External Speedlites
EOS'dedicated, EX,sedes Speedlites
Basically operates like abuilt-in flash for easy operation,
When an EX-series Speedlite (sold separately) 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 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.
Shoe-mount Speedlites Macro Lites
I_] _'_With an EX-series Speedlite not compatible with flash function settings
(p.216), only [Flash exposure compensation] can be set for [External
flash func. setting]. (With certain EX-series Speedlites, [Shutter
synchronization] is also settable.)
If flash exposure compensation is set with the external Speedlite, the
flash exposure compensation icon displayed on the camera's LCD
monitor will change from _ to _"_.
If the Speedlite's Custom Function has the flash metering mode set to
TTL autoflash, the flash will fire at full output only.
3O5

External Speedlites
Canon Speedlites Other Than the EX-series
_With an EZIEIEGIMLITL-series Speedlite set in TTL or A=TTL
autoflash mode, the flash can be fired at full output only.
Set the camera's shooting mode to <M> (manual exposure) or
<Av> (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.
Using Non-Canon Flash Units
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.
Cautions for Live View shooting
A non-Canon flash will not fire during Live View shooting.

how to set up and use the Eye-Fi card or to troubleshoot any image
transfer problems, refer to the Eye-Fi card's instruction manual or
contact the card's manufacturer.
OThe camera is not guaranteed to support Eye-Fi card functions
(including wireless transfer), in case of an issue with an Eye-Fi
card, please check with the card manufacturer. Also note that
approval is required to use Eye-Fi cards in many countries or
regions. Without approval, use of the card is not permitted, if it
is unclear whether the card has been approved for use in your
area, please check with the card manufacturer.

Using Eye-Fi Cards
I_ Cautions for Using Eye-Fi Cards
If"lO" is displayed, an error occurred vhile retrieving the card
information. Turn the camera's power switch off and on again.
Even if [Eye-Fi trans,] is set to [Disable], it may still transmit a signal. In

0ersonal computer settings. For details, refer to the card's instruction
manua
Depending on the wireless LAN's connection conditions, the image
transfer may take longer or it may be interrupted.
