Canon Eos Rebel T6 1300d Instruction Manual

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, it 
can be pressed halfway and completely, just like the shutter button.
When you use the self-timer, bulb, or a remote switch and do not look 
through the viewfinder, stray light entering the viewfinder can cause the 
picture to look dark. To prevent this, use the eyepiece cover (p.33) 
attached to the camera strap.
During Live View shooting and movie shooting, attaching the 
eyepiece cover is unnecessary.
1Detach the eyecup.
 Push the bottom of the eyecup to 
detach it.
2Attach the eyepiece cover.
Slide the eyepiece cover down into 
the eyepiece groove to attach it.
 After you finish shooting, detach the 
eyepiece cover and attach the 
eyecup by sliding it down into 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, refer to the EX-series Speedlite’s 
instruction manual. This camera is a Type-A camera.
External Speedlites
EOS-dedicated, EX- series Speedlites
Shoe-mount Speedlites Macro Lites
With an EX-series Speedlite not compatible with flash function settings 
(p.199), only [ Flash exp. comp ] and [E-TTL II meter. ] can be set for 
[ External flash func. setting ]. ([Shutter sync. ] can also be set with 
certain EX-series Speedlites.)
 If flash exposure compensation is set with the external Speedlite, the 
flash exposure compensation icon  displayed on the camera’s LCD 
monitor will change from  y to 0 .
 If the external Speedlite’s Custom Function has the flash metering mode 
set to TTL autoflash, the flash will fire at full output only. 
						

							273
External Speedlites
With an EZ/E/EG/ML/TL-series Speedlite set in TTL or A-TTL 
autoflash mode, the flash will 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.
 When using a Speedlite that 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 beforehand to make sure it synchronizes 
properly with the camera.
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 unit on the camera’s hot shoe. It may 
not fire.

With a commercially-available Eye-Fi card already set up, you can 
automatically transfer c aptured images to a computer or upload them to 
an online service via a wireless LAN.
The image transfer is a function of the Eye-Fi card. For instructions on 
how to set up and use the Eye-Fi card or to troubleshoot any image 
transfer problems, refer to the Eye-Fi card’s instruction manual or 
contact the card manufacturer.
The camera is not guaranteed to support Eye-Fi card functions 
(including wireless transfer). In  case of a problem with an Eye-
Fi card, please check with the card manufacturer. Also note that 
approval is required to use Eye-Fi cards in many countries or 
regions. Without approval, use of the card is not permitted. If it 
is unclear whether the card has been approved for use in your 
area, please check with the card manufacturer.
1Insert an Eye-Fi card (p.36).
2Select [Eye-Fi settings].
 Under the [5 1] tab, select [ Eye-Fi 
settings ], then press < 0>.
 This menu is displayed only when an 
Eye-Fi card is inserted into the 
camera.
3Enable Eye-Fi transmission.
Select [Eye-Fi trans.], then press .
Select [ Enable], then press < 0>.
 If you set [ Disable], there will be no 
automatic transmission even with the 
Eye-Fi card inserted (transmission 
status icon  I).
4 Display the connection information.
 Select [ Connection info.], then press 
< 0 >.

5Check the [Access point SSID:].
Check that an access point is 
displayed for [ Access point SSID: ].
 You can also check the Eye-Fi card’s 
MAC address and firmware version.
 Press the < M> button three times 
to exit the menu.
6Take the picture.
 The picture is transferred and the 
 icon switches from gray (not 
connected) to one of the icons below.
 For transferred images,  O is 
displayed in the shooting information 
display (p.232).
H (Gray)  Not connected : No connection with access point.
H (Blinking) Connecting... : Connecting to access point.
H (Illuminated) Connected: Connection to access point established.
H ()  Transferring... : Image transfer to access point in progress.

Cautions for Using Eye-Fi Cards
If [53:Wi-Fi/NFC ] is set to [Enable], image transfer with an Eye-Fi card 
is not possible.
 If “J ” is displayed, an error occurred while retrieving the card 
information. Turn the camera’s power switch off and on again.
 Even if [ 51: Eye-Fi trans. ] is set to [Disable ], it may still transmit a 
signal. In hospitals, airports, and other places where wireless 
transmissions are prohibited, remove the Eye-Fi card from the camera.
 If the image transfer does not function, check the Eye-Fi card and 
computer settings. For details, refer to the card’s instruction manual.
 Depending on the wireless LAN’s connection conditions, the image 
transfer may take longer or it may be interrupted.
 The Eye-Fi card may become hot as it transmits.
 The battery power will be consumed faster.
 During the image transfer, auto power off will not take effect.
 If you insert a wireless LAN card other than an Eye-Fi card, [ 51: Eye-Fi 
settings ] will not appear. Also, the transmission status icon < H> will not 
appear.
