You can set Speedlite functions with the menu. Applicable only to a
compatible EX-series Speedlite when attached to the camera.

Select [External Speedlite control].
Under the [A1] tab, select [External
Speedlite control], then press <Q/
0>.
The external Speedlite control screen
will appear.
Normally, set this to [Enable].
If [Disable] is set, the external
Speedlite will not fire. This is useful
when you only want to use the flash's
AF-assist beam.
When using a Speedlite 90EX, if the
shooting mode is <A> (Scene
Intelligent Auto), <2> (Portrait),
<4> (Close-up) or <6> (Night
Portrait), the flash will fire
automatically regardless of this
setting. If the shooting mode is <C>
(Creative Auto), you can select [Auto
flash], [Flash on] or [Flash off] from
the Quick Control screen.
For normal flash exposures, set this
to [Evaluative].
[Average] is for advanced users. As
with an external Speedlite, the metering
area is averaged. Flash exposure
compensation may be necessary.
