External Speedlites

With an EZ/E/EG/ML/TL-series Speedlite set in TTL or A-TTL
autoflash mode, the flash will be fired at full output only.

Set the camera’s shooting mode to <a> (manual exposure) or
<f> (aperture-priority AE) and adjust the aperture setting before
shooting.

When using a Speedlite that has manual flash mode, shoot in the
manual flash mode.

Sync Speed

The camera can synchronize with compact, non-Canon flash units at

1/200 sec. or slower shutter speeds. Use a sync speed slower than

1/200 sec.
Be sure to test the flash unit beforehand to make sure it synchronizes
properly with the camera.

Canon Speedlites Other Than the EX-series

Using Non-Canon Flash Units

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 may
not fire.
