External SpeedlitesEOS-dedicated, EX-series Speedlites

Basically operates like a built-in flash for easy operation. When an EX-series Speedlite (sold separately) is attached to the camera, almost all the autoflash control is done by the camera. In other words, it is like a high-output flash attached externally in place of the built-in flash.

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

Shoe-mount Speedlites

Macro Lites

With an EX-series Speedlite not compatible with flash function settings (p.216), only [Flash exposure compensation] can be set for [External flash func. setting]. (With certain EX-series Speedlites, [Shutter synchronization] is also settable.)

If flash exposure compensation is set with the external Speedlite, the flash exposure compensation icon displayed on the camera’s LCD monitor will change from yto 0.

If the Speedlite’s Custom Function has the flash metering mode set to TTL autoflash, the flash will fire at full output only.
