Using an External EOS-Dedicated Speedlite
Flash photography with an external, EOS-dedicated, EX-series
Speedlite is as easy as using the camera's built-in flash. E-TTL
autoflash linked to the AF frame is also possible. An external
Speedlite Is recommended for large group shots requiring a large
flash output and for portraits using interesting lighting effects.
High-speed sync (FP flash) which can synchronize with all shutter
speeds can be used, as well as FE lock (flash exposure lock).
For details, read the Speedlite's instructions which apply to Type
A cameras.
When the built-in flash Is popped up,

• When using a Basic Zone mode, pop
up the flash If the <^ > icon blinks. If
the built-in flash is already popped up,
it will fire automatically when
necessary in low-light or backlit
conditions.
• When using a Creative Zone mode,
you can fire the flash at anytime by
popping up the built-in flash.
