Troubleshooting Guide

Even though I set a decreased exposure compensation, the image comes out bright.

Set [z2: Auto Lighting Optimizer] to [Disable]. When [Standard/ Low/High] is set, even if you set a decreased exposure compensation or flash exposure compensation, the image may come out bright (p.123).

When I use the <f> mode with flash, the shutter speed becomes slow.

If you shoot at night when the background is dark, the shutter speed becomes slow automatically (slow-sync shooting) so that both the subject and background are properly exposed. To prevent a slow shutter speed, under [z1: Flash control], set [Flash sync. speed in Av mode] to [1/200-1/60 sec. auto] or [1/200 sec. (fixed)] (p.215).

The built-in flash is raised by itself.

In the A, 2, 4, and 6modes, the built-in flash will be raised automatically when flash is necessary.

The built-in flash does not fire.

If you shoot continuously with the built-in flash at short intervals, the flash may stop operating to protect the flash unit.

The flash always fires at full output.

If you use a flash unit other than an EX-series Speedlite, the flash will always be fired at full output (p.306).

Under [z1: Flash control] and [External flash C.Fn setting], if

[Flash metering mode] is set to [TTL], the flash will always fire at full output (p.216).
