
