Non-Canon Flash Units

Sync speed

Sync speed for non-Canon compact flash units varies by shutter mode.

[

: Shutter mode] Setting

Sync Speed

Mechanical

1/200 sec. or slower

Elec. 1st-curtain

1/250 sec. or slower

With large studio flash units, the flash duration is longer than that of a compact flash unit
and varies depending on the model. Before shooting, confirm that flash sync is
performed correctly by taking some test shots at a sync speed of approx. 1/60 sec. to
1/30 sec.

Caution

Using the camera with a dedicated flash unit or flash accessory for cameras of
other manufacturers poses a risk of malfunction and even damage.
Do not attach a high-voltage flash unit to the camera's multi-function shoe. It may
not fire.
