3 Setting the FlashN 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 the attached EX-series Speedlite is compatible with this function. The setting procedure is the same as setting a camera menu function. Select [Flash control]. Under the [1] tab, select [Flash control], then press . X The flash control screen will appear. [Flash firing] Normally, set this to [Enable]. If [Disable] is set, neither the builtin flash nor the external Speedlite will fire. This is useful when you only want to use the flash's AF-assist beam. E-TTL II Metering Modes For normal flash exposures, set this to [Evaluative]. [Average] is for advanced users. As with an external Speedlite, the metering area is averaged. Flash exposure compensation may be necessary. Even if [Flash firing] has been 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.86). 180
