External Speedlites
EOS-dedicated, EX-series Speedlites
Basically operates like a built-in flash for easy operation.
When an EX-series Speedlite 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 procedures, see the EX-series Speedlite’s instruction manual. The camera is a Type-A camera compatible with all features of EX-series Speedlites.

Canon Speedlites other than the EX-series
The flash cannot be fired with an EZ/E/EG/ML/TL-series Speedlite set in the TTL or A-TTL autoflash mode. Use the Speedlite’s manual flash mode instead if provided.
Non-Canon Speedlites
The camera can synchronize with compact, non-Canon flash units at 1/ 200 sec. or slower. Be sure to test the flash unit beforehand to make sure it synchronizes properly with the camera.
If the camera is used with a flash unit or flash accessory dedicated to another camera brand, the camera may not operate properly and malfunction may result.
Do not attach a high-voltage flash unit on the camera’s hot shoe. It might not work.
