Using an EOS-dedicated Speedlite
The camera is compatible with the EX/EZ/E/EG/ML/TL-series EOS-
dedicated Speedlites.
For details on operating the Speedlite, refer to the Speedlite’s
instruction booklet.
Using an EX-series Speedlite
With E-TTL II autoflash (AF point-linked,
evaluative flash metering with preflash),
you can easily take natural-looking flash
pictures centering on the subject in the
same way as normal AE shooting.
With A-TTL/TTL autoflash (AF point-linked, off-the-film flash metering),
you can easily take flash pictures in the same way as normal AE
shooting.
Using an EZ/E/EG/ML/TL-series Speedlite
• Before attaching an external Speedlite, retract the built-in flash.
• If you use a flash unit (with multiple contacts) dedicated to another camera
brand or a high-voltage flash, the camera may not work properly or
malfunction may result.
• If focus is difficult to achieve, the EOS-dedicated Speedlite (one with a built-
in AF-assist light) will automatically emit the AF-assist light (except in <I>
<P> modes).
• With regard to EOS-dedicated Speedlites, this is a Type A camera
(compatible with E-TTL II autoflash).
About E-TTL II Autoflash
E-TTL II is a new autoflash exposure system incorporating improved flash
exposure control and lens focusing distance information, making it more
precise than the previous E-TTL (evaluative flash metering with preflash)
system.
The camera can execute E-TTL II autoflash with any EX-series Speedlite.
