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 [z 1] 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.

[Flash firing]
Even if [Flash firing] is set to [Disable ], if focus is difficult to achieve in low 
light, the built-in flash may still fire a series of flashes (AF-assist beam, 
p.96).

 Cautions for Radio Transmission Wireless Flash Shooting
• Radio transmission wireless flash  shooting cannot be set with the 
camera. Use the Speedlite to set the function.
• Set flash sync speed to 1/100 or less.
• High-speed synchronization is not possible.
• Group flash is not possible.
  The camera may not be able to set some of the functions of [ Flash 
mode ], [Zoom ], and [MULTI flash ], depending on the Speedlite model 
used. In such a case, use the Speedlite to set the functions.

 Flash mode
When using an external Speedlite, y ou 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 ] enables you to set the 
flash output yourself. This is for 
advanced users.
  Regarding other flash modes, refer to 
the instruction manual of an external 
Speedlite compatible with the 
functions.
  Shutter synchronization
Normally, set this to [ 1st curtain] so that the flas h 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 (autoflash exposure), two flashes  will be fired: Once when you 
press the shutter button completely, and once immediately before 
the exposure ends. Also, with shu tter 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.
  Flash exposure compensation
See “Flash Exposure Compensation” on page 113.
  E-TTL II flash metering
For normal flash exposures, set it to [ Evaluative]. [Average ] is for 
advanced users. As with an exter nal Speedlite, the metering is 
averaged for the entire area. Flash exposure compensation may be 
necessary.

settings, select [ Clear ext. flash C.Fn 
set. ] in step 1.

Dusts entering the camera can adhere to the image sensor and cause 
dust spots to be visible on the captured images. To erase these dust 
spots, you can append the Dust Delete Data to the images. The Dust 
Delete Data is used by Digital Photo Professional (EOS software, 
p.318) 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’s focus mode switch to < MF> and set the focus to 
infinity ( u). 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 [z 3] tab, select [Dust 
Delete Data ], then press < 0>.
2Select [OK].
  Select [ OK], then press < 0>. 
Instructions will appear.

3Shoot a solid-white object.
 At a distance of 20 cm - 30 cm (0.7 ft. - 
1.0 ft.), fill the viewfinder with a 
patternless, solid-white object and take 
a picture.
XThe picture will be taken in aperture-
priority AE mode at an aperture of f/22.
 Since the image will not be saved, the 
data can still be obtained even if there 
is no card in the camera.
X When the picture is taken, the camera 
will start collecting the Dust Delete 
Data. When the Dust Delete Data is 
obtained, a message will appear.
Select [OK], and the menu will reappear.
 If the data was not obtained 
successfully, an error message will 
appear. Follow the “Preparation” 
procedure on the preceding page, then 
select [
OK]. Take the picture again.
After the Dust Delete Data is obtained, it is appended to all the JPEG and 
RAW images captured thereafter. Before an important shoot, it is 
recommended that you update the Dust Delete Data by obtaining it again.
For details about using Digital Photo Professional (EOS software, 
p.318) to erase dust spots, refer to the Software Instruction Manual 
(p.321) on the CD-ROM.
The Dust Delete Data appended to the image is so small that it hardly 
affects the image file size.
Dust Delete Data
Be sure to use a solid-white object such as a new sheet of white paper. If the 
paper has any pattern or design, it may be recognized as dust data and 
affect the accuracy of the dust deletion with the EOS software.

If dusts adhere to the image sensor and dust spots appear on the 
images, you can clean the image sensor yourself with a camera blower. 
Before cleaning the sensor, detach the lens from the camera.
The surface of the image sensor is extremely delicate. If the 
sensor needs to be cleaned directly, having it done by a Canon 
Service Center is recommended.
1Select [Clean manually].
  Under the [5 2] tab, select [ Clean 
manually ], then press < 0>.
2Select [OK].
  Select [ OK], then press < 0>.
X In a moment, the reflex mirror will 
lockup and the shutter will open.
3Clean the sensor.
4End the cleaning.
  Set the power switch to < 2>.
3  Manual Sensor Cleaning N
If you use a battery, make sure it is fully charged.
For the power source, using AC Adapter Kit ACK-E10 (sold separately) is 
recommended.
