 Using an External Speedlite

260

 

With an EZ/E/EG/ML/TL-series Speedlite set to A-TTL or TTL 
autoflash mode, the flash can 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.

The camera can synchronize with non-Canon compact flash units at
1/250 sec. and slower speeds. With large studio flash units, be sure to 
test the flash synchronization before shooting with the sync speed set 
within approx. 1/60 sec. to 1/30 sec. The flash duration of such units is 
longer than that of compact flash units and varies depending on the 
model.

 

The camera’s PC terminal can be 
used with flash units having a sync 
cord. The PC terminal is threaded to 
prevent inadvertent disconnection.

 

The camera’s PC terminal has no 
polarity. You can connect any sync 
cord regardless of its polarity.

If you use a non-Canon flash unit with Live View shooting, set [z6: 
Silent LV shoot.] to [Disable] (p.297). The flash will not fire if it is set to 
[Mode 1] or [Mode 2].
