Shooting/Playback
The wireless controller can be used to shoot or play back. The 
wireless controller can be operated from an approximate distance of 
up to 5 m (16.4 ft.) from the front remote sensor (2) and 
approximately 1 m (3.3 ft.) from the side remote sensor ( 1).
z  ShootingPress the  /  button on the camera until the   icon appears in 
the display panel, then shoot the image.
When Macro Ring Lite MR-
14EX or Macro Twin Lite 
MT-24EX is mounted on 
the camera, it will block the 
front remote sensor  2. In 
this case, aim the wireless 
controller toward the side 
remote sensor  1.

the following circumstances.
• When the wireless controller is used at an angle to the remote 
sensor.
• When strong light strikes the camera.
• When the battery is weak.
z The movie editing and printing functions are not available.
z When you fix the camera to a tripod and shoot still images, aim 
the remote controller’s transmitter at remote sensor 1 (see the 
first illustration on page 169) to operate the camera from the side 
without touching the camera. This prevents camera shake when 
shooting just like using a remote release. You should set 
[Wireless Delay] in the Rec. menu to [0 sec.] when you use this 
method.

Using an Externally Mounted Flash (Sold 
Separately)
You can make your flash photography even clearer and more 
natural appearing with the use of a separately sold externally 
mounted flash.
The camera’s auto exposure function will operate with a Canon 
Speedlite 220EX, 380EX, 420EX, 550EX, a Macro Ring Lite MR-
14EX or a Macro Twin Lite MT-24EX (p. 174). (Except with the M
mode or when [Flash Adjust] is set to [Manual].) Other flashes may 
fire manually or not fire at all.
Please check the manual for your flash.
* Certain functions noted in the manuals for the Canon Speedlite 220EX,  380EX, 420EX, 550EX, the Macro Ring Lite MR-14EX and Macro Twin Lite 
MT-24EX cannot be performed when mounted on this camera. Please read 
this guide before using one of these flashes on the camera.
1Attach the flash to the camera’s 
hot shoe.
2Turn the external flash on and turn the mode lever to 
 (Shooting).

zThe flash will automatically adjust its output in the  ,  ,  , 
,P ,Tv  and  Av modes when [Flash Adjust] is set to [Auto]. The 
maximum flash synchro shutter speed is 1/250 second.
z In  M mode or when [Flash Adjust] is set to [Manual], the flash will 
fire with manual adjustments. The maximum flash synchro shutter 
speed in this case is 1/250 second. Set the aperture to an 
appropriate value according to the flash’s guide number and the 
distance to the subject. Check the camera’s ISO sensitivity setting 
since the flash’s guide number will change with the ISO value.
z When [Flash Adjust] is set to [Manual], the flash output can be 
adjusted. When [Flash Adjust] is set to [Auto] the flash exposure 
compensation can be adjusted (p. 107).
z In  M mode or when [Flash Adjust] is set to [Manual], the output of 
an externally mounted flash can be adjusted in the flash output 
adjustment screen (p. 108). When a Speedlite 550EX, a Macro 
Ring Lite MR-14EX or a Macro Twin Lite MT-24EX is mounted on 
the camera, you can adjust the flash output from either the flash or 
the camera. (The flash setting overrides the camera setting when 
both are set.) To set it from the flash, you are recommended to use 
the flash’s manual mode. You can also adjust the flash output 
even when the camera is set to the E-TTL automatic flash 
exposure compensation mode by changing the flash exposure 
compensation setting. In this situation, the +2 step setting fires the 
flash at full intensity.
To shoot with the flash, you are recommended to set the white 
balance to the   (Flash) setting.
Other Canon Flashesz Since other flashes fire at full strength, set the shutter speed and 
aperture accordingly. Set the shutter speed to 1/125 second or 
slower, and set the aperture to a value appropriate to the flash’s 
guide number and the distance to the subject.
You are recommended to set the white balance to   (Flash) to 
shoot.

z Flashes (especially high-voltage flashes) or flash accessories 
made by other manufacturers may override certain camera 
functions or cause a camera malfunction.
z The following functions can be used with a Speedlite 220EX, 
380EX, 420EX or 550EX.

• Flash Sync (1st-curtain/2nd-curtain) (2nd-curtain priority with  Speedlite 550EX)
• Daylight Synchro
• Slow Synchro
• Flash Exposure Compensation (When Speedlite 550EX is  used, if flash exposure adjustments are made both from the 
camera and the flash, the 550EX’s flash exposure 
compensation setting takes precedence when the flash is set to 
E-TTL mode. The camera’s flash exposure compensation 
setting will not activate.)
• Auto Zoom (Not available with the 220EX)

How to Mount Macro Ring Lite MR-14EX and Macro 
Twin Lite MT-24EX
The separately sold Conversion Lens Adapter LA-DC58C is required 
to mount Macro Ring Lite MR-14EX or Macro Twin Lite MT-24EX on 
the camera.
zConversion Lens Adapter LA-
DC58C can be divided into the 
rear and front parts. Normally, it 
should be used joined together. 
However, if you wish to use the 
whole range of the zoom, remove 
the front part and attach only the 
rear part to the camera.
When Only the Rear Part of Conversion Lens Adapter LA-
DC58C is Used
zNever attach any filters or close-up lenses. The lens hits the 
filter or close-up lens when zoomed in and that may cause 
damage.
1Turn off the camera. Then press 
and hold the ring release button 
and remove the outer ring on the 
lens.

z When Macro Ring Lite MR-14EX or Macro Twin Lite MT-24EX is 
mounted on the camera using Conversion Lens Adapter LA-
DC58C with its two parts joined, shooting in wide angle could 
cause dark shadows on the image.
z When Macro Ring Lite MR-14EX or Macro Twin Lite MT-24EX is 
mounted on the camera using only the rear part of Conversion 
Lens Adapter LA-DC58C, shooting in telephoto could block flash 
light.
z When you are using Macro Ring Lite MR-14EX or Macro Twin 
Lite MT-24EX, you can shoot in E-TTL automatic flash exposure 
compensation mode just by setting the camera’s shooting mode 
to  P,Av  or  Tv.
You are recommended to set the aperture in  Av or  M mode for 
full-fledged macro flash photography.
z The following functions can be used with Macro Ring Lite MR-
14EX or Macro Twin Lite MT-24EX mounted.
• E-TTL Automatic Flash Exposure Compensation
•FE Lock
• Flash Sync (1st-curtain/2nd-curtain)
(The flash’s 2nd-curtain setting takes precedence.)

z When exposure compensation settings are selected on both the 
camera and the Macro Ring Lite MR-14EX and Macro Twin Lite 
MT-24EX, the macro ring lite setting takes precedence (when in 
E-TTL mode) and the camera setting is overridden.
