Using an Externally Mounted Flash (Optional)

You can make your flash photography even clearer and more natural appearing
with the use of a separately sold externally mounted flash. The camera's auto
exposure function will operate with a Canon Speedlite 220EX, 380EX, 420EX,
550EX, a Macro Ring Lite MR-14EX or a Macro Twin Lite MT-24EX (p. 180). (Except
with the mode or when [Flash Adjust] is set to [Manual].) Other flashes may fire
manually or not fire at all. Please check the manual for your flash.
• Certain functions noted in the manuals for the Canon Speedlite 220EX, 380EX,
420EX, 550EX, the Macro Ring Lite MR-14EX and Macro Twin Lite MT-24EX cannot
be performed when mounted on this camera. Please read this guide before using
one of these flashes on the camera.
