Troubleshooting Guide
Under the [_' Custom Functions (C.Fn)] menu, if [5: Highlight tone
priority] is set to [1 : Enable], the Auto Lighting Optimizer cannot be
set. If [0: Disable] is set, the Auto Lighting Optimizer can be set
(p.107).
If you shoot at night when the background is dark, the shutter speed
becomes slow automatically (slow-sync shooting) so that both the
subject and background are properly exposed. If you do not want a
slow shutter speed to be set, set [2: Flash sync. speed in Av mode]
in [_:" Custom Functions (C.Fn)] to 1 or 2 (p.218).
In the C3, _t'_, _, and [] modes, the built-in flash will pop-up
automatically when flash is necessary.
If you shoot continuously with the built-in flash at short intervals, the
flash might stop operating to protect the flash unit.
If flash exposure compensation has been set on an external Speedlite,
[Flash exp. comp] (p.169) cannot be set in the [External flash func.
setting] screen. Also, if you set flash exposure compensation with the
camera and then set flash exposure compensation with the external
Speedlite, the Speedlite's flash exposure compensation setting will
override the camera's. When the Speedlite's flash exposure
compensation is canceled, flash exposure compensation can be set
with the camera.
