Using an External Flash (Sold Separately)
More sophisticated flash photography is possible with an optional Speedlite
EX series flash. For movie shooting using an LED light, the optional
Speedlite 320EX flash is available.
• This camera does not support some Speedlite EX series functions.
• Wireless operation of the Speedlite 600EX-RT is not supported.
• Non-EX series Canon flash units may not fire correctly or may not
fire at all, in some cases.
• Use of non-Canon flash units (especially high-voltage flash units) or
flash accessories may prevent normal camera operation and may
damage the camera.
• Also refer to the Speedlite EX series manual for additional information.
