Setting The Flash Function - Canon EOS 250D Advanced User's Manual

Setting the Flash Function

With the built-in flash or an EL/EX-series, external Speedlite compatible
with the flash function settings, you can use the camera's menu screen to
set flash functions and the external Speedlite's Custom Functions.
If you use an external Speedlite, attach the Speedlite to the camera
and turn on the Speedlite before setting the flash functions.
For details on the external Speedlite's flash functions, refer to the
Speedlite's instruction manual.

fingers.
