Fully Automatic Flash Shooting - Canon EOS M Basic Instruction Manual

D Using a Flash
In indoors, low light, or backlit conditions in daylight, you can attach a
flash unit and just press the shutter button to take nice pictures. In the
<d> mode, the shutter speed (1/60 sec. - 1/200 sec.) will be set
automatically to obtain correct exposure of the subject.
In this section, the use of flash functions is explained using a Speedlite
90EX. For details about using other EOS-dedicated, EX-series
Speedlite flashes, see page 292. For details on the Speedlite 90EX, see
the Speedlite 90EX Instruction Manual. (When the Speedlite 90EX is
attached to this camera, its AF-assist beam will not light up.)
