The built-in flash and external Speedlite settings can be set with the 
camera’s menu. You can use the camera’s menu to set the external 
Speedlite function settings only if an EX-series Speedlite compatible 
with this function is attached.
The setting procedure is the same as when setting a camera menu 
function.
Select [Flash control].
  Under the [ z1] tab, select [ Flash 
control ], then press < 0>.
X The flash control screen will appear.
  Normally, set this to [Enable ].
  If [Disable] is set, neither the built-
in flash nor the external Speedlite 
will fire.  This is useful when you only 
want to use the flash’s AF-assist 
beam.
  For normal flash exposures, set this 
to [Evaluative].
  [Average] is for advanced users. As 
with an external Speedlite, the 
metering area is averaged. Flash 
exposure compensation may be 
necessary.

[E-TTL II meter.]
Even if [Flash firing ] is set to [Disable], if focus is diffic ult to achieve in low 
light, the built-in flash may  still fire a series of flashes (AF-assist beam, 
p.98).

3 Setting the FlashN
You can set the flash-sync speed for 
flash photography in the aperture-priority 
AE (f) mode.
  : Auto
The flash sync speed is set automatically within a range of 1/200 
sec. to 30 sec. to suit the sc ene’s brightness. High-speed sync is 
also possible.
  : 1/200-1/60 sec. auto
Prevents a slow shutter speed from  being set in low-light conditions. 
It is effective for preventing subject blur and camera shake. 
However, while the subject will be  properly exposed with the flash, 
the background may come out dark.
  : 1/200 sec. (fixed)
The flash-sync speed is fixed at 1/200 sec. This more effectively 
prevents subject blur and camera shake than with [ 1/200-1/60 sec. 
auto ]. However, in low light, the s ubject’s background will come out 
darker than with [ 1/200-1/60 sec. auto ].
[Flash sync. speed in Av mode]
If [1/200-1/60 sec. auto] or [ 1/200 sec. (fixed)] is set, high-speed sync is 
not possible in the < f> mode.

3 Setting the FlashN
 Shutter synchronization
Normally, set this to [ 1st curtain] so that the flash fires immediately 
after the exposure starts.
If [ 2nd curtain ] is set, the flash will fire right before the shutter 
closes. When this is combined with  a slow shutter speed, you can 
create a trail of light such as from car headlights at night. With E-TTL 
II (auto flash exposure), two flas hes will be fired: Once when you 
press the shutter button complete ly, and once immediately before 
the exposure ends. Also, with shutter  speeds faster than 1/30 sec., 
1st curtain synchronization will  automatically take effect.
If an external Speedlite is attached, you can also select [ Hi-speed] 
( e ). For details, refer to the Speedlite’s instruction manual.
  Wireless functions
When performing optical transmissi on wireless flash shooting using 
the master function of the built-in flash, see “Wireless Flash 
Photography” on page 225. When performing wireless flash 
shooting with radio or optical tran smission using the master function 
of the external Speedlite, refer to  the Speedlite’s instruction manual.
  Flash exposure compensation
See “Flash Exposure Compensation” on page 118.
  Flash mode
You can select the flash mode to suit your desired flash shooting.
 [E-TTL II ] is the standard mode of 
EX-series Speedlites for automatic 
flash shooting.
  [Manual flash ] is for advanced users 
who want to set the [ Flash output] 
(1/1 to 1/128) themselves.
  Regarding other flash modes, refer to 
your Speedlite’s instruction manual.

Disabling Automatic Sensor Cleaning
 For best results, perform the sensor  cleaning with the camera placed 
upright and stable on a ta ble or other flat surface.
  Even if you repeat  the sensor cleaning, the re sult will not improve much. 
Immediately after the sensor  cleaning is finished, the [Clean now
f] 
option will remain  disabled temporarily.

Normally, the Self Cleaning Sensor Unit will eliminate most of the dust 
that may be visible on captured images . However, in case visible dust 
still remains, you can append the Du st Delete Data to the image for 
erasing the dust spots later. The Du st Delete Data is used by Digital 
Photo Professional (provided softwa re, p.350) to erase the dust spots 
automatically.
 Prepare a solid white object such as a sheet of paper.
  Set the lens focal length to 50 mm or longer.
  Set the lens focus mode switch to < MF> and set the focus to infinity 
( ∞ ). If the lens has no distance scale,  look at the front of the lens and 
turn the focusing ring clockwise all the way.
1Select [Dust Delete Data].
  Under the [ z3] tab, select [ Dust 
Delete Data ], then press < 0>.
2Select [OK].
  Select [OK ] and press < 0>. After 
the automatic self-cleaning of the 
sensor is performed, a message will 
appear. Although there will be a 
shutter sound during the cleaning, a 
picture is not taken.
