built-in flash.
For detailed instructions, refer to the EX-series Speedlite's
instruction manual. This camera is a Type-A camera that can use all
the features of EX-series Speedlites.

If the Speedlite's Custom Function has the flash metering mode set to
TTL autoflash, the flash will fire at full output only.
