Using Non-EX-series Canon Speedlites

• With an EZ/E/EG/ML/TL-series Speedlite set to A-TTL or TTL autoflash mode, the flash can be fired at full output only. Set the camera’s shooting mode to <M> (manual exposure) or <Av> (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.

Using Non-Canon Flash Units

Sync Speed

The camera can synchronize with non-Canon compact flash units at 1/200 sec. and slower speeds. With large studio flash units, since the flash duration is longer than compact flash units, set the sync speed within 1/60 sec. to 1/30 sec. Be sure to test the flash synchronization before shooting.

PC Terminal

The camera’s PC terminal can be used with flash units having a sync cord. The PC terminal is threaded to prevent inadvertent disconnection. The camera’s PC terminal has no polarity. You can connect any sync cord regardless of its polarity.

Cautions for Live View shooting

If you use a non-Canon flash unit with Live View shooting, set [:Silent LV shoot.] to [Disable] (p.206). The flash will not fire if it is set to [Mode 1] or [Mode 2].

• 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 connect to the camera’s PC terminal any flash unit requiring 250 V or more.

• Do not attach a high-voltage flash unit on the camera’s hot shoe. It may not fire. A flash unit attached to the camera’s hot shoe and a flash unit connected to the PC terminal can be used at the same time.
