Remote Switch RS-60E3 (sold separately) comes with an approx. 
60 cm/2.0 ft cord. When connected to the camera’s remote control 
terminal, Remote Switch RS-60E3 can be used to press the shutter 
button halfway and completely.
When you use the self-timer, bulb, or Remote Switch and do not look 
through the viewfinder, stray light entering the viewfinder can cause the 
image to look dark. To prevent this, use the eyepiece cover (p.25) 
attached to the camera strap.
During Live View shooting and  movie shooting, attaching the 
eyepiece cover is unnecessary.
1Remove the eyecup.
 Push the bottom of the eyecup to 
remove.
2Attach the eyepiece cover.
 Slide the eyepiece cover down into 
the eyepiece groove to attach it.
  After taking the picture, detach the 
eyepiece cover and attach the 
eyecup by sliding it down the 
eyepiece groove.

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.181), only [ 1 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.

							External Speedlites
264
 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 co mpact, 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.
Cautions for Live View shooting
A non-Canon flash will not fire  during Live View shooting.
Canon Speedlites other than the EX-series
Using Non-Canon Flash Units
 If the camera is used with a flash  unit or flash accessory dedicated to 
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.
