External Speedlites Canon Speedlites other than the EX-series With an EZ/E/EG/ML/TL-series Speedlite set in TTL or A-TTL autoflash mode, the flash can be fired at full output only. Set the camera's shooting mode to (manual exposure) or (aperture-priority AE) and adjust the aperture setting before shooting. When using a Speedlite which has manual flash mode, shoot in the manual flash mode. Using Non-Canon Flash Units Sync Speed 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. Cautions for Live View shooting A non-Canon flash will not fire during Live View shooting. 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 attach a high-voltage flash unit on the camera's hot shoe. It might not fire. 197
