Using EOS-Dedicated, External Speedlites

102

¡

Before attaching an external Speedlite, retract the built-in flash if it is
popped up.

¡

If the EX-series Speedlite’s firing mode is set to TTL autoflash with the
Custom Function, the Speedlite will not fire.

¡

If autofocus cannot be achieved, the external, EOS-dedicated
Speedlite’s AF-assist beam (if the Speedlite has an AF-assist beam) will
be emitted automatically (except in the <

3> <5> <7> modes).

¡

The camera is a Type-A camera that can use all the features of EX-
series Speedlites.

Using Non-Canon Flash Units

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.

U LCD Panel Illumination

The LCD panel is provided with
illumination.
To illuminate the LCD panel, press the
<

U> button (9). To turn off the

illumination, press the button again. Use
it to read the LCD panel in the dark.

¡

Pressing any shooting-related button or turning the Mode Dial while the
LCD panel is illuminated prolongs the illumination.

¡

When the camera is connected to a printer and the <

U> button turns

blue, the button functions as a Direct print button. (p.136)
