3 Setting the Flash N
 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 (auto flash exposure), two flas hes 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.
  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 229. When performing wireless flash 
shooting with radio or optical trans mission using the master function 
of the external Speedlite, refer to the Speedlite’s instruction manual.
  Flash exposure compensation
See “Flash Exposure Compensation” on page 120.
  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 
the instruction manual of a Speedlite 
compatible with the functions.

Whenever you set the power switch to  or < 2>, the Self 
Cleaning Sensor Unit operates to aut omatically shake off the dust on 
the front of the sensor. Normally, you need not pay attention to this 
operation. However, you can choose to  perform sensor cleaning at any 
time, or disable it.
1Select [Sensor cleaning].
 Under the [5 3] tab, select [ Sensor 
cleaning ], then press < 0>.
2Select [Clean nowf].
  Select [ Clean now f], then press 
< 0 >.
  Select [ OK] on the dialog screen, 
then press < 0>.
X The screen will indicate that the 
sensor is being cleaned. (A small 
sound may be heard.) Although there 
will be a shutter sound during the 
cleaning, a picture is not taken.
  In step 2, select [ Auto cleaningf] and set it to [ Disable].
X The sensor cleaning will no longer be executed when you set the 
power switch to < 1> or .

Disabling Automatic Sensor Cleaning
 For best results, perform the sensor cleaning with the camera placed 
upright and stable on a table or other flat surface.
  Even if you repeat the sensor cleaning, the result 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 Dust Delete Data to the image for 
erasing the dust spots later. The Dust Delete Data is used by Digital 
Photo Professional (provided software , p.364) 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 [z 3] 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.

3Photograph 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.
X
The 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 1  images captured thereafter. Before an important shoot, it is 
recommended to update the Dust Delete Data by obtaining it again.
For details about using Digital P hoto Professional (provided software, 
p.364) to erase dust spots, refer to the Software Instruction Manual 
(p.367) on the Software Instruction Manual CD-ROM.
The Dust Delete Data appended to the image is so small that it hardly 
affects the image file size.
About the 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 software.

Dust that could not be removed by the automatic sensor cleaning can 
be removed manually with a blower,  etc. 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 [Sensor cleaning].
  Under the [5 3] tab, select [ Sensor 
cleaning ], then press < 0>.
2Select [Clean manually].
  Select [ Clean manually ], then press 
< 0 >.
3Select [OK].
  Select [ OK], then press < 0>.
X In a moment, the reflex mirror will 
lockup and the shutter will open.
4Clean the sensor.
5End the cleaning.
  Set the power switch to < 2>.
3  Manual Sensor Cleaning N
If you use a battery, make sure it is fully charged. If the battery grip with size-
AA/LR6 batteries is attached, manual  sensor cleaning will not be possible.
For the power source, using AC Adapter Kit ACK-E8 (sold separately) is 
recommended.

3 Manual Sensor Cleaning N
 While cleaning the sensor, never do any of the following. If the 
power is cut off, the shutter will close and the shutter curtains and 
image sensor may get damaged.
• Setting the power switch to < 2>.
•  Opening the battery compartment cover.
•  Opening the card slot cover.
  The surface of the image sensor is  extremely delicate. Clean the sensor 
with care.
  Use a plain blower without any brush  attached. A brush can scratch the 
sensor.
  Do not insert the blower tip inside the camera beyond the lens mount. If 
the power is turned off, the shutter will close and the shutter curtains or 
reflex mirror may get damaged.
  Never use canned air or gas to clea n the sensor. The blowing force can 
damage the sensor or the spray gas can freeze on the sensor.
  If the battery level becomes low while you clean the sensor, the beeper 
will sound as a warning. Stop cleaning the sensor.
  If a smudge that cannot be removed with a blower remains, having the 
sensor cleaned by a Canon Service Center is recommended.

Wireless FlashPhotography
You can use the built-in flash 
for wireless flash shooting.
The camera’s built-in flash can work as a master unit 
with Canon Speedlites with a wireless slave feature and 
wirelessly trigger the Speedlite(s) to fire.
Canceling the slave unit’s auto power off
To cancel the slave unit’s auto power off, press the 
camera’s < A> button. If you are using manual flash 
firing, press the slave unit’s test firing (PILOT) button to 
cancel the auto power off.
Be sure to also read the information about wireless flash 
photography in the Speedlite’s instruction manual.

Regarding your Speedlite (slave unit), refer to its instruction manual and 
set it as follows. The settings other than the ones below for the slave 
unit’s control are all set with the camera. Different types of Canon 
Speedlite slave units can be used and controlled together.
(1) Set the Speedlite as a slave unit.
(2) Set the Speedlite’s transmission channel to the same channel  as set on the camera. *

(3) If you want to set the flash ratio  (p.236), set the slave unit ID.
(4)
Position the camera and slave unit(s) within the range shown below.(5) Face the slave unit’s wireless sensor toward the camera. *2
*1: If the Speedlite does not have a transmission channel setting function, the camera 
can work with any channel.
*2: In small rooms, the slave unit may work even if its wireless sensor does not face the  camera. The camera’s wireless signals can bounce off the walls and be received by 
the slave unit. When using an EX-series Speedlite with fixed flash head and wireless 
sensor, take pictures to make sure it can fire.
