2: Enable external flash only
If an external Speedlite is attached,  it will emit the AF-assist beam when 
necessary. The camera’s built-in flash  will not fire the AF-assist beam.
3: IR AF assist beam only Among external Speedlites, only thos e which have an infrared AF-assist 
beam will be able to emit the beam.  This prevents any Speedlite which 
uses a series of small flashes (like  the built-in flash) from firing the AF-
assist beam.
With an EX-series Speedl ite equipped with a LED light, the LED light will 
not automatically turn on for AF-assist.

1: AE lock/AF
Convenient when you want to focu s and meter separately. Press the 
 button to autofocus, and press the  shutter button halfway to apply

2: AF/AF lock, no AE lock In the AI Servo AF mode, you can press the < A> button to stop the AF 
operation momentarily. This prevents  the AF from being thrown off by 
any obstacle passing between the came ra and subject. The exposure is 
set at the moment the picture is taken.
3: AE/AF, no AE lock This is useful for subjects which keep moving and stopping repeatedly. 
In the AI Servo AF mode, you can press the  button to start or stop 
the AI Servo AF operation. The ex posure is set at the moment the 
picture is taken. Thus, the opti mum focusing and exposure will always 
be achieved as you wait for the decisive moment.
If the external Speedlite’s [ AF-assist beam firing] Custom Function is set 
to [Disabled ], the Speedlite will not emit th e AF-assist beam even if the 
camera’s C.Fn-6 is set to 0, 2, or 3.

Basically operates like a built-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, see the EX-series Speedlite’s instruction 
manual. This camera is a Type-A camera that can use all the features 
of EX-series Speedlites.
External Speedlites
EOS-dedicated, EX-series Speedlites
Shoe-mount Speedlites Macro Lites
 With an EX-series Speedlite not compatible with  flash function settings 
(p.167), only [ Flash exp. comp ] and [E-TTL II meter. ] can be set for 
[ External flash func. setting ]. (Certain EX-series Speedlites also 
enable [ Shutter sync.] to be set.)
  If flash exposure compensation is se t with the external Speedlite, the 
flash exposure compensation icon  displayed on the camera’s LCD 
monitor will change from y  to 0 .
  If the Speedlite’s Custom Function  has the flash metering mode set to 
TTL autoflash, the flash will  fire at full output only.
COPY  
						

							227
External Speedlites
 With an EZ/E/EG/ML/TL-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 < a> (manual exposure) or 
< f > (aperture-priority AE) and adjust the aperture setting before 
shooting.
  If you are using a Speedlite which  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 s peeds. Use a sync speed slower than 
1/200 sec.
Be sure to test the flash unit befor ehand to make sure it synchronizes 
properly with the camera.

another camera brand,  the camera may not operate properly and 
malfunction may result.
  Do not attach a high-voltage flash un it on the camera’s hot shoe. It might 
not fire.
