3. Using Non-dedicated Flash Equipment This camera's shutter can synchronize with non-dedicated portable flash units at up to 1/250 sec. and with studio strobes at up to 1/125 sec. Before use, test the flash unit at various shutter speeds to make sure it synchronizes properly with the camera. ● PC Terminal Flash units equipped with a synchro cord can be used by connecting the cord to the camera's PC terminal. The PC terminal is equipped with a lock screw to prevent accidental disconnection. The PC terminal provides only an X-sync contact and synchronizes at all shutter speeds up to 1/250 sec. • TTL automatic flash control is not possible. • Flash units can be connected to both the PC terminal and accessory shoe for multiple flash setups. ● We recommend using Canon dedicated speedlites with this camera. • Use of flash units (having two or more contacts on the hot shoe) or flash accessories that are designed for dedicated use with other brands of cameras will not work properly and may result in damage to your EOS camera. • Use of flash units of other brands with a trigger circuit voltage in excess of 6 volts DC may damage your camera. Consult your nearest authorized Canon service facility to confirm the compatibility. 80
