Page 311: External Speedlites
External Speedlites EOS-dedicated, EX-series Speedlites Basically operates like a built-in flash for easy operation. When an EX-series Speedlite (sold separately) 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.
Page 312: Using Non-Canon Flash Units
Using Non-Canon Flash Units Sync Speed The camera can synchronize with compact, non-Canon flash units at 1/200 sec. or slower shutter speeds. Use a sync speed slower than 1/200 sec. Be sure to test the flash unit beforehand to make sure it synchronizes properly with the camera.
Page 313: H Using Eye-Fi Cards
H Using Eye-Fi Cards With a commercially-available Eye-Fi card already set up, you can automatically transfer captured images to a computer or upload them to an online service via a wireless LAN. The image transfer is a function of the Eye-Fi card. For instructions on how to set up and use the Eye-Fi card or to troubleshoot any image transfer problems, refer to the Eye-Fi card’s instruction manual or contact the card manufacturer.
Page 314 H Using Eye-Fi Cards Check the [Access point SSID:]. Check that an access point is displayed for [Access point SSID:]. You can also check the Eye-Fi card’s MAC address and firmware version. Press the <M> button three times to exit the menu. Take the picture.
Page 315 H Using Eye-Fi Cards Cautions for Using Eye-Fi Cards If “J” is displayed, an error occurred while retrieving the card information. Turn the camera’s power switch off and on again. Even if [Eye-Fi trans.] is set to [Disable], it may still transmit a signal. In hospitals, airports, and other places where wireless transmissions are prohibited, remove the Eye-Fi card from the camera.

Canon Service Center. Power-Related Problems The battery pack does not recharge. Do not recharge any battery pack other than a genuine Canon Battery Pack LP-E12. The battery charger’s lamp blinks. If the battery charger has a problem, the protection circuit will stop the charging and the charge lamp will blink in orange.
Page 332 Troubleshooting Guide The battery becomes exhausted quickly. Use a fully-charged battery pack (p.30). The rechargeable battery pack performance will degrade over repeated use. Purchase a new one. The number of possible shots will decrease with any of the following operations: •...
Page 333 Troubleshooting Guide No images can be shot or recorded. Make sure the card is properly inserted (p.32). Slide the card’s write-protect switch to the write/erase position (p.32). If the card is full, replace the card or delete unnecessary images to make space (p.32, 268).
Page 334 Troubleshooting Guide Horizontal stripes appear, or the exposure or color tone look strange. Horizontal stripes (noise) or irregular exposures can be caused by fluorescent light, LED bulbs, or other light sources during viewfinder or Live View shooting. Also, the exposure or color tone may not come out right.
Page 335 Troubleshooting Guide ISO 100 cannot be set. Under [54: Custom Functions (C.Fn)], if [3: Highlight tone priority] is set to [1: Enable], ISO 100 cannot be set. If [0: Disable] is set, ISO 100 can be set (p.301). This also applies to movie shooting (p.186). ISO speed [H] (equivalent to ISO 25600) cannot be set.
Page 336 Troubleshooting Guide The built-in flash is raised by itself. In shooting modes (<A> <C> <2> <4> <C> <6>) whose default setting is < > (Auto flash), the built-in flash will rise automatically when necessary. The built-in flash does not fire. If you shoot continuously with the built-in flash at short intervals, the flash may stop operating to protect the flash unit.
Page 337 Troubleshooting Guide The shutter makes two shooting sounds during Live View shooting. If you use flash, the shutter will make two sounds each time you shoot (p.151). With FlexiZone - Multi, it takes longer to autofocus. Depending on the shooting conditions, focusing the subject may take longer.
Page 338 Troubleshooting Guide The exposure changes during movie shooting. If you change the shutter speed or aperture during movie shooting, the changes in the exposure may be recorded. Zooming the lens during movie shooting can cause changes in the exposure regardless of whether the lens’ maximum aperture changes or not.
Page 339 Troubleshooting Guide Display Problems The menu screen shows few tabs and options. In Basic Zone modes and in movie shooting mode, certain tabs and menu options are not displayed. Set the shooting mode to a Creative Zone mode (p.46). The file name’s first character is an underscore (“_”). Set the color space to sRGB.
