When an EX-series Speedlite is attached to the camera, almost all the autoflash control is done by the camera. In other words, it is like a highoutput flash attached externally in place of the built-in flash. For detailed procedures, see the EX-series Speedlite's instruction manual. The camera is a Type-A camera compatible with all features of EX-series Speedlites. Shoe-mount Speedlites Macro Lites Canon Speedlites other than the EX-series The flash cannot be fired with an EZ/E/EG/ML/TL-series Speedlite set in the TTL or A-TTL autoflash mode. Use the Speedlite's manual flash mode instead if provided. Non-Canon Speedlites The camera can synchronize with compact, non-Canon flash units at 1/ 200 sec. or slower. Be sure to test the flash unit beforehand to make sure it synchronizes properly with the camera.

Do not attach a high-voltage flash unit on the camera's hot shoe. It might not work. 152

Basically operates like a built-in flash for easy operation.
When an EX-series Speedlite is attached to the camera, almost all the
autoflash control is done by the camera. In other words, it is like a high-
output flash attached externally in place of the built-in flash. For detailed
procedures, see the EX-series Speedlite’s instruction manual. The
camera is a Type-A camera compatible with all features of EX-series
Speedlites.
The flash cannot be fired with an EZ/E/EG/ML/TL-series Speedlite
set in the TTL or A-TTL autoflash mode.
Use the Speedlite’s manual
flash mode instead if provided.
The camera can synchronize with compact, non-Canon flash units at 1/
200 sec. or slower. Be sure to test the flash unit beforehand to make
sure it synchronizes properly with the camera.
