 If the battery’s remaining capacity  (p.268) is 94% or higher, the battery 
will not be recharged.
 
Do not recharge any battery  pack other than genuine Canon Battery Pack LP-E6.
 If there is a problem with the batte ry charger or battery pack or if 
communication with the  battery pack (non-Canon  battery packs) is not 
possible, the protective circuit will  terminate the charging and the orange 
lamp will blink quickly at  a regular interval. If there is a problem with the 
battery charger or batter y pack, unplug the charge r’s power plug from the 
power outlet. Detach and  reattach the battery pack to the charger. Wait 2 
to 3 minutes, then reconnect the powe r plug to the power outlet. If the 
problem persists, contact  your dealer or nearest Canon Service Center.
 If the internal temperature of the batte ry pack attached to the charger is 
high, the charger will not charge the battery for safety reasons (lamp

Troubleshooting Guide
 If you shoot at night when the ba ckground is dark, the shutter speed 
becomes slow automatically (slow- sync shooting) so that both the 
subject and background are properly  exposed. If you do not want a

Speedlite, flash exposure com pensation cannot be set with the 
camera. When the Speedlite’s flash exposure compensation is 
canceled (set to 0), flash exposur e compensation can be set with the 
camera.
  Set [ 8C.Fn I -7: Flash sync . speed in Av mode] to [0: Auto ]
