The built-in flash and external Speedlite settings can be set with the 
camera’s menu. You can use the camera’s menu to set the external 
Speedlite function settings only if an EX-series Speedlite compatible 
with this function is attached.
The setting procedure is the same as when setting a camera menu 
function.
Select [Flash control].
 Under the [z 1] tab, select [Flash 
control ], then press < 0>.
 The flash control screen will appear.
 Normally, set this to [Enable ].
 If [Disable] is set, neither the built-
in flash nor the external Speedlite 
will fire.  This is useful when you want 
to use only the flash’s AF-assist 
beam.
3  Setting the Flash N
[Flash firing]
Even if [Flash firing] is set to [Disable ], if focus is difficult to achieve in low 
light, the built-in flash may still fire a series of flashes (AF-assist beam, 
p.100).

Cautions for Radio Transmission Wireless Flash Shooting
• Radio transmission wireless flash  shooting cannot be set with the 
camera. Use the Speedlite to set the function.
• Set flash sync speed to 1/100 or less.
• High-speed synchronization is not possible.
• Group flash is not possible.
 The camera may not be able to set some of the functions of [ Flash 
mode ], [Zoom ], and [MULTI flash ], depending on the Speedlite model 
used. In such a case, use the Speedlite to set the functions.

Flash mode
When using an external Speedlite, y ou 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 ] enables you to set the 
flash output yourself. This is for 
advanced users.
 Regarding other flash modes, refer to 
the instruction manual of a Speedlite 
compatible with the functions.
 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 a more 
natural feel. With E-TTL II (auto  flash exposure), the flash will be 
fired twice in a row: once when you press the shutter button 
completely and once right before the end of the exposure. Also, if 
the shutter speed is 1/30 sec. or fa ster, first-curtain synchronization 
will be applied automatically.
If an external Speedlite is attached, you can also select [ High-speed 
synchronization ] (e ). For details, refer to the Speedlite’s 
instruction manual.
 Flash exposure compensation
See “Flash Exposure Compensation” on page 117.
 E-TTL II flash metering
For normal flash exposures, set it to [Evaluative]. [ Average] is for 
advanced users. As with an exter nal Speedlite, the metering is 
averaged for the entire area. Depending on the scene, flash 
exposure compensation may be necessary.
