Configuring the Externally Mounted Flash

(Sold Separately)

The maximum flash synchro shutter speed is 1/250 second.

The flash will automatically adjust its output when [Flash Mode] is set to
[Auto]. Flash exposure compensation and safety FE can be set when the
flash is set to auto exposure. However, when performing flash exposure
compensation with the camera, make sure to set the flash exposure
compensation on the flash to [+0].

The flash output can be adjusted on the camera or the flash if [Flash
Mode] is set to [Manual]. (With Speedlite 220EX and 270EX, settings
cannot be made on the flash.) In

D mode, you can set the flash output

with the camera even if the flash unit is set to E-TTL automatic flash
exposure compensation. [E-TTL] will display on the flash, but the flash will
fire manually. Also, if the flash compensation value is changed on the
flash, the flash output will also change.

Settings available on the camera are as follows.
